Questions from landowners near Chadderton

What is an infill plot?

A small gap in an otherwise built-up frontage, usually between two existing buildings, that a new home could fill.

Is infill easier to get permission for?

Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.

Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?

Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.

Can you visit land near Chadderton?

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.
