Development land wanted in Pencoed
Development Land Wanted buys land of every size in Pencoed and the villages nearby.
Pencoed lies about 4 miles east of Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan. We also cover Bridgend, Aberkenfig, Tonyrefail and the villages between them. Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 98 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.
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.

Your questions answered
Can an agent introduce land in Pencoed to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
How quickly can you look at a site in Pencoed?
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Pencoed?
As Pencoed is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
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.
