Garden and backland plots we are looking for in Llantwit Major
In parts of Llantwit Major with long gardens or rear lanes, backland plots can work well if the access is wide enough and neighbours are treated fairly. Sitting about 14 miles west of Cardiff, Llantwit Major is within South Glamorgan, with Rhoose and Bridgend close by.
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Land behind houses with an existing drive or gap for access
- Plots where the owner wants to keep their house
- Sites with or without previous applications
Cardiff is a major focus for new homes in Wales, with regeneration around Cardiff Bay, the city centre and stations on the South Wales Metro. The Glamorgan Heritage Coast, conservation areas and the airport at Rhoose shape what is suitable in the rural Vale.
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.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 103 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in South Glamorgan
Will selling part of my garden affect my house value?
It can, and the effect varies. We plan the boundary and access to protect your home, and you should take independent advice on the overall position.
What if my mortgage lender says no?
Lenders usually agree where the sale reduces the debt or the remaining security is adequate. We build time for this into the process.
How quickly can you look at a site in Llantwit Major?
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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Llantwit Major?
As Llantwit Major 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.
