What usually makes or breaks it
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.
Ground conditions
Old fuel or asbestos garage roofs need sensible handling.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 34 miles from Newcastle-under-Lyme, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Staffordshire
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.

We are happy to discuss sites with public bodies and housing providers, subject to their own disposal rules.
Is Newcastle-under-Lyme too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 34 miles from Newcastle-under-Lyme, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Newcastle-under-Lyme?
As Newcastle-under-Lyme 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.
