What decides whether a site in Telford works

Licences and tenants
Garage licences are usually easy to end, but we check the terms.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
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.

Garage courts and yards in Telford: common questions
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.

Neighbours sometimes have rights of way across garage courts. We check the title and any deeds for this.
Is Telford too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 24 miles from Telford, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Telford?
As Telford is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
