Sell an infill plot or gap site in Littlehampton

Whether your land is in Littlehampton itself or in the villages between Littlehampton and Bognor Regis, 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.

Is your land near Littlehampton a good fit?

  • Gaps in a continuous street frontage
  • Plots between two houses in a village or town
  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy

If you own an overgrown gap between houses, it may be worth much more as a plot than as a garden or yard.

Heritage

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

Yes. We look at the council's conservation area appraisal as part of our assessment.

Do I pay anything for your appraisal?

No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
