What garage courts and yards we want near Boston
Garage courts tucked behind homes in Boston are often ideal for a small number of new houses or bungalows. Sitting about 27 miles south-east of Lincoln, Boston is within Lincolnshire, with Spalding and Sleaford close by.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Flood zones and the sequential test often decide what is possible in the Fens and along the coast, so sites on higher ground or within existing towns are favoured. The A1 corridor at Grantham and Stamford, the Lincoln area and the Humber ports see the most interest in larger housing land.
What decides whether a site in Boston works
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 84 miles from Boston, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Boston ask
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.
Is Boston too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 84 miles from Boston, and we look at land right across England and Wales.

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.
