The redundant buildings that interests us around Chesham
Redundant buildings in Chesham often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites. Sitting about 12 miles south-east of Aylesbury, Chesham is within Buckinghamshire, with Amersham and Berkhamsted close by.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
The planned East West Rail route and the existing lines into Marylebone and Euston shape where growth is directed in Buckinghamshire. Village infill plots, redundant farm buildings and garden land are frequent in the rural parishes, while Milton Keynes and Aylesbury attract larger edge-of-town and regeneration sites.
Checks we make on redundant buildings in Chesham
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
Building condition
Structure, layout and light decide whether conversion makes sense.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 81 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Chesham ask
Can a former pub be converted to homes?
Sometimes. Pubs are often protected by local policy, and the August 2026 NPPF aims to avoid loss of valued community facilities, so evidence about viability and need matters.
Do you buy buildings that need demolition?
Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
How quickly can you look at a site in Chesham?
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 Chesham?
As Chesham 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.
