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.
Prior approval (England)
Some changes of use can be made through permitted development with prior approval.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Parts of Staffordshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 41 miles from Biddulph, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
My building is listed. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but it means listed building consent as well as planning permission, and design must respect the building's significance.
Do you buy buildings that need demolition?
Yes, where redevelopment is the better option and the planning position supports it.
Is Biddulph too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 41 miles from Biddulph, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Biddulph?
As Biddulph 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.
