Is your land near Northallerton a good fit?
- Former workshops, depots and yards
- Sites on the council's brownfield land register
- Redundant commercial buildings in residential areas
- Land with known or suspected contamination
Brownfield sites often carry baggage: contamination, old foundations, tricky neighbours. They're also some of the best places for new homes, and policy generally supports their reuse.
The things that move our offer
Contamination
Investigation and remediation costs come straight off the land value.
Brownfield register
Inclusion on the council's brownfield land register can support permission in principle.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from nearby businesses affect design and value.
Flood risk
Many brownfield sites are near rivers and canals, so flood risk is checked early.
Four routes to a sale
Outright purchase
We take on the site and its problems for an agreed price.
Subject-to-planning sale
We complete once permission is granted for a housing scheme.
Option agreements
Can suit larger brownfield sites with a longer planning route.
Joint ventures
Worth discussing if you want to share in the regeneration value.

Planning and legal points for land in North Yorkshire
Planning framework
Planning decisions in England follow the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026, and the local plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. Plans are reviewed periodically, which is when new housing sites are usually allocated.
Section 106 and CIL
Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.
Brownfield first
National policy gives substantial weight to reusing suitable brownfield land for homes. Councils keep brownfield land registers, and some sites can gain permission in principle.
Common problems, and how we handle them
The buildings are being vandalised
A quick exchange can transfer risk and security responsibility sooner. We'll talk through timing.
A previous buyer pulled out after surveys
We'd like to see any reports. Problems can often be priced rather than walked away from.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
Common questions
Do you buy contaminated land?
Yes. We investigate and price the remediation, so you don't need to clean the site first.
Will you buy a site with tenants?
Yes. We look at the leases and how and when vacant possession can be achieved.
What is a brownfield land register?
In England, councils keep a register of brownfield sites they consider suitable for housing. Being on it can help the planning case.
