Farmland and paddocks wanted in Dursley
We want to hear from owners of farmland and paddocks in Dursley. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Farmland and paddocks can become development land when they sit beside a settlement that needs new homes. We look for fields on the edges of towns and villages across England and Wales and work with owners on options, conditional contracts and joint ventures.

Farmland and paddocks we are looking for in Dursley
Fields that wrap around the edges of Dursley and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. Sitting about 14 miles south of Gloucester, Dursley is within Gloucestershire, with Stroud and Yate close by.
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Flood risk from the Severn and its tributaries is a defining constraint around Gloucester and Tewkesbury, and sites near the tidal estuary need careful assessment. The M5 corridor between Gloucester and Cheltenham, and towns with railway stations such as Stroud and Yate, attract the most housing interest.
Before we make an offer in Dursley
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.
Parts of Gloucestershire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 63 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
