The commercial and industrial sites that interests us around Adwick le Street
Older business land around Adwick le Street, especially units now surrounded by housing, is the kind of commercial site we would like to discuss. Adwick le Street lies about 17 miles north-east of Sheffield in South Yorkshire. We also cover Bentley, Doncaster, South Elmsall and the villages between them.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
Most of the area lies on the former coalfield, so mining risk assessments are common, and flood risk from the Don, Dearne and Rother affects low-lying sites around Doncaster and Rotherham. The M1 and M18 corridors, Supertram and the rail network influence where higher-density homes are supported.
What decides whether a site in Adwick le Street works
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.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 77 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
