Is your land in Carterton the kind we want?
In Carterton, small sites are often the leftover pieces: a side garden, an old garage block or a gap where a building once stood. Sitting about 14 miles west of Oxford, Carterton is within Oxfordshire, with Witney and Kidlington close by.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
East West Rail and the science and technology economy around Oxford, Harwell and Culham drive demand for new homes. Flood risk from the Thames and Cherwell affects Oxford and nearby villages, while Bicester and Didcot have expanded substantially through planned growth.
Before we make an offer in Carterton
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.
The Planning and Infrastructure Act 2025 introduced Environmental Delivery Plans and a Nature Restoration Levy in England, which over time may offer an alternative to site-by-site mitigation for some environmental issues.
Some land in Oxfordshire is designated Green Belt. If your land is within it, it may still qualify as grey belt or previously developed land under national policy, subject to the Golden Rules.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 56 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
