Sell an infill plot or gap site in Leatherhead
For owners of infill plots in and around Leatherhead, we offer four ways to sell, from a clean outright purchase to deals that pay more once planning is granted.
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.

Listed buildings and conservation areas are managed with Historic England and the council's conservation team.
