Sell an infill plot or gap site in Stroud
Our interest in infill plots around Stroud 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.

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.

Questions from landowners near Stroud
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.
Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?
Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.
Do you cover the villages around Stroud?
Yes. Villages between Stroud, Dursley and Gloucester often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
