What allocated and promoted land we want near Mountain Ash
We are interested in land around Mountain Ash at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. In Mid Glamorgan, Mountain Ash sits about 15 miles north-east of Bridgend; Ferndale and Treharris are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a candidate site process (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
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 Mountain Ash works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 86 miles from Mountain Ash, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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 part of an allocation?
Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.
Is Mountain Ash too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 86 miles from Mountain Ash, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Mountain Ash 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.
