What we look for in Cornwall
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Sites within a settlement boundary
- Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
- Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish
- Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.
How we arrive at a figure for land in Cornwall
Frontage width
Enough width for a home and its access shapes how much can be built.
Neighbours
Windows and gardens next door limit the size and position of the house.
Services
Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.
Local values
What new homes sell for in the street sets the ceiling.
Ways to sell this land

Rules that apply in England
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.
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas are managed with Historic England and the council's conservation team.
Common problems, and how we handle them
The plot is in a conservation area
Good design is essential in conservation areas. We'll design to the street.
Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour
Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
What people ask us about infill plots
What is an infill plot?
A small gap in an otherwise built-up frontage, usually between two existing buildings, that a new home could fill.
How wide does an infill plot need to be?
There's no fixed width. It depends on the house type, the street and whether parking is needed at the front.
Do I pay anything for your appraisal?
No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
Do you buy land in Cornwall?
Yes. We consider land across Cornwall, from Truro to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
