Is your land in Bushey the kind we want?
We look for infill plots across Bushey and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. Sitting about 16 miles south-west of Hertford, Bushey is within Hertfordshire, with Watford and Pinner close by.
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Hertfordshire is a county of medium-sized towns, including Watford, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, St Albans, Welwyn Garden City, Hatfield and Hitchin, with many villages between them. Most of the county lies within the Metropolitan Green Belt and the Chilterns National Landscape covers the west, so grey belt, previously developed land and infill sites are especially important. Larger growth is usually planned as urban extensions and new communities through local plans.
What usually makes or breaks it
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, 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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 91 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Infill plots in Bushey: common questions
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 Bushey 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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Bushey assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
