Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Trowbridge
We want to hear from owners of commercial and industrial sites in Trowbridge. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Older commercial and industrial land within towns is often better suited to homes than to modern business. We are interested in units, yards and estates where redevelopment for housing is realistic.

Is your land in Trowbridge the kind we want?
In Trowbridge, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land. As the county town of Wiltshire, Trowbridge anchors the area we cover here, along with Westbury, Melksham and Bath.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
Salisbury Plain and Stonehenge bring military and World Heritage considerations, and nutrient neutrality advice has affected the River Avon catchment around Salisbury. The M4 corridor around Swindon and Chippenham and the rail lines through Westbury and Trowbridge focus much of the area's growth.
Before we make an offer in Trowbridge
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
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.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Some land in Wiltshire 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 86 miles from Trowbridge, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Wiltshire
Do I need to market the site first?

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