Infill plots wanted in Longfield
We are actively looking for infill plots in Longfield and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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.

Is your land in Longfield the kind we want?
We look for infill plots across Longfield and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. Longfield is in Kent, about 13 miles north-west of Maidstone. Nearby places include Hartley, Swanscombe and Gravesend.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Kent ranges from the Medway towns, Dartford and Gravesend on the Thames to Maidstone, Ashford, Canterbury, Tunbridge Wells and the coastal towns of Margate, Ramsgate, Folkestone and Dover. West Kent is largely Metropolitan Green Belt, while the Kent Downs and High Weald National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Sites typically include edge-of-town fields, orchards and farmland, farm buildings, infill plots and brownfield land in the towns.
What decides whether a site in Longfield 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.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
The August 2026 NPPF supports homes within reasonable walking distance (around 800 metres) of well-connected railway stations, with minimum densities of 35 homes per hectare, or 45 near higher-frequency stations.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 123 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Longfield?
As Longfield 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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Longfield assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
