Before we make an offer in Emsworth
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.
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.

Frequently asked in Hampshire
Who else might have rights over the court?
Neighbours sometimes have rights of way across garage courts. We check the title and any deeds for this.
How many homes could fit?
It depends on the size and shape of the court and its access; small courts may take one or two homes, larger ones more.
Can an agent introduce land in Emsworth 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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Emsworth?
As Emsworth is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
