Wiltshire includes Swindon, Salisbury, Trowbridge, Chippenham, Melksham, Devizes, Calne, Warminster and Westbury, with many villages and much open downland. Green Belt from the Bristol and Bath area reaches the west of the county, and the North Wessex Downs, Cranborne Chase and Cotswolds National Landscapes and part of the New Forest National Park cover large areas. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former military or industrial land.

Before we make an offer in Calne

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.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 77 miles from Calne, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
