What redundant buildings we want near Wellingborough
We are interested in buildings around Wellingborough that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. In Northamptonshire, Wellingborough sits about 9 miles north-east of Northampton; Rushden and Kettering 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
Northamptonshire is centred on Northampton, with Kettering, Corby, Wellingborough, Rushden, Daventry and Brackley and many villages in between. There is no Green Belt and no National Park or National Landscape in the county, so constraints are mostly local: flood risk in the Nene valley, landscape and heritage. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, urban extensions, farm buildings and village infill, plus former industrial land in the towns.

Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.

Some changes of use can be made through permitted development with prior approval.

Your questions answered
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.
Do you buy buildings that need demolition?
Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
Is Wellingborough too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 54 miles from Wellingborough, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Wellingborough?
As Wellingborough 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.
