Staffordshire includes Stoke-on-Trent and Newcastle-under-Lyme, Stafford, Burton upon Trent, Tamworth, Lichfield, Cannock and the moorland town of Leek. Green Belt surrounds the Potteries and covers the south of the county next to the West Midlands, while the Peak District National Park and Cannock Chase National Landscape are major designations. Typical sites include former pottery and colliery land, edge-of-town fields, farm buildings and village infill.
Checks we make on commercial and industrial sites in Biddulph
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
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.
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.
Some land in Staffordshire 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 41 miles from Biddulph, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.

In England, some commercial-to-residential changes can use prior approval. Whether it applies depends on the use, the building and local restrictions.
