Garden and backland plots wanted in Warwickshire
Development Land Wanted buys garden and backland plots in Warwickshire and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
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 Warwickshire the kind we want?
Warwickshire includes Nuneaton, Bedworth and Rugby in the north and east, Warwick, Leamington Spa and Kenilworth in the centre, and Stratford-upon-Avon and many villages in the south. Green Belt covers much of the north and west, next to Birmingham and Coventry, and the Cotswolds National Landscape reaches the south of the county. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, village infill and former industrial or colliery land around Nuneaton and Bedworth.
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane, road or track
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Paddocks and orchards behind homes on the edge of a village
- Sites with or without previous applications
The M40, M6 and M69 corridors and the Chiltern Main Line through Warwick and Leamington Spa attract interest, along with land near the High Speed 2 route. The south of the county has many conservation-area villages, so heritage and design are often important considerations for small sites.
What decides whether a site in Warwickshire works
Overlooking
New homes must sit far enough from existing homes to protect privacy.
Your own property
Selling garden land changes your home, so we plan boundaries and access carefully.
Mortgage consent
If your home is mortgaged, the lender will usually need to release the garden land.
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.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.

Questions owners in Warwickshire ask
My neighbours might sell too. Does that help?
Often, yes. Combining gardens can create a better site and access. We can talk to each owner and keep the arrangement fair.
What if my mortgage lender says no?
Lenders usually agree where the sale reduces the debt or the remaining security is adequate. We build time for this into the process.
