Farmland and paddocks wanted in Pencoed
Development Land Wanted buys farmland and paddocks in Pencoed and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
Farmland and paddocks can become development land when they sit beside a settlement that needs new homes. We look for fields on the edges of towns and villages across England and Wales and work with owners on options, conditional contracts and joint ventures.

Is your land in Pencoed the kind we want?
Fields that wrap around the edges of Pencoed and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. Pencoed lies about 4 miles east of Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan. We also cover Bridgend, Aberkenfig, Tonyrefail and the villages between them.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- Land put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.
What decides whether a site in Pencoed works
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
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 98 miles from Pencoed, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Can I keep farming while you pursue planning?
Yes. Under an option or a conditional contract the land normally stays in your hands, and in use, until completion.
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Pencoed?
As Pencoed is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Pencoed assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
