Is your land in Wembley the kind we want?
If a scheme near Wembley was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. In Greater London, Wembley sits about 8 miles north-west of central London; Harrow and Northolt are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Sites where planning permission has expired
- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.
What decides whether a site in Wembley works
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Technical work
Some refusals turn on drainage, highways or ecology evidence that can be improved.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 97 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
My application was refused. Should I appeal or re-apply?
It depends on the reasons and time limits. Sometimes a revised application is better than an appeal. We look at the decision and say what we would do.
Does a refusal make the land worth less?
It can affect value, but often the reasons can be addressed. Policy may also have changed since the decision.
How quickly can you look at a site in Wembley?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Wembley?
As Wembley 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.
