What we look for around Burnham-on-Sea

  • Gaps in a continuous street frontage
  • Former garages, workshops or yards in a street
  • 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.

Neighbours

Windows and gardens next door limit the size and position of the house.

Heritage

Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.

Rules that apply in England

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.

There's an old right of way across it

We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell
