Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Arnold
We want to hear from owners of commercial and industrial sites in Arnold. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If you own industrial units, a business yard or commercial land that is surrounded by housing or underused, it may be worth more as a residential site. We look at employment land policy, tenancies and ground conditions before making an offer.

The commercial and industrial sites that interests us around Arnold
We look at yards and units across Arnold where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses. Arnold is in Nottinghamshire, about 3 miles north of Nottingham. Nearby places include Nottingham, Hucknall and West Bridgford.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
Much of western Nottinghamshire lies on the former coalfield, so mining risk checks are common, and flood risk along the Trent affects Newark and riverside villages. The Robin Hood Line, the M1 and A1 corridors and growth around the city attract steady interest in housing land.
What usually makes or breaks it
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Neighbouring businesses
Homes next to noisy uses may need mitigation or may not be acceptable.
Permitted development (England)
Some changes from commercial to residential use can be made through prior approval rather than a full application.
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 45 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Arnold ask
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Arnold?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Arnold?
As Arnold 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.
