Infill plots wanted in Tiverton

Development Land Wanted buys infill plots in Tiverton and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.

If you own a gap between buildings on a road, it may be an infill plot. We look at how new homes would sit alongside the neighbours, how they would be reached, and whether trees or drainage affect the space.

Infill plots we are looking for in Tiverton

Around Tiverton, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. Tiverton lies about 12 miles north of Exeter in Devon. We also cover Exeter, Taunton, Exmouth and the villages between them.

  • Corner plots within built-up areas
  • Small yards or garages between houses
  • Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
  • Land with or without an earlier planning history

The A30, A38 and M5 corridors and the main line from Exeter to Plymouth carry most of Devon's planned growth, including new communities east of Exeter. In coastal towns, flood risk and coastal change can affect sites, while nutrient neutrality advice has applied in the River Axe catchment on the Dorset border.

What decides whether a site in Tiverton works

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.

Trees

Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.

In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.

We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 132 miles from Tiverton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered

Will my neighbours be consulted?
