Redundant buildings we are looking for in Earl Shilton
Redundant buildings in Earl Shilton often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites. In Leicestershire, Earl Shilton sits about 9 miles south-west of Leicester; Hinckley and Nuneaton are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
Leicestershire surrounds the city of Leicester and includes Loughborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Melton Mowbray and Market Harborough, plus many villages. There is no Green Belt, although local plans use green wedges and areas of separation to keep settlements apart. Typical sites include edge-of-town and village fields, farm buildings, infill plots and former industrial land around Coalville and the north-west of the county.
Before we make an offer in Earl Shilton
Prior approval (England)
Some changes of use can be made through permitted development with prior approval.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 25 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
