Oxfordshire combines the city of Oxford with towns such as Banbury, Bicester, Witney, Abingdon, Didcot, Carterton and Kidlington and many villages. Green Belt surrounds Oxford, and the Cotswolds, Chilterns and North Wessex Downs National Landscapes cover much of the countryside. Typical sites include edge-of-town extensions, previously developed land, farm buildings and infill plots, with grey belt now relevant on parts of the Oxford fringe.
What decides whether a site in Didcot works
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
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.
Parts of Oxfordshire are Green Belt, though not every town has any nearby. We check early whether a site is inside it and, if so, whether a grey belt or previously developed land case could apply.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 71 miles from Didcot, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Infill plots in Didcot: common questions
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 Didcot too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 71 miles from Didcot, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Didcot?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
