Small sites wanted in Brixham
We want to hear from owners of small sites in Brixham. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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 Brixham
Small sites in and around Brixham are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Brixham lies about 23 miles south of Exeter in Devon. We also cover Paignton, Torquay, Newton Abbot and the villages between them.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
Devon has no Green Belt, but Dartmoor and part of Exmoor National Parks and the East Devon, North Devon, South Devon, Blackdown Hills and Tamar Valley National Landscapes cover a large share of the county. Growth focuses on Exeter, Plymouth, Torbay and the market towns, with many villages beyond. Edge-of-town greenfield land, farm buildings and smaller infill plots are the usual sources of new housing sites.
What usually makes or breaks it
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
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.
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 164 miles from Brixham, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Why do larger developers ignore small sites?
Large builders tend to focus on bigger schemes that suit their overheads. Small sites need a different approach, which is why we actively look for them.
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.
Is Brixham too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 164 miles from Brixham, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Brixham?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
