Land without planning permission wanted in Bromsgrove
We are actively looking for land without planning permission in Bromsgrove and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Having no planning permission does not rule land out. Many good development sites start as fields or yards with no consent. We look at local policy, access and constraints, then explain the options, including deals where we take on the planning work.

What land without planning permission we want near Bromsgrove
For land on the edges of Bromsgrove with no consent yet, the first questions are access, flood risk and how the council's current plan treats the area. Bromsgrove lies about 12 miles north-east of Worcester in Worcestershire. We also cover Redditch, Droitwich, Halesowen and the villages between them.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- Land the owner has put forward to a local plan or call for sites
- Plots within towns and villages that have never been built on
- Land where a previous application was refused for reasons that could be overcome
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.
What decides whether a site in Bromsgrove works
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Who pays for planning
Applications, surveys and reports cost money; on conditional and option deals we normally pay for them up front, and any costs deducted from the price are agreed and capped.
Timescale
Getting permission can take months or years; we are honest about that from the start.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
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 16 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Land without planning permission in Bromsgrove: common questions
Can I keep using the land while planning is sought?
Usually, yes. Farming, grazing or other current uses can generally continue until completion, subject to what we agree.
Do you buy land with no planning outright?
Sometimes. If we are confident about the planning route we can buy outright, which gives you certainty sooner but reflects the risk we take on.
Is Bromsgrove too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 16 miles from Bromsgrove, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Bromsgrove 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.
