What decides the value of infill plots in Kent
Street character
Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.
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.
Local values
What new homes sell for in the street sets the ceiling.
Ways to sell this land
Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

Planning and legal points for land in Kent
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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.

What people ask us about infill plots
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.
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 I pay anything for your appraisal?
No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
Do you buy land in Kent?
Yes. We consider land across Kent, from Maidstone to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
