Redundant buildings we are looking for in Worcester
Across Worcester, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. Worcester is the county town of Worcestershire. Nearby places we also cover include Droitwich, Great Malvern and Stourport-on-Severn.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
Flood risk from the Severn, Teme and Avon is a major consideration around Worcester, Upton-upon-Severn and Evesham. The M5 and M42 corridors and the rail lines through Worcester, Bromsgrove and Droitwich attract interest, and grey belt is now relevant on parts of the northern Green Belt.
Checks we make on redundant buildings in Worcester
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
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.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 28 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
