Infill plots wanted in Wembley
Development Land Wanted buys infill plots in Wembley 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.

Is your land in Wembley the kind we want?
Around Wembley, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. Wembley lies about 8 miles north-west of central London in Greater London. We also cover Harrow, Northolt, Edgware and the villages between them.
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
Outer London, from Romford and Bexley to Uxbridge, Barnet, Croydon and Sutton, contains most of the capital's remaining land opportunities. Around the edge, the Metropolitan Green Belt and Metropolitan Open Land protect open space, and a small part of the Kent Downs National Landscape lies in the south-east. Sites usually come forward as small infill plots, garage courts, backland, former commercial buildings and occasional grey belt land on the urban fringe.
What usually makes or breaks it
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Parking and access
A safe access and enough parking can decide small schemes.
Services
Connections for drainage, water and power need to be reachable.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Some land in Greater London is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 97 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Wembley ask
Will my neighbours be consulted?
Yes. The council consults neighbours on planning applications, and their comments are considered alongside policy.
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.
Can an agent introduce land in Wembley 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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Wembley?
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.
