Commercial and industrial sites we are looking for in Hayling Island
In Hayling Island, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land. Hayling Island lies about 25 miles south-east of Winchester in Hampshire. We also cover Emsworth, Havant, Portsmouth and the villages between them.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
Nutrient neutrality advice has applied across much of south Hampshire because of the Solent's protected habitats, and coastal schemes contribute to recreation mitigation for overwintering birds. The M3 and M27 corridors carry most planned growth, with smaller sites in market towns such as Alton, Andover and Romsey.
What usually makes or breaks it
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
Neighbouring businesses
Homes next to noisy uses may need mitigation or may not be acceptable.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 128 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
