Is your land in Staveley the kind we want?
In Staveley, small sites are often the leftover pieces: a side garden, an old garage block or a gap where a building once stood. In Derbyshire, Staveley sits about 24 miles north of Derby; Chesterfield and Dronfield are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
Much of eastern Derbyshire lies on the former coalfield, where a coal mining risk assessment is often needed before building. The M1 corridor towns such as Chesterfield, Alfreton and Ilkeston, and the Swadlincote area near Burton upon Trent, see steady demand for small and medium housing sites.
Checks we make on small sites in Staveley
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 55 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
