Farmland and paddocks wanted in Tonbridge
We want to hear from owners of farmland and paddocks in Tonbridge. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A paddock or field next to a village or town may have development potential, even if it has always been farmed. We assess how the land relates to the settlement, its access and the local plan, then explain which deal would suit.

What farmland and paddocks we want near Tonbridge
Fields that wrap around the edges of Tonbridge and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. In Kent, Tonbridge sits about 12 miles south-west of Maidstone; Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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 let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
Nutrient neutrality advice has affected the Stour catchment around Canterbury and Ashford because of the protected Stodmarsh wetlands. High Speed 1 stations and the M2, M20 and A2 corridors are a focus for growth, while coastal flood risk matters on the Thames and Swale estuaries and Romney Marsh.
What decides whether a site in Tonbridge works
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.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Parts of Kent 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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 132 miles from Tonbridge, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Kent
Can I keep farming while you pursue planning?
Yes. Under an option or a conditional contract the land normally stays in your hands, and in use, until completion.
My land is let to a tenant. Can I still sell?
Usually, yes. The type of tenancy decides how and when possession can be obtained, so we look at the agreement early.
Is Tonbridge too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 132 miles from Tonbridge, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Tonbridge to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
