The commercial and industrial sites that interests us around Chalfont Saint Peter
We look at yards and units across Chalfont Saint Peter where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses. In Buckinghamshire, Chalfont Saint Peter sits about 18 miles south-east of Aylesbury; Gerrards Cross and Rickmansworth are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
Buckinghamshire runs from Milton Keynes in the north, through Aylesbury and the Vale, to High Wycombe, Amersham and the Chiltern towns in the south. The southern half is largely Metropolitan Green Belt and much of it lies in the Chilterns National Landscape, so sites there tend to be small, infill or previously developed. The north and the Aylesbury area see more edge-of-town greenfield land, farmland and strategic sites promoted through plan-making.
What usually makes or breaks it
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Permitted development (England)
Some changes from commercial to residential use can be made through prior approval rather than a full application.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 87 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Commercial and industrial sites in Chalfont Saint Peter: common questions
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 permitted development an option?
In England, some commercial-to-residential changes can use prior approval. Whether it applies depends on the use, the building and local restrictions.
Can an agent introduce land in Chalfont Saint Peter to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.

No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
