Wanted in Pontarddulais

Development land wanted in Pontarddulais

We are looking for development land in and around Pontarddulais: plots, fields, brownfield sites and buildings.

In West Glamorgan, Pontarddulais sits about 8 miles north-west of Swansea; Gorseinon and Llanelli are its nearest neighbours on our list. Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 107 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

West Glamorgan covers Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot and their valleys, including Gorseinon, Pontarddulais, Clydach, Ystalyfera and Briton Ferry. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the Gower National Landscape covers much of the peninsula west of Swansea. Former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-settlement fields and infill plots are typical sources of housing land, with coastal and river flood risk assessed under TAN 15.

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.
