Checks we make on garage courts and yards in Great Wyrley

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.

Ground conditions

Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.

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, close to Great Wyrley, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
