If you own small sites in or around Redruth, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
Small sites are plots for roughly one to nine homes. They are quicker to plan and build than large schemes and national policy encourages councils to bring more of them forward. We buy small sites with or without planning.

The small sites that interests us around Redruth
Small sites in and around Redruth are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Redruth lies about 8 miles west of Truro in Cornwall. We also cover Camborne, Truro, Falmouth and the villages between them.
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
Cornwall has no Green Belt, but landscape designation is extensive: the Cornwall National Landscape covers large stretches of coast and countryside, alongside the Tamar Valley and Isles of Scilly National Landscapes. Settlements are dispersed, from Truro, Camborne, Redruth and St Austell to many small coastal and inland villages. Sites coming forward are often edge-of-settlement fields, farm buildings, former mining and china clay land, and rural exception sites for local needs.
Before we make an offer in Redruth
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
BNG (England)
From 6 August 2026 non-major sites of 0.2 ha or less are generally exempt from mandatory BNG unless priority habitat is affected.
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.
Cornwall has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Redruth are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 215 miles from Redruth, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
