What garage courts and yards we want near Andover
Across Andover, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Andover lies about 13 miles north-west of Winchester in Hampshire. We also cover Winchester, Newbury, Romsey 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
Hampshire includes the cities of Southampton, Portsmouth and Winchester, the north Hampshire towns of Basingstoke, Farnborough, Aldershot and Fleet, and a large rural area. The New Forest and South Downs National Parks, several National Landscapes and Green Belt on the Dorset border in the south-west all constrain land. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, infill plots and urban brownfield land.
Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Andover
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.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 94 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
