Infill plots wanted in Selby
We want to hear from owners of infill plots in Selby. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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 Selby the kind we want?
We look for infill plots across Selby and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. Selby lies about 41 miles south of Northallerton in North Yorkshire. We also cover Goole, Pontefract, York and the villages between them.
- Gaps in a street frontage between houses or other buildings
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Teesside has substantial former industrial land and regeneration areas, while flooding from the Ouse, Foss and Derwent affects York, Selby and nearby villages. The A1(M) and East Coast Main Line corridor through Northallerton and Thirsk, and the Harrogate to York rail line, attract steady interest in housing land.
What decides whether a site in Selby works
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
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.
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 92 miles from Selby, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in North Yorkshire
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.
Is Selby too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 92 miles from Selby, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Selby?
As Selby 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.
