Is your land in Farnworth the kind we want?

- Land with or without planning history
Greater Manchester is a dense conurbation centred on Manchester and Salford, ringed by towns such as Bolton, Wigan, Oldham, Rochdale, Bury, Stockport and Altrincham. Green Belt separates many of these towns and covers the moorland fringe, so most housing land is previously developed: former mills, industrial estates, yards and town-centre sites. Grey belt and small edge-of-settlement fields can also come forward on the urban fringe.
What usually makes or breaks it
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 72 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
