Sell an infill plot or gap site in Stamford
Whether your land is in Stamford itself or in the villages between Stamford and Oakham, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.
An infill plot is a small gap in an otherwise built-up street frontage, between existing homes or buildings. Because it continues an established pattern of development, an infill plot is often one of the more straightforward small sites to get permission for.
