Is your land in Hereford the kind we want?
We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Hereford, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. As the county town of Herefordshire, Hereford anchors the area we cover here, along with Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Ledbury.
- 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
Herefordshire is a rural county with the city of Hereford, the market towns of Leominster, Ross-on-Wye and Ledbury, and many small villages and hamlets. There is no Green Belt, but the Wye Valley and Malvern Hills National Landscapes cover parts of the county. Phosphate pollution in the River Wye and its tributary the Lugg has been a major barrier to new housing, so drainage and nutrient mitigation are often central to whether a site can proceed.
Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Hereford
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 48 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Herefordshire
Some garages are still rented. Is that a problem?
Usually not. Garage lets are often on short licences. We look at the terms and allow time to end them properly.
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Hereford?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Hereford?
As Hereford 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.
