Brownfield land we are looking for in Burry Port
Brownfield land in Burry Port tends to be well located for homes; the questions are usually about contamination, demolition and neighbours. Burry Port is in Dyfed, about 12 miles south of Carmarthen. Nearby places include Llanelli, Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Housing growth in Dyfed is planned through Local Development Plans, with land submitted at the candidate site stage. Llanelli, Carmarthen and the Haven towns see most demand, while flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the Loughor estuary, the coast and river valleys such as the Tywi.
What usually makes or breaks it
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Employment land policy
Some councils protect employment land; we check whether a change to housing would be resisted.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 116 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Not usually. It affects cost and the work needed, which we allow for. Any reports you already have help us give a firmer view sooner.

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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Burry Port?
As Burry Port is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
