South Glamorgan covers Cardiff and the rural Vale to the west, including Barry, Penarth, Llantwit Major and Rhoose. Green wedges protect open land around Cardiff, and Future Wales anticipates a green belt for the wider region once a regional plan sets its boundary. Typical sites include brownfield and former industrial land in Cardiff, edge-of-town fields around Barry and the Vale villages, and infill plots, with coastal and river flood risk assessed under TAN 15.
What decides whether a site in Llantwit Major works
Structure
Conversion routes usually require the building to be capable of conversion without substantial rebuilding.
Protected landscapes
National Parks and National Landscapes can restrict permitted development and design.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 103 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
