Frequently Asked Questions About Renting Commercial Land in Dorset

Learn More
What is commercial land?
Commercial land refers to plots of land designated for business use. It may be used for open storage, parking, development, or industrial operations, depending on the planning permission and site infrastructure.
What types of commercial land are available to rent in Dorset?
You can find a range of commercial land including hardstanding yards, fenced compounds, development-ready sites, and land with temporary structures or utilities already installed.
What planning permission do I need to use commercial land?
Use depends on planning permission granted by the local council. Common classes include B2 (general industrial), B8 (storage/distribution), or sui generis (e.g. vehicle storage). Always check the permitted use before signing a lease.
Can I build on rented commercial land?
In most cases, permanent construction on leased land requires both landlord consent and planning permission. Some leases allow for temporary buildings, containers, or modular units depending on the site's terms.
What are typical uses for commercial land?
Typical uses include vehicle or plant storage, builder’s yards, scaffolding storage, logistics operations, event space, or development projects (subject to planning).
How is commercial land usually let?
Commercial land is typically let on leasehold terms, often for 1 to 10 years. Short-term lets, licences, and flexible arrangements may also be available for temporary or seasonal use.
Is the land usually serviced?
Some commercial land comes fully or partially serviced, with utilities such as water, electricity, and drainage. Others may be unserviced and more suitable for open storage or vehicle parking.
Are business rates payable on commercial land?
Yes, in most cases. If the land is rated for business use, you may be liable for business rates. The amount will depend on the site's rateable value, which you can check with the Valuation Office Agency (VOA).
What should I check before renting commercial land?
Review access and road links, ground condition (e.g. hardstanding or soft), drainage, fencing/security, planning class, services available, lease restrictions, and whether the site floods or is contaminated.
How do I find commercial land to rent in Dorset?
Search on LoopNet, look for listings that match your intended use, and always confirm the planning permission and terms with the agent or landlord.
