Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, infill plots and urban brownfield land.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Hedge End
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
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.
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.
Some land in Hampshire 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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 116 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
