What England's rules mean for your land
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
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.
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 buy land in Rutland?
Yes. We consider land across Rutland, from Oakham to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
