Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Sandhurst
We are actively looking for commercial and industrial sites in Sandhurst and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.

The commercial and industrial sites that interests us around Sandhurst
We look at yards and units across Sandhurst where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses. Sandhurst lies about 11 miles south-east of Reading in Berkshire. We also cover Crowthorne, Yateley, Camberley and the villages between them.
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
The Elizabeth line, the Great Western Main Line and the M4 make many Berkshire settlements well connected, which matters under England's revised planning policy on locations near stations. Older office and commercial buildings in the larger towns, and paddocks and smallholdings on village edges, are common sources of smaller residential sites.
What usually makes or breaks it
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
Permitted development (England)
Some changes from commercial to residential use can be made through prior approval rather than a full application.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Some land in Berkshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 96 miles from Sandhurst, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Commercial and industrial sites in Sandhurst: common questions
My units are still let. Can you buy?
Yes, in many cases. We look at the leases and break dates and can plan a purchase around them.
Do I need to market the site first?
Not to sell to us. Marketing evidence can, however, support a planning case for change of use.
Is Sandhurst too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 96 miles from Sandhurst, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Sandhurst?
As Sandhurst is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
