"lot" is a piece of land on which a house will be... (or has been) built
To my ear, at least, a "lot" is a piece of land on which a house will be or has been built. A "plot" is a piece of land, which might be used in different ways. "Plot" is more general than "lot."

"a lot" is used when refering to a piece of land that is usually used to build a house or some other building on. For instance, at the end of my block there is a vacant lot (a place where a house could go but where there is nothing built yet). A plot of land usually refers to something bigger, like a ranch or farm. For instance, "the rancher owns that plot of land". There is a subtle difference, namely, a plot is bigger than a lot.
!A lot may be a plot; but a plot might not be a lot. That might not be saying much, but it would be a lot about a lot."

Lot is never used in the UK. As far as I am aware the terms have the same meaning for all practical purposes.
