Infill plots wanted in Leatherhead
We are actively looking for infill plots in Leatherhead and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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 Leatherhead the kind we want?
We look for infill plots across Leatherhead and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road. Leatherhead lies about 11 miles east of Guildford in Surrey. We also cover Epsom, Cobham, Dorking and the villages between them.
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
Heathland protection in the west of the county means many schemes contribute to mitigation for the Thames Basin Heaths, and flood risk from the Thames and Mole affects riverside towns. Stations on the lines into Waterloo and Victoria matter, as English planning policy now gives weight to locations near well-connected stations.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
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 109 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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 Leatherhead too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 109 miles from Leatherhead, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Leatherhead 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.
