Overgrown gap site between two stone-and-brick cottages on a village street

Is your land in Worcestershire a good fit?

  • Gaps in a continuous street frontage
  • Plots between two houses in a village or town
  • Sites within a settlement boundary
  • Overgrown plots with a pavement frontage
  • Sites with an old outbuilding to demolish

Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

The things that move our offer

Frontage width

Enough width for a home and its access shapes how much can be built.

Street character

Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.

Local plan policy

Some rural policies allow infill of one or two homes in small villages.

Neighbours

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

What happens next

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

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.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

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 Worcestershire?

Yes. We consider land across Worcestershire, from Worcester to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
