A side plot, former garage site, gap in a street or unused land behind existing buildings may justify an initial residential assessment.
What makes an infill proposal credible?
Good infill is not simply about fitting a building into a gap. It needs a sensible relationship with neighbouring homes, usable access, suitable private space and a design that belongs in the street.
We initially consider
- Site dimensions, shape and ownership boundaries
- Highway access and visibility
- Neighbouring windows, gardens and levels
- Parking, servicing and refuse collection
- Trees, drainage, ecology and utilities
- Local plan policy and relevant planning history
Would one home still be of interest?
Potentially. ARM Developments is interested in considered small residential opportunities as well as sites capable of supporting more than one home. Viability depends on the planning prospects and costs, not only the number of units.
Do I need planning permission first?
No. We can review land without an existing permission. For a site we progress, the planning route and professional team would form part of the agreed next steps.
