What farmland and paddocks we want near Haverfordwest
We are looking for farmland near Haverfordwest with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the Local Development Plan. Haverfordwest lies about 29 miles west of Carmarthen in Dyfed. We also cover Milford Haven, Pembroke Dock, Pembroke and the villages between them.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
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 decides whether a site in Haverfordwest works
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 140 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Farmland and paddocks in Haverfordwest: common questions
My land is let to a tenant. Can I still sell?
Usually, yes. The type of tenancy decides how and when possession can be obtained, so we look at the agreement early.
Will I lose my farm payments?
Development land may need to leave a scheme at some point. Check your agreements and take advice; we plan timing around them where we can.
Is Haverfordwest too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 140 miles from Haverfordwest, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Haverfordwest?
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.
