What affects the price
Number of homes
Each additional home a site can take adds value, if the layout works.
Affordable housing thresholds
In England, schemes under ten homes usually fall below the national threshold; many Welsh plans seek affordable housing from smaller sites.
Access
A short private drive can serve a few homes; more need an adoptable road.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage must fit within the site.

Planning and legal points for land in Suffolk
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.

Questions from landowners near Mildenhall
What is a small site?
Usually a site for fewer than ten homes. Definitions vary, but these are the sites larger builders often pass over.
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.
Can you visit land near Mildenhall?
Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
