The small sites that interests us around Erith
Small sites in and around Erith are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. In Greater London, Erith sits about 13 miles east of central London; Rainham and Dartford are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
London planning is shaped by both the London Plan and borough plans, with higher densities expected near stations and town centres. Small sites, including garden land, yards and redundant commercial premises close to Underground, Overground, Elizabeth line or national rail stations, are the most common route to new homes in the outer areas.
