Flood risk along the Severn affects Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth and riverside villages, and the M54 corridor links Telford with the West Midlands. Telford was built as a new town and still has land for regeneration, while many rural parishes plan small-scale growth through neighbourhood plans.
What decides whether a site in Market Drayton 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.
Some land in Shropshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 35 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Garage courts and yards in Market Drayton: common questions
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.
Do you buy council or housing association garages?
We are happy to discuss sites with public bodies and housing providers, subject to their own disposal rules.
Is Market Drayton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 35 miles from Market Drayton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Market Drayton 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.
