What makes small development sites near Redruth worth an offer
- Corner plots, odd-shaped parcels and leftover land
- Land at the end of cul-de-sacs
- Sites with an existing permission for a small scheme
- Small sites in villages where policy supports limited growth
Small sites are a focus for us. They're too small for many national housebuilders, and too complicated for many self-builders, which can leave owners without an obvious buyer.
How we arrive at a figure for land in Cornwall
Access
A short private drive can serve a few homes; more need an adoptable road.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage must fit within the site.
Biodiversity net gain
Since 6 August 2026, sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt unless priority habitat is affected; larger sites must still deliver at least a 10% gain.
Build costs
Small sites cost more per home to build, which the land price reflects.

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.
Biodiversity net gain
Under the Environment Act 2021, most developments in England must deliver at least a 10% gain in biodiversity. Since 6 August 2026, sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt unless priority habitat is affected.
Section 106 and CIL
Larger schemes often need a Section 106 agreement for affordable housing or contributions, and councils that have adopted the Community Infrastructure Levy charge it per square metre of new floorspace.
Awkward details we deal with
The site is an awkward shape
Odd shapes often still work for a short terrace or a pair of homes. We test layouts before offering.
The access is tight
We check whether it can serve the number of homes proposed.
Useful to send us
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- Any planning applications or letters
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
What people ask us about small development sites
Do small sites need affordable housing?
In England, national policy generally doesn't seek affordable housing on schemes below ten homes, though some rural areas set lower thresholds. In Wales, many Local Development Plans seek contributions from smaller sites. We check the local policy.
Will you buy a site that needs demolition?
Yes. We price in demolition and any contamination clean-up.
How do you value a small site?
We work out what the homes would sell for, then deduct build costs, fees, finance, planning costs and a profit margin. What's left is the land value.
Do you cover the villages around Redruth?
Yes. Villages between Redruth, Camborne and Truro often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
