Green Belt surrounds York and reaches the Leeds fringe near Harrogate and Selby, while the Yorkshire Dales and North York Moors National Parks and the Nidderdale and Howardian Hills National Landscapes cover large areas.

Before we make an offer in Scarborough
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 135 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

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.
Who else might have rights over the court?
Neighbours sometimes have rights of way across garage courts. We check the title and any deeds for this.
Is Scarborough too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 135 miles from Scarborough, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Scarborough to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
