Sell an infill plot or gap site in Bow
If you want to sell an infill plot or gap site in Bow, you can deal with the buyer directly. We look at the land, explain what it's worth and why, and leave the decision with you.
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.

Land is scarce and mostly brownfield. The outer boroughs contain Metropolitan Green Belt and metropolitan open land, both closely protected.
