In short: Small plots can be garden land, infill sites, paddocks or woodland. Their value depends mostly on planning: land with permission is worth far more than land without. Check access, services, covenants and flood risk. Be wary of "land banking" schemes that sell small plots of farmland with vague promises of future planning; many never gain permission. Fraser Bond can value plots and help you check their potential.
