The infill plots that interests us around Richmond
Around Richmond, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. Richmond lies about 8 miles west of central London in Greater London. We also cover Hounslow, Kingston upon Thames, Southall 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
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 Richmond works
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.
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 101 miles from Richmond, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Richmond 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.
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.
Is Richmond too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 101 miles from Richmond, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Richmond 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.
