Garage courts and yards we are looking for in Clydach
Across Clydach, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Clydach is in West Glamorgan, about 5 miles north-east of Swansea. Nearby places include Neath, Swansea and Briton Ferry.
- Parking courts behind houses
- Small service yards and compounds
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Land with or without planning history
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.

Garage courts and yards in Clydach: common questions
Some garages are still rented. Is that a problem?
Usually not. Garage lets are often on short licences. We look at the terms and allow time to end them properly.
How many homes could fit?
It depends on the size and shape of the court and its access; small courts may take one or two homes, larger ones more.

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 104 miles from Clydach, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
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.
