Wanted in Pembroke

Development land wanted in Pembroke

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

In Dyfed, Pembroke sits about 29 miles south-west of Carmarthen; Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven are its nearest neighbours on our list. Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 141 miles away, and we buy land throughout 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.

In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.

Land we want in Pembroke

Edge-of-town meadow with timber survey stakes and orange marker pegs, houses along the far boundary

Residential development land

In and around Pembroke we are interested in land that sits naturally alongside existing streets, where new homes would read as part of the place.

Vacant fenced development plot with a council planning notice tied to a lamp post and terraced houses beyond

Land with planning permission

If you hold a consent in or near Pembroke, send us the decision notice and the approved drawings; that is usually enough for a first view.

Land without planning permission

Near Pembroke, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan.

Brownfield land

Former works, depots and yards in and around Pembroke can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood.

Infill plots

Infill gaps in Pembroke's established streets can be among the easiest small sites to bring forward when the design respects the neighbours.

Garden and backland plots

Around Pembroke, garden land is most promising where a lane already runs behind the houses or two or three neighbours can sell together.

Farmland and paddocks

Fields that wrap around the edges of Pembroke and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about.

Strategic land

Larger landholdings on the approaches to Pembroke are where strategic land usually comes from, particularly near transport links.

Small sites

In Pembroke, small sites are often the leftover pieces: a side garden, an old garage block or a gap where a building once stood.

Vacant single-storey industrial units with grey roller shutters and an empty tarmac forecourt

Commercial and industrial sites

We look at yards and units across Pembroke where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses.

Redundant buildings

Redundant buildings in Pembroke often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites.

Barns and rural buildings

In the countryside around Pembroke, redundant barns and yards can sometimes become homes, depending on the building and the route available.

Garage courts and yards

Garage courts tucked behind homes in Pembroke are often ideal for a small number of new houses or bungalows.

Sites with lapsed or refused planning

We read the planning history of sites across Pembroke closely; a past refusal often points straight to the fix.

Development land in Pembroke: common questions

Do you buy development land in Pembroke?

Yes. We buy development land in Pembroke and throughout Dyfed, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.

Is Pembroke too far from our Birmingham base?

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 141 miles from Pembroke, and we look at land right across England and Wales.

How quickly can you look at a site in Pembroke?

For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.

How long does a sale take?

It depends on the route. An outright purchase of land with planning can move relatively quickly; land that needs planning permission takes longer. We are honest about timing for each site.

Got land that could take new homes?

Free, no-obligation site appraisal. We buy directly, with or without planning.
