Land we're keen to see in Derbyshire
- Plots between two houses in a village or town
- 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.

Street character
Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.
Local plan policy
Some rural policies allow infill of one or two homes in small villages.

Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.

Planning and legal points for land in Derbyshire
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
Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour
Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.
There's an old right of way across it
We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.

Your questions answered
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.
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 you buy land in Derbyshire?
Yes. We consider land across Derbyshire, from Derby to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
