What land without planning permission we want near Aberystwyth
Near Aberystwyth, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan. Sitting about 40 miles north of Carmarthen, Aberystwyth is within Dyfed, with Llandrindod Wells and Newtown close by.
- Land the owner has put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Land where a previous application was refused for reasons that could be overcome
- Sites with a road frontage or a realistic access
- Land of any size, including single plots
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 decides whether a site in Aberystwyth works
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Who pays for planning
Applications, surveys and reports cost money; on conditional and option deals we normally pay for them up front, and any costs deducted from the price are agreed and capped.
Access and highways
Without a safe access, even well-located land is unlikely to get consent.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 92 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Dyfed
Who pays for the planning application?
On a subject-to-planning contract or an option agreement, we normally pay for the application and the reports that go with it. Under an option, agreed costs may later be deducted from the price; any deduction is capped and set out in the heads of terms.
