An infill plot is a gap in an otherwise built-up frontage, between existing houses or buildings, where one or more new homes could fit. These small sites are often in sought-after streets and can be well suited to planning.

The infill plots that interests us around Wellington
We look for infill plots across Wellington and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. In Shropshire, Wellington sits about 10 miles east of Shrewsbury; Telford and Newport are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
Flood risk along the Severn affects Shrewsbury, Bridgnorth and riverside villages, and the M54 corridor links Telford with the West Midlands. Telford was built as a new town and still has land for regeneration, while many rural parishes plan small-scale growth through neighbourhood plans.
What decides whether a site in Wellington 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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 28 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

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.
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.
Can an agent introduce land in Wellington to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
How quickly can you look at a site in Wellington?
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.
