Is your land in Congleton the kind we want?
Across Congleton, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. Congleton lies about 28 miles east of Chester in Cheshire. We also cover Biddulph, Kidsgrove, Sandbach and the villages between them.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
Cheshire includes Chester, Warrington, the Mersey towns of Widnes, Runcorn and Ellesmere Port, the mid-Cheshire salt towns and affluent towns such as Wilmslow and Macclesfield. A large part of the north and east of the county is Green Belt, so grey belt, previously developed land and infill are important there. In the south, around Crewe and Nantwich, more edge-of-town greenfield land and farmland comes forward.
What decides whether a site in Congleton works
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
Building condition
Structure, layout and light decide whether conversion makes sense.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 44 miles from Congleton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Cheshire
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.
My building is listed. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but it means listed building consent as well as planning permission, and design must respect the building's significance.
Is Congleton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 44 miles from Congleton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Congleton?
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.
