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

Norfolk is largely rural, with Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King's Lynn and Thetford and market towns such as Dereham, Diss, North Walsham and Downham Market. There is no Green Belt, but the Norfolk Coast National Landscape and the Broads cover sensitive areas. Nutrient neutrality advice has affected much of the county because of protected sites including the Broads and the River Wensum, so drainage is often a key issue for village and edge-of-town sites.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
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 153 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
