Land we're keen to see around Totton

  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
  • Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
  • Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish

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

How we arrive at a figure for land in Hampshire

Frontage width

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

Neighbours

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

Services

Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.

Local values

What new homes sell for in the street sets the ceiling.

Choosing how to sell

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Hampshire

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.

Awkward details we deal with

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
  • Photos of the land and its access

Your questions answered

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.

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.
