Is your land in Crowthorne the kind we want?
Infill gaps in Crowthorne's established streets can be among the easiest small sites to bring forward when the design respects the neighbours. Sitting about 10 miles south-east of Reading, Crowthorne is within Berkshire, with Sandhurst and Yateley close by.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
The Elizabeth line, the Great Western Main Line and the M4 make many Berkshire settlements well connected, which matters under England's revised planning policy on locations near stations. Older office and commercial buildings in the larger towns, and paddocks and smallholdings on village edges, are common sources of smaller residential sites.
What usually makes or breaks it
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
