Questions from landowners near Dunstable
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?
Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.
Do I pay anything for your appraisal?
No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
Do you cover the villages around Dunstable?
Yes. Villages between Dunstable, Luton and Leighton Buzzard often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
