We are actively looking for infill plots in Kenilworth and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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.

What infill plots we want near Kenilworth
Infill gaps in Kenilworth's established streets can be among the easiest small sites to bring forward when the design respects the neighbours. Kenilworth is in Warwickshire, about 5 miles north of Warwick. Nearby places include Warwick, Coventry and Leamington Spa.
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Plots large enough for one or more homes with parking
- Land with or without an earlier planning history
The M40, M6 and M69 corridors and the Chiltern Main Line through Warwick and Leamington Spa attract interest, along with land near the High Speed 2 route. The south of the county has many conservation-area villages, so heritage and design are often important considerations for small sites.
Before we make an offer in Kenilworth
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.
In England, the revised National Planning Policy Framework published on 17 August 2026 replaced the old "tilted balance" with new settlement policies: development within a settlement should normally be approved unless the harm substantially outweighs the benefits, while land outside a settlement can gain support in defined circumstances.
Parts of Warwickshire 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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 19 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Kenilworth ask
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.
Can an agent introduce land in Kenilworth 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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Kenilworth?
As Kenilworth 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.
