Garden and backland development means building new homes on land behind existing houses. It works best where there is a safe access and enough space to avoid overlooking. We buy single large gardens and assemble neighbouring gardens where owners agree.

The garden and backland plots that interests us around Kidderminster
Backland development in Kidderminster turns on access and privacy; we look at both before suggesting whether an application is worth making. Kidderminster lies about 14 miles north of Worcester in Worcestershire. We also cover Stourport-on-Severn, Stourbridge, Kingswinford and the villages between them.
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Land behind houses with an existing drive or gap for access
- Paddocks and orchards behind homes on the edge of a village
- Sites with or without previous applications
Worcestershire includes Worcester, Redditch, Kidderminster, Bromsgrove, Droitwich, Evesham, Great Malvern and Stourport-on-Severn and many villages. Green Belt covers the north of the county next to the West Midlands conurbation, and the Malvern Hills and Cotswolds National Landscapes cover parts of the west and south. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, orchards and paddocks, village infill and former industrial land in the towns.
Checks we make on garden and backland plots in Kidderminster
Access width
The drive or road into the plot must be safe for cars, bins and emergency vehicles.
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.
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.
Parts of Worcestershire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 18 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
