Allocated and promoted land wanted in West Glamorgan
We want to hear from owners of allocated and promoted land in West Glamorgan. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Land that has been allocated or put forward to the council is often the most advanced land a private owner holds. We look at the allocation policy, the evidence the council expects and the route to an application.

Is your land in West Glamorgan the kind we want?
West Glamorgan covers Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot and their valleys, including Gorseinon, Pontarddulais, Clydach, Ystalyfera and Briton Ferry. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the Gower National Landscape covers much of the peninsula west of Swansea. Former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-settlement fields and infill plots are typical sources of housing land, with coastal and river flood risk assessed under TAN 15.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Regeneration around Swansea city centre, the waterfront and the Tawe and Neath valleys is a focus for new homes, alongside economic change around Port Talbot. The M4 corridor and the South Wales Main Line link the main towns, and coal mining legacy checks are common in the valleys.
What decides whether a site in West Glamorgan works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.

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 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.
Do you buy allocated and promoted land in West Glamorgan?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in West Glamorgan and throughout West Glamorgan, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
How quickly can you look at a site in West Glamorgan?
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.
