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.
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.
Do you cover the villages around Rhondda?
Yes. Villages between Rhondda, Tonypandy and Aberdare often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
