Development land wanted in Llanelli
Development Land Wanted buys land of every size in Llanelli and the villages nearby.
Llanelli is in Dyfed, about 13 miles south-east of Carmarthen. Nearby places include Burry Port, Gorseinon and Pontarddulais. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 113 miles from Llanelli, and we travel to see sites 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.
