Infill plots wanted in Norwich
Development Land Wanted buys infill plots in Norwich 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.

The infill plots that interests us around Norwich
We look for infill plots across Norwich and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. Norwich is the county town of Norfolk. Nearby places we also cover include North Walsham, East Dereham and Great Yarmouth.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
The A11 corridor from Thetford towards Norwich and the A47 east-west route carry much planned growth, with larger sites around Norwich. Rural villages see small schemes of farm buildings, paddocks and infill plots, while flood risk in the Fens near King's Lynn and on the coast shapes what is possible.
Before we make an offer in Norwich
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
Services
Connections for drainage, water and power need to be reachable.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Norfolk has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Norwich are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.

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.
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.
Is Norwich too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 135 miles from Norwich, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Norwich assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
