The allocated and promoted land that interests us around Tonyrefail
Around Tonyrefail, allocated sites and land put forward to the council are usually the furthest along, so they can often move faster than land at an earlier stage. Tonyrefail lies about 8 miles north-east of Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan. We also cover Tonypandy, Beddau, Llantrisant and the villages between them.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Mid Glamorgan covers the South Wales valleys of the Rhondda, Cynon, Taff and Merthyr, along with Bridgend, Pontypridd, Maesteg and Porthcawl. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the northern uplands fall within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Former colliery and industrial land, terraced-street infill and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing sites, with coal mining legacy and steep slopes common checks.
Before we make an offer in Tonyrefail
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 93 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.

Do you buy allocated and promoted land in Tonyrefail?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Tonyrefail 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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Tonyrefail?
As Tonyrefail 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.
