Infill plots wanted in Hereford
We want to hear from owners of infill plots in Hereford. 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.

What infill plots we want near Hereford
Around Hereford, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. Hereford is the county town of Herefordshire. Nearby places we also cover include Ross-on-Wye, Leominster and Ledbury.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Most new homes are planned around Hereford and the market towns, with smaller numbers in villages through neighbourhood plans. Typical opportunities include edge-of-village paddocks, redundant farm buildings, infill plots and former commercial land, with flood risk along the Wye and Lugg valleys a frequent consideration.
Checks we make on infill plots in Hereford
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
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.
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 48 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Hereford 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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Hereford?
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Hereford?
As Hereford 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.
