Garden and backland plots wanted in Heysham
We want to hear from owners of garden and backland plots in Heysham. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A backland plot is land behind existing buildings, usually large rear gardens, reached by a new or existing access. Garden land can sometimes take new homes, especially where several neighbours sell together or a lane runs along the back.

Is your land in Heysham the kind we want?
Around Heysham, garden land is most promising where a lane already runs behind the houses or two or three neighbours can sell together. Sitting about 21 miles north of Preston, Heysham is within Lancashire, with Morecambe and Lancaster close by.
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane, road or track
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Plots where the owner wants to keep their house
- Sites with or without previous applications
The Forest of Bowland and Arnside and Silverdale National Landscapes and a small part of the Yorkshire Dales National Park cover the rural north and east. Flood risk on the Fylde coast, the Ribble and the Lune shapes many sites, and the M6, M55 and M65 corridors link the main towns.
Checks we make on garden and backland plots in Heysham
Access width
The drive or road into the plot must be safe for cars, bins and emergency vehicles.
Local garden policy
Some councils resist garden development; others support it where character is respected.
Your own property
Selling garden land changes your home, so we plan boundaries and access carefully.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 111 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
