Questions from landowners near Rottingdean
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
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.
