Allocated and promoted land wanted in Aberdare
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Aberdare and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
If your land is allocated in a plan, or you have submitted it to a candidate site process, the council has already started considering it for development. We can buy allocated land or take it forward through promotion and an application.

Is your land in Aberdare the kind we want?
We are interested in land around Aberdare at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Aberdare lies about 15 miles north of Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan. We also cover Hirwaun, Mountain Ash, Ferndale and the villages between them.
- Sites submitted to a candidate site process (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
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.
What decides whether a site in Aberdare works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 87 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Mid Glamorgan
My land is in a candidate site process. Does that mean it will be allocated?
No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.
My land was under an option that expired. Can you take over?
Yes, if the earlier agreement has properly ended. We will want to see it to confirm there is no continuing exclusivity.
Do you buy allocated and promoted land in Aberdare?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Aberdare and throughout Mid Glamorgan, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Can an agent introduce land in Aberdare 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.
