What makes small development sites near Darras Hall worth an offer
- Sites for two to around nine homes
- Corner plots, odd-shaped parcels and leftover land
- 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 affects the price
Number of homes
Each additional home a site can take adds value, if the layout works.
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.
Awkward details we deal with
There's a protected tree
We design around it and allow for root protection areas.
The access is tight
We check whether it can serve the number of homes proposed.

Common questions
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.
