Redundant buildings we are looking for in Newport
We are interested in buildings around Newport that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. As the county town of the Isle of Wight, Newport anchors the area we cover here, along with East Cowes, Cowes and Ryde.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
The Isle of Wight has no Green Belt, but the Isle of Wight National Landscape covers much of the coast and downland. Housing is concentrated around Newport, Ryde, Cowes and East Cowes, Sandown and Shanklin, with many villages elsewhere. Typical sites are edge-of-town fields, infill plots, former holiday or commercial premises and farm buildings, with coastal change and ground instability relevant on parts of the coast.
What decides whether a site in Newport works
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.
Prior approval (England)
Some changes of use can be made through permitted development with prior approval.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.

Frequently asked on the Isle of Wight

Is Newport too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 130 miles from Newport, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Newport?
