Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Dover
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
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.
Parts of Kent are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 169 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Kent
Who else might have rights over the court?

Is Dover too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 169 miles from Dover, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Dover assessed?
