The redundant buildings that interests us around Feltham
We are interested in buildings around Feltham that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Feltham is in Greater London, about 13 miles west of central London. Nearby places include Ashford, Hounslow and Sunbury-on-Thames.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
Outer London, from Romford and Bexley to Uxbridge, Barnet, Croydon and Sutton, contains most of the capital's remaining land opportunities. Around the edge, the Metropolitan Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land protect open space, and a small part of the Kent Downs National Landscape lies in the south-east. Sites usually come forward as small infill plots, garage courts, backland, former commercial buildings and occasional grey belt land on the urban fringe.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
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.
Parts of Greater London 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 99 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Greater London
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 Feltham too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 99 miles from Feltham, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Feltham?
As Feltham 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.
