Infill plots wanted in Freshwater
We want to hear from owners of infill plots in Freshwater. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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.

Infill plots we are looking for in Freshwater
We look for infill plots across Freshwater and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. On the Isle of Wight, Freshwater sits about 10 miles west of Newport; New Milton and Newport are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
The Isle of Wight has no Green Belt, but the Isle of Wight National Landscape covers much of the coast and downland. Housing is concentrated around Newport, Ryde, Cowes and East Cowes, Sandown and Shanklin, with many villages elsewhere. Typical sites are edge-of-town fields, infill plots, former holiday or commercial premises and farm buildings, with coastal change and ground instability relevant on parts of the coast.
Before we make an offer in Freshwater
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.
Services
Connections for drainage, water and power need to be reachable.
Where an English council cannot show a five-year supply of housing land, or its Housing Delivery Test result falls below 75%, the August 2026 NPPF can give policy support to suitable housing outside settlement boundaries.
The Isle of Wight has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Freshwater are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 130 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
Will my neighbours be consulted?
Yes. The council consults neighbours on planning applications, and their comments are considered alongside policy.
How quickly can you look at a site in Freshwater?
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 Freshwater assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
