Infill plots we are looking for in Havant
Around Havant, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. Havant is in Hampshire, about 20 miles south-east of Winchester. Nearby places include Emsworth, Waterlooville and Hayling Island.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Hampshire includes the cities of Southampton, Portsmouth and Winchester, the north Hampshire towns of Basingstoke, Farnborough, Aldershot and Fleet, and a large rural area. The New Forest and South Downs National Parks, several National Landscapes and Green Belt on the Dorset border in the south-west all constrain land. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, farm buildings, infill plots and urban brownfield land.
What decides whether a site in Havant 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.
In England, a planning permission normally has to be implemented within three years unless the council sets a different period, and councils aim to decide minor applications within eight weeks and major ones within thirteen.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 123 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Infill plots in Havant: common questions
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.
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Havant?
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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Havant assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
