Garden and backland plots wanted in Evesham
We are actively looking for garden and backland plots in Evesham and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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.

The garden and backland plots that interests us around Evesham
Backland development in Evesham turns on access and privacy; we look at both before suggesting whether an application is worth making. Evesham lies about 13 miles south-east of Worcester in Worcestershire. We also cover Tewkesbury, Stratford-upon-Avon, Worcester and the villages between them.
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane, road or track
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Land behind houses with an existing drive or gap for access
- Plots where the owner wants to keep their house
Flood risk from the Severn, Teme and Avon is a major consideration around Worcester, Upton-upon-Severn and Evesham. The M5 and M42 corridors and the rail lines through Worcester, Bromsgrove and Droitwich attract interest, and grey belt is now relevant on parts of the northern Green Belt.
Before we make an offer in Evesham
Overlooking
New homes must sit far enough from existing homes to protect privacy.
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.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 32 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Worcestershire
Will selling part of my garden affect my house value?
It can, and the effect varies. We plan the boundary and access to protect your home, and you should take independent advice on the overall position.
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.
Is Evesham too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 32 miles from Evesham, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Evesham?
As Evesham 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.
