Wanted in Burry Port

Development land wanted in Burry Port

Development Land Wanted buys land of every size in Burry Port and the villages nearby.

Burry Port is in Dyfed, about 12 miles south of Carmarthen. Nearby places include Llanelli, Gorseinon and Pontarddulais. Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 116 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Dyfed covers west and south-west Wales, from Llanelli and the Amman valley to Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest and the Milford Haven waterway. There is no green belt, but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park are major constraints. Phosphate limits in the Teifi and Cleddau river catchments have slowed some housing schemes, and sites often come forward as edge-of-town land, village infill and farm buildings.

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.

Commercial and industrial sites

In Burry Port, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land.
