What makes small development sites near Leominster worth an offer
- Sites for two to around nine homes
- Land at the end of cul-de-sacs
- Old yards, depots and lock-up sites
- Land within a settlement boundary
A corner of land, an old yard or a large garden can make a small site for a few homes. We buy them, and our aim is to take them through planning to new homes.
What decides the value of small development sites near Leominster
Access
A short private drive can serve a few homes; more need an adoptable road.
Trees and boundaries
Mature trees and hedges on small sites have a big effect on layout.
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.
Common problems, and how we handle them
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.
There's a protected tree
We design around it and allow for root protection areas.
