Overgrown gap site between two stone-and-brick cottages on a village street

What we look for around Grantham

Gaps in a continuous street frontage
Sites within a settlement boundary
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.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Lincolnshire

Frontage width

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

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.

Ways to sell this land

The usual route for unconsented gap sites.

Common questions

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.
