What brownfield land we want near Ystradgynlais
Brownfield land in Ystradgynlais tends to be well located for homes; the questions are usually about contamination, demolition and neighbours. Ystradgynlais lies about 35 miles south-west of Llandrindod Wells in Powys. We also cover Ystalyfera, Neath, Clydach and the villages between them.
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.
What decides whether a site in Ystradgynlais works
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 94 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
