What land without planning permission we want near Builth Wells
Near Builth Wells, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan. Sitting about 6 miles south of Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells is within Powys, with Llandrindod Wells and Brecon close by.

- 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
- Sites with a road frontage or a realistic access
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.

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.
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.

How quickly can you look at a site in Builth Wells?
