Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Warwickshire
We want to hear from owners of commercial and industrial sites in Warwickshire. 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.

Is your land in Warwickshire the kind we want?
Warwickshire includes Nuneaton, Bedworth and Rugby in the north and east, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth in the centre, and Stratford-upon-Avon and many villages in the south. Green Belt covers much of the north and west, next to Birmingham and Coventry, and the Cotswolds National Landscape reaches the south of the county. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial or colliery land around Nuneaton and Bedworth.
- 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
The M40, M6 and M69 corridors and the Chiltern Main Line through Warwick and Leamington Spa attract interest, along with land near the High Speed 2 route. The south of the county has many conservation-area villages, so heritage and design are often important considerations for small sites.
What decides whether a site in Warwickshire 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.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.

Commercial and industrial sites in Warwickshire: common questions
Will the council object to losing business land?
Some councils protect employment land. Evidence that the site is no longer needed or suitable for business can help.
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Warwickshire?
As Warwickshire 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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Warwickshire assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
