Wanted in Ystradgynlais

Development land wanted in Ystradgynlais

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

Ystradgynlais lies about 35 miles south-west of Llandrindod Wells in Powys. We also cover Ystalyfera, Neath, Clydach and the villages between them. Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 94 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Powys is a large and sparsely populated county with market towns such as Newtown, Welshpool, Brecon, Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Ystradgynlais and many small villages. There is no green belt, and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park covers much of the south. Phosphate limits in the Wye and Usk river catchments have restricted new housing in large parts of the county, making drainage the first question for many sites.

Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
