Checks we make on allocated and promoted land in Cardiff
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 92 miles from Cardiff, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

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.

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 92 miles from Cardiff, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Cardiff assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
