Residential development land wanted in Aldershot
Development Land Wanted buys residential development land in Aldershot and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
Residential development land means a site with a credible route to new homes. Planning permission is not essential: much of the land we want has none yet. What matters is location, access and whether local policy could support housing in the next few years.

Is your land in Aldershot the kind we want?
In and around Aldershot we are interested in land that sits naturally alongside existing streets, where new homes would read as part of the place. In Hampshire, Aldershot sits about 27 miles north-east of Winchester; Farnham and Farnborough are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land next to or within an existing town, village or suburb
- Sites with or without planning permission, including land promoted in a local plan
- Single plots, small sites, medium sites and larger strategic land
- Freehold land where the owner (or all the owners) can sell
Nutrient neutrality advice has applied across much of south Hampshire because of the Solent's protected habitats, and coastal schemes contribute to recreation mitigation for overwintering birds. The M3 and M27 corridors carry most planned growth, with smaller sites in market towns such as Alton, Andover and Romsey.
Before we make an offer in Aldershot
Flood risk
We check the official flood maps early; land in the highest-risk zones is rarely suitable for homes.
Development plan position
Whether the council has an up-to-date plan shapes how applications are judged; in England, housing land supply also matters.
Utilities and drainage
Foul and surface water drainage, and power capacity, affect cost and timing more than most owners expect.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Some land in Hampshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 102 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
How small a site do you consider?
We look at single building plots as well as larger sites. Small sites can be very worthwhile, particularly infill land within towns and villages.
Can I sell part of my land and keep the rest?
Often, yes. We can look at selling an agreed area, with access and boundaries set out so the land you keep is not left landlocked.
