What we look for in Gloucestershire
- Rows of lock-ups with a private access road
- Sites with an existing access onto a public road
- Garages owned by individuals, companies or associations
- Sites where neighbours have rights to use the access
- Garage sites already granted permission
Lock-up garages are often too small for modern cars and expensive to maintain. As a housing site, a garage court can be worth considerably more.
What decides the value of garage sites in Gloucestershire
Access width
The existing access must be safe for homes, including for emergency vehicles.
Tenants and licences
Garage licences can usually be ended on notice; leases need more care.
Overlooking
Garage courts are often enclosed by gardens, which limits the height of new homes.
Contamination
Old fuel, oil and asbestos roofs need checking and safe removal.

Planning and legal points for land in Gloucestershire
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.
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.
Land registration
Land in England is registered with HM Land Registry. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold, which your solicitor arranges.
When the land isn't straightforward
The roofs are asbestos
Asbestos cement roofs are common and can be removed safely by licensed contractors. We price it in.
Neighbours use the access
We check existing rights and design around them.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Photos of the land and its access
What people ask us about garage sites
Do you buy single garages?
Usually not on their own, unless combined with other land to make a site.
Is a garage court brownfield land?
Usually it's treated as previously developed land, which can help the planning case.
Who deals with asbestos?
If we buy, we take on removal using licensed contractors, and the cost is reflected in our offer.
Do you buy land in Gloucestershire?
Yes. We consider land across Gloucestershire, from Gloucester to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
