Garage courts and yards we are looking for in Kingswood

Garage courts tucked behind homes in Kingswood are often ideal for a small number of new houses or bungalows. Kingswood lies about 31 miles south of Gloucester in Gloucestershire. We also cover Keynsham, Yate, Bath and the villages between them.

  • Parking courts behind houses
  • Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
  • Courts where some garages are let on licences
  • Land with or without planning history

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.

Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Kingswood

Access rights

Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.

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.

National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.

Some land in Gloucestershire 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.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 80 miles from Kingswood, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
