Development land wanted in Aberystwyth
We are looking for development land in and around Aberystwyth: plots, fields, brownfield sites and buildings.
Aberystwyth is in Dyfed, about 40 miles north of Carmarthen. Nearby places include Llandrindod Wells, Newtown and Builth Wells. Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 92 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
Housing growth in Dyfed is planned through Local Development Plans, with land submitted at the candidate site stage. Llanelli, Carmarthen and the Haven towns see most demand, while flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the Loughor estuary, the coast and river valleys such as the Tywi.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
