The farmland and paddocks that interests us around Builth Wells
Fields that wrap around the edges of Builth Wells and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. Builth Wells lies about 6 miles south of Llandrindod Wells in Powys. We also cover Llandrindod Wells, Brecon, Newtown 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
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
Welsh planning policy seeks a net benefit for biodiversity rather than using England's statutory biodiversity net gain metric, so ecology is assessed differently on Welsh sites.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 69 miles from Builth Wells, 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.
How much land do you need?
Anything from a single paddock to larger holdings. Smaller parcels next to villages can be very suitable.
Is Builth Wells too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 69 miles from Builth Wells, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Builth Wells?
As Builth Wells 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.
