Sell an infill plot or gap site in Staveley

Our interest in infill plots around Staveley is simple: we're buying land to build homes on, so we look for sites where homes are realistic and price them on that basis.

An infill plot is a small gap in an otherwise built-up street frontage, between existing homes or buildings. Because it continues an established pattern of development, an infill plot is often one of the more straightforward small sites to get permission for.

Is your land near Staveley a good fit?

  • Gaps in a continuous street frontage
  • Plots between two houses in a village or town
  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy

If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.

What England's rules mean for your land

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

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.

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 Staveley?

Yes. We consider land in and around Staveley and across Derbyshire. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
