Land without planning permission wanted in Burry Port
We want to hear from owners of land without planning permission in Burry Port. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Having no planning permission does not rule land out. Many good development sites start as fields or yards with no consent. We look at local policy, access and constraints, then explain the options, including deals where we take on the planning work.

Land without planning permission we are looking for in Burry Port
Near Burry Port, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan. Burry Port is in Dyfed, about 12 miles south of Carmarthen. Nearby places include Llanelli, Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.
- 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
Dyfed covers west and south-west Wales, from Llanelli and the Amman valley to Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest and the Milford Haven waterway. There is no green belt, but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park are major constraints. Phosphate limits in the Teifi and Cleddau river catchments have slowed some housing schemes, and sites often come forward as edge-of-town land, village infill and farm buildings.
What decides whether a site in Burry Port works
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Timescale
Getting permission can take months or years; we are honest about that from the start.
Access and highways
Without a safe access, even well-located land is unlikely to get consent.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 116 miles from Burry Port, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
Do you buy land with no planning outright?
Sometimes. If we are confident about the planning route we can buy outright, which gives you certainty sooner but reflects the risk we take on.
Which planning rules apply to land in Burry Port?
As Burry Port 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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Burry Port assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
