What redundant buildings we want near Kirkby-in-Ashfield
We are interested in buildings around Kirkby-in-Ashfield that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Kirkby-in-Ashfield lies about 11 miles north of Nottingham in Nottinghamshire. We also cover Sutton-in-Ashfield, Mansfield, Hucknall and the villages between them.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
Much of western Nottinghamshire lies on the former coalfield, so mining risk checks are common, and flood risk along the Trent affects Newark and riverside villages. The Robin Hood Line, the M1 and A1 corridors and growth around the city attract steady interest in housing land.
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.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 47 miles from Kirkby-in-Ashfield, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
