Small sites wanted in Tiverton
We are actively looking for small sites in Tiverton 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.

The small sites that interests us around Tiverton
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Tiverton, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. In Devon, Tiverton sits about 12 miles north of Exeter; Exeter and Taunton 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
The A30, A38 and M5 corridors and the main line from Exeter to Plymouth carry most of Devon's planned growth, including new communities east of Exeter. In coastal towns, flood risk and coastal change can affect sites, while nutrient neutrality advice has applied in the River Axe catchment on the Dorset border.
What usually makes or breaks it
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
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.
Since 6 August 2026, non-major development on sites of 0.2 hectares or less in England has generally been exempt from mandatory biodiversity net gain, unless priority habitat is affected. That makes many small sites simpler to bring forward.
Devon has no designated Green Belt, so the main policy questions near Tiverton are usually the settlement boundary, landscape and access.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 132 miles from Tiverton, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Small sites in Tiverton: common questions
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.
Do you buy small sites in Tiverton?
Yes. We buy small sites in Tiverton and throughout Devon, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Is Tiverton too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 132 miles from Tiverton, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
