Infill plots wanted in Peacehaven
We want to hear from owners of infill plots in Peacehaven. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Infill plots fill a gap in an existing street. They are usually small, but because they sit within built-up areas the planning case can be good. We buy infill land across England and Wales, with or without consent.

The infill plots that interests us around Peacehaven
Infill gaps in Peacehaven's established streets can be among the easiest small sites to bring forward when the design respects the neighbours. Peacehaven lies about 6 miles south of Lewes in East Sussex. We also cover Seaford, Lewes, Brighton and the villages between them.
- 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
Brighton and Hove has very limited land between the Downs and the sea, so redevelopment of commercial buildings, garages and yards is common there. Inland, the A22 and A26 towns and High Weald villages see smaller schemes, where ancient woodland and the historic field pattern are frequent considerations.
Checks we make on infill plots in Peacehaven
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
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.
East Sussex has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Peacehaven are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 146 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
Will my neighbours be consulted?
Yes. The council consults neighbours on planning applications, and their comments are considered alongside policy.
Is Peacehaven too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 146 miles from Peacehaven, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Peacehaven?
As Peacehaven is in England, national policy comes from the National Planning Policy Framework, revised in August 2026. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
