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.
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 Margate?
Yes. Villages between Margate, Broadstairs and Ramsgate often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
