Brownfield land we are looking for in Briton Ferry
In Briton Ferry, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Briton Ferry lies about 5 miles east of Swansea in West Glamorgan. We also cover Neath, Clydach, Swansea 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
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 Briton Ferry works
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.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 103 miles from Briton Ferry, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Will contamination stop a sale?
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.
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 Briton Ferry 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 Briton Ferry assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
