Green Belt covers the north of the county next to the West Midlands conurbation, and the Malvern Hills and Cotswolds National Landscapes cover parts of the west and south.

Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
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.
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.

Redundant buildings in Great Malvern: common questions
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 Great Malvern too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 35 miles from Great Malvern, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Great Malvern?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
