Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Great Malvern
We want to hear from owners of commercial and industrial sites in Great Malvern. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Commercial and industrial sites can sometimes be redeveloped for housing, particularly when they sit among homes or are no longer needed for business. We assess whether a change to residential is realistic and buy suitable sites across England and Wales.

Is your land in Great Malvern the kind we want?
In Great Malvern, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land. Great Malvern lies about 7 miles south-west of Worcester in Worcestershire. We also cover Ledbury, Worcester, Tewkesbury and the villages between them.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Garage, workshop and showroom sites
Flood risk from the Severn, Teme and Avon is a major consideration around Worcester, Upton-upon-Severn and Evesham. The M5 and M42 corridors and the rail lines through Worcester, Bromsgrove and Droitwich attract interest, and grey belt is now relevant on parts of the northern Green Belt.
Before we make an offer in Great Malvern
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.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 35 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Great Malvern ask
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.
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 Great Malvern too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 35 miles from Great Malvern, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Great Malvern?
As Great Malvern 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.
