Is your land in Leighton Buzzard the kind we want?

Bedfordshire mixes the larger urban areas of Luton and Bedford with market towns such as Leighton Buzzard, Biggleswade and Ampthill and a wide spread of villages. Land coming forward for housing is often edge-of-town greenfield, village infill and former employment or yard land. The south of the county lies in the Metropolitan Green Belt and touches the Chilterns National Landscape around Dunstable, so whether a site sits inside those designations shapes what is realistic.
Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Leighton Buzzard
Displaced parking
Councils often want to know where current users will park.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 69 miles from Leighton Buzzard, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
