The land without planning permission that interests us around Beddau
For land on the edges of Beddau with no consent yet, the first questions are access, flood risk and how the council's current plan treats the area. In Mid Glamorgan, Beddau sits about 10 miles east of Bridgend; Llantrisant and Pontypridd are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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 of any size, including single plots
Mid Glamorgan covers the South Wales valleys of the Rhondda, Cynon, Taff and Merthyr, along with Bridgend, Pontypridd, Maesteg and Porthcawl. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the northern uplands fall within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Former colliery and industrial land, terraced-street infill and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing sites, with coal mining legacy and steep slopes common checks.

Who pays for the planning application?

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.
