Land without planning permission wanted in Llanelli
We want to hear from owners of land without planning permission in Llanelli. 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.

Is your land in Llanelli the kind we want?
Near Llanelli, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan. Llanelli is in Dyfed, about 13 miles south-east of Carmarthen. Nearby places include Burry Port, Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- Land the owner has put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Plots within towns and villages that have never been built on
- Land where a previous application was refused for reasons that could be overcome
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.

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.
What if planning is refused?
That depends on the deal. Under a conditional contract we can usually decide whether to appeal, re-apply or walk away; if we walk away you keep your land.

Which planning rules apply to land in Llanelli?
As Llanelli 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.
