The brownfield land that interests us around Ammanford
In Ammanford, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Ammanford lies about 14 miles east of Carmarthen in Dyfed. We also cover Pontarddulais, Clydach, Gorseinon and the villages between them.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Dyfed covers west and south-west Wales, from Llanelli and the Amman valley to Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest and the Milford Haven waterway. There is no green belt, but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park are major constraints. Phosphate limits in the Teifi and Cleddau river catchments have slowed some housing schemes, and sites often come forward as edge-of-town land, village infill and farm buildings.
Checks we make on brownfield land in Ammanford
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
Employment land policy
Some councils protect employment land; we check whether a change to housing would be resisted.
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 102 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Ammanford ask
Is brownfield land easier to get planning on?
National policy in England and Wales supports making good use of previously developed land, but each site still needs to meet local policies.
My site is still let to a tenant. Is that a problem?
It can be managed. Tell us about the lease terms and any break dates and we will factor them into the timing.
Can an agent introduce land in Ammanford to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Ammanford assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
