Is your land in Maesteg the kind we want?

Mid Glamorgan covers the South Wales valleys of the Rhondda, Cynon, Taff and Merthyr, along with Bridgend, Pontypridd, Maesteg and Porthcawl. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the northern uplands fall within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Former colliery and industrial land, terraced-street infill and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing sites, with coal mining legacy and steep slopes common checks.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Maesteg
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
Landscape
Protected landscapes and sensitive views limit what may be 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 99 miles from Maesteg, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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 Maesteg too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 99 miles from Maesteg, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Maesteg 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.
