Small sites wanted in Amersham
We are actively looking for small sites in Amersham and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
A small site is usually land for fewer than ten homes, such as a corner plot, a side garden or a small field. Larger housebuilders often overlook them, but small sites are exactly the kind of land we want across England and Wales.

Small sites we are looking for in Amersham
Small sites in and around Amersham are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. In Buckinghamshire, Amersham sits about 13 miles south-east of Aylesbury; Chesham and Chalfont Saint Peter are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
The planned East West Rail route and the existing lines into Marylebone and Euston shape where growth is directed in Buckinghamshire. Village infill plots, redundant farm buildings and garden land are frequent in the rural parishes, while Milton Keynes and Aylesbury attract larger edge-of-town and regeneration sites.
What decides whether a site in Amersham works
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Affordable housing thresholds
In England affordable housing is usually only sought on schemes of ten or more homes; in Wales many councils seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes a single home.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
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 82 miles from Amersham, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Buckinghamshire
Do small sites need affordable housing?
In England, affordable housing is generally sought on major development of ten or more homes, though some rural areas set lower thresholds. In Wales, many Local Development Plans seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes from a single home.
Can you buy a single building plot?
Yes. Single plots, with or without consent, are part of what we buy.
Is Amersham too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 82 miles from Amersham, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Amersham 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.
