In short: Businesses rent open land in London for vehicle storage, plant hire, builders' merchants, container storage and parking. Check that the site has the right planning use (often storage and distribution or a specific consent), access for your vehicles, surfacing and drainage, security and any utilities you need. Leases are often shorter than for buildings, and some sites are let on licences pending redevelopment. Fraser Bond helps businesses find land and helps owners let it.
