What makes infill plots near Barnes worth an offer
- Gaps in a continuous street frontage
- Sites within a settlement boundary
- Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
- Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.

Questions from landowners near Barnes
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.
Can you check the conservation area rules for me?
Yes. We look at the council's conservation area appraisal as part of our assessment.
Can you visit land near Barnes?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
