Garage courts and yards wanted in Morecambe
Development Land Wanted buys garage courts and yards in Morecambe and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
A garage court or small yard is often underused land in the middle of a residential area. Redeveloping it for a few homes can work well, provided access, parking and neighbours are handled carefully.

Is your land in Morecambe the kind we want?
Across Morecambe, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Morecambe lies about 22 miles north of Preston in Lancashire. We also cover Heysham, Lancaster, Fleetwood and the villages between them.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Small service yards and compounds
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
The Forest of Bowland and Arnside and Silverdale National Landscapes and a small part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park cover the rural north and east. Flood risk on the Fylde coast, the Ribble and the Lune shapes many sites, and the M6, M55 and M65 corridors link the main towns.
