Infill plots wanted in Orpington
We want to hear from owners of infill plots in Orpington. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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.

Is your land in Orpington the kind we want?
We look for infill plots across Orpington and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. In Greater London, Orpington sits about 13 miles south-east of central London; Sidcup and Swanley are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.
What decides whether a site in Orpington works
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
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.
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 118 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Greater London
Can I sell a plot next to my own house?
Often, yes. We make sure access, boundaries and services are set out so your own home is protected.
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 Orpington too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 118 miles from Orpington, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Orpington to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
