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.
Checks we make on commercial and industrial sites in Rhoose
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Neighbouring businesses
Homes next to noisy uses may need mitigation or may not be acceptable.
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 101 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Will the council object to losing business land?
Some councils protect employment land. Evidence that the site is no longer needed or suitable for business can help.
Do I need to market the site first?
Not to sell to us. Marketing evidence can, however, support a planning case for change of use.
Can an agent introduce land in Rhoose 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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Rhoose?
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.
