What we look for around Putney

  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
  • Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish
  • Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy

Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

What decides the value of infill plots near Putney

Frontage width

Enough width for a home and its access shapes how much can be built.

Local plan policy

Some rural policies allow infill of one or two homes in small villages.

Neighbours

Windows and gardens next door limit the size and position of the house.

Heritage

Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.

Four routes to a sale

Outright purchase

Simple where permission already exists.

Subject-to-planning sale

The usual route for unconsented gap sites.

Option agreements

Seldom needed for single infill plots.

Joint ventures

Possible for a pair of homes if you'd like a share.

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

Planning and legal points for land in Greater London

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

The plot is in a conservation area

Good design is essential in conservation areas. We'll design to the street.

Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour

Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

What people ask us about infill plots

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.

Do you cover the villages around Putney?

Yes. Villages between Putney, Barnes and Fulham often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
