Kent ranges from the Medway towns, Dartford and Gravesend on the Thames to Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells and the coastal towns of Margate, Ramsgate, Folkestone and Dover. West Kent is largely Metropolitan Green Belt, while the Kent Downs and High Weald National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Sites typically include edge-of-town fields, orchards and farmland, farm buildings, infill plots and brownfield land in the towns.
Before we make an offer in Margate
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.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 162 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
