Residential development land wanted in Farnborough
We want to hear from owners of residential development land in Farnborough. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
If a piece of land could hold new houses or flats, it counts as residential development land. That might be a paddock on the edge of a village, a yard in a town, or a field next to an existing estate. We assess each one on its own merits and say plainly what we think.

Residential development land we are looking for in Farnborough
Sites on the edge of Farnborough or the villages nearby can be worth a conversation, especially where they are well connected by road and bus or rail. In Hampshire, Farnborough sits about 29 miles north-east of Winchester; Camberley and Aldershot are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land next to or within an existing town, village or suburb
- Sites with a road frontage or a clear route to one
- Sites with or without planning permission, including land promoted in a local plan
- 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.
Checks we make on residential development land in Farnborough
Access
A safe vehicle access with adequate visibility is often the single biggest make-or-break item.
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.
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 100 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
Will you tell me if you think the land is not suitable?
Yes. If we think the site has no realistic route to homes we will say so and, where we can, explain why.
Can an agent introduce land in Farnborough to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
How quickly can you look at a site in Farnborough?
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.
