The garden and backland plots that interests us around Burry Port
In parts of Burry Port with long gardens or rear lanes, backland plots can work well if the access is wide enough and neighbours are treated fairly. In Dyfed, Burry Port sits about 12 miles south of Carmarthen; Llanelli and Gorseinon are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Land behind houses with an existing drive or gap for access
- Paddocks and orchards behind homes on the edge of a village
- Sites with or without previous applications
Housing growth in Dyfed is planned through Local Development Plans, with land submitted at the candidate site stage. Llanelli, Carmarthen and the Haven towns see most demand, while flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the Loughor estuary, the coast and river valleys such as the Tywi.
What usually makes or breaks it
Access width
The drive or road into the plot must be safe for cars, bins and emergency vehicles.
Overlooking
New homes must sit far enough from existing homes to protect privacy.
Your own property
Selling garden land changes your home, so we plan boundaries and access carefully.
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 116 miles from Burry Port, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Dyfed
Do I pay tax on selling garden land?
Tax depends on your circumstances, including how much land you have and how it has been used. Speak to a tax adviser before you agree terms.

Which planning rules apply to land in Burry Port?
