Nutrient neutrality advice has affected the Stour catchment around Canterbury and Ashford because of the protected Stodmarsh wetlands. High Speed 1 stations and the M2, M20 and A2 corridors are a focus for growth, while coastal flood risk matters on the Thames and Swale estuaries and Romney Marsh.
Checks we make on redundant buildings in Tunbridge Wells
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 135 miles from Tunbridge Wells, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Kent
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.
Should I strip out the building before selling?
No. Leave it as it is and tell us about its condition; we will assess it as found.
Is Tunbridge Wells too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 135 miles from Tunbridge Wells, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Tunbridge Wells to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
