Infill plots wanted in Dover
Development Land Wanted buys infill plots in Dover and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
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.

Infill plots we are looking for in Dover
We look for infill plots across Dover and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. In Kent, Dover sits about 36 miles east of Maidstone; Folkestone and Deal are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
Nutrient neutrality advice has affected the Stour catchment around Canterbury and Ashford because of the protected Stodmarsh wetlands. High Speed 1 stations and the M2, M20 and A2 corridors are a focus for growth, while coastal flood risk matters on the Thames and Swale estuaries and Romney Marsh.
What decides whether a site in Dover works
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 169 miles from Dover, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Dover 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.
