Small sites we are looking for in Blaydon
Small sites in and around Blaydon are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Blaydon is in Tyne and Wear, about 4 miles west of Newcastle upon Tyne. Nearby places include Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Prudhoe.
- 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
Tyne and Wear centres on Newcastle upon Tyne, Gateshead and Sunderland, with South Shields, North Shields, Tynemouth, Whitley Bay, Washington and Jarrow. Green Belt surrounds the conurbation and separates its towns, so most housing comes from previously developed land, former shipyard and industrial sites, and town-centre regeneration. Grey belt and small fringe sites around villages can also come forward.
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.
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 167 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Small sites in Blaydon: common questions
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.
How quickly can you give a view?
For a small site with a clear plan and photos, we can usually say quickly whether it is worth pursuing and how.
Is Blaydon too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 167 miles from Blaydon, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Blaydon?
