Is your land in Clydach the kind we want?

West Glamorgan covers Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot and their valleys, including Gorseinon, Pontarddulais, Clydach, Ystalyfera and Briton Ferry. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the Gower National Landscape covers much of the peninsula west of Swansea. Former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-settlement fields and infill plots are typical sources of housing land, with coastal and river flood risk assessed under TAN 15.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Clydach
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 104 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in West Glamorgan
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.
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 quickly can you look at a site in Clydach?
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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Clydach assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
