Land with planning permission wanted in Brierley Hill
We are actively looking for land with planning permission in Brierley Hill and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
A site with planning permission already has the council's approval for development, so much of the planning risk has gone. If you have consent but no plans to build, or the permission is approaching its time limit, we would like to hear from you.

The land with planning permission that interests us around Brierley Hill
We are interested in sites with planning across the Brierley Hill area, including smaller consents that larger housebuilders may pass over. Brierley Hill lies about 9 miles west of Birmingham in the West Midlands. We also cover Stourbridge, Dudley, Kingswinford and the villages between them.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
- Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build
Metro tram extensions, the High Speed 2 stations at Curzon Street and Interchange, and suburban rail lines are a focus for higher-density homes. Former industrial land often needs contamination and ground investigation, and the Black Country's mining and limestone legacy means ground stability checks are common.
Checks we make on land with planning permission in Brierley Hill
Conditions
Pre-commencement conditions, such as drainage or ecology details, must be dealt with before work can lawfully start.
Scheme design
Some approved layouts are hard to build or sell; others can be improved with a fresh application.
Title and access
Consent does not cure title problems, so rights of access and covenants still need checking.
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.
Some land in the West Midlands is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, close to Brierley Hill, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
My permission expires soon. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Depending on the time left and the conditions, it may be possible to make a lawful start, apply again or vary the scheme. Tell us the expiry date as soon as you can.
Can you buy if the approved scheme is not one you would build?
Yes. Sometimes we buy on the basis of the existing permission and then seek changes through a new or amended application.
Can an agent introduce land in Brierley Hill to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Which planning rules apply to land in Brierley Hill?
As Brierley Hill 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.
