The allocated and promoted land that interests us around Powys
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.
- 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
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.
What usually makes or breaks it
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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.
The Planning (Wales) Act 2026 received Royal Assent on 27 April 2026 and is being brought into force in stages, consolidating Welsh planning law into a single Welsh framework.

Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.

For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
