The farmland and paddocks that interests us around Pontypridd
We are looking for farmland near Pontypridd with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the Local Development Plan. Pontypridd is in Mid Glamorgan, about 12 miles north-east of Bridgend. Nearby places include Beddau, Tonyrefail and Nelson.

- Land put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
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 Pontypridd
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 89 miles from Pontypridd, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
