Is your land in Staveley the kind we want?
We look for infill plots across Staveley and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. Sitting about 24 miles north of Derby, Staveley is within Derbyshire, with Chesterfield and Dronfield close by.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Derbyshire stretches from the city of Derby and towns such as Ilkeston, Long Eaton, Belper and Ripley in the south and east to the Peak District uplands in the north-west. Green Belt covers land between Derby and Nottingham, near Swadlincote and on the edges of Sheffield and Greater Manchester, while the Peak District National Park covers much of the north. Former colliery and industrial land, edge-of-town fields and village infill are the usual sources of housing sites.
Before we make an offer in Staveley
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.
Services
Connections for drainage, water and power need to be reachable.
National policy in England now recognises "medium development" of 10 to 49 homes on sites up to 2.5 hectares, and asks councils to allocate at least 10% of their housing on sites of one hectare or less and a further 10% on sites of one to 2.5 hectares.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 55 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Staveley ask
How wide does an infill plot need to be?
There is no fixed figure; it depends on the street. A plot that allows a home similar in width to its neighbours, with space to the sides, is a good start.
Do small infill sites need biodiversity net gain?
In England, from 6 August 2026 most non-major sites of 0.2 hectares or less are exempt from mandatory BNG, unless priority habitat is affected. Wales uses a different approach.
Is Staveley too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 55 miles from Staveley, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Staveley?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
