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.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
Your involvement
You can sell now, sell subject to planning, or grant an option; each asks a different amount of you.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 89 miles from Pontypridd, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Pontypridd ask
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.
