What garage courts and yards we want near Formby
We are looking for garage blocks and small yards around Formby, whether they are fully let, partly let or empty. In Merseyside, Formby sits about 11 miles north of Liverpool; Maghull and Southport are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Parking courts behind houses
- Small service yards and compounds
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Land with or without planning history
Regeneration areas along the Liverpool and Birkenhead waterfronts, and around Merseyrail stations, are a focus for higher-density homes. The coast from Southport to the Wirral includes internationally protected dunes and estuary habitats, so coastal schemes often need habitats assessment and recreation mitigation.
Before we make an offer in Formby
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, 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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 85 miles from Formby, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
