Farmland and paddocks wanted in Hayling Island

What farmland and paddocks we want near Hayling Island
We are looking for farmland near Hayling Island with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the local plan. Hayling Island is in Hampshire, about 25 miles south-east of Winchester. Nearby places include Emsworth, Havant and Portsmouth.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- Land with road frontage or a farm track to a road
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land put forward to a local plan or call for sites
Nutrient neutrality advice has applied across much of south Hampshire because of the Solent's protected habitats, and coastal schemes contribute to recreation mitigation for overwintering birds. The M3 and M27 corridors carry most planned growth, with smaller sites in market towns such as Alton, Andover and Romsey.
What decides whether a site in Hayling Island works
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.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
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.
Parts of Hampshire 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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 128 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
