Planning and legal points for land in Surrey

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.

Awkward details we deal with

Some garages are let

We look at the terms. Licences often end on short notice, which we allow for in the timescale.

Neighbours use the access

We check existing rights and design around them.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about garage sites

Can garage sites be turned into homes?

Often, yes. Many councils support redeveloping underused garage courts, subject to access, overlooking and parking.

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 cover the villages around Sunbury-on-Thames?

Yes. Villages between Sunbury-on-Thames, Walton-on-Thames and Hampton often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
