Do I need planning permission before buying commercial land?
Not necessarily, but land with outline or full planning permission is generally more valuable and easier to develop. If buying without permission (often called 'strategic land'), you’ll need to apply through the local planning authority before development can proceed.
What is the difference between brownfield and greenfield land?
Brownfield land refers to previously developed land (e.g. former industrial or commercial sites), often with existing infrastructure. Greenfield land is undeveloped and typically located in rural or suburban areas. Brownfield sites may require more remediation but are often easier to gain planning consent for.
What due diligence should I carry out before purchasing development land?
Check the planning history, local development plan, title and legal ownership, contamination or environmental risks, access rights, and any restrictive covenants. Engage planning consultants and solicitors early in the process.
Is access to services important when buying development land?
Yes. Availability of electricity, water, sewage, and road access significantly impacts development viability and cost. Fully serviced plots are more desirable and typically fetch a premium.
What types of developments can commercial land be used for?
Depending on planning permission, commercial land can be developed into retail parks, industrial estates, logistics hubs, office parks, mixed-use schemes, or leisure facilities. The site’s location and zoning will influence its most suitable use.
