The land without planning permission that interests us around Rhoose
For land on the edges of Rhoose with no consent yet, the first questions are access, flood risk and how the council's current plan treats the area. Rhoose is in South Glamorgan, about 10 miles south-west of Cardiff. Nearby places include Barry, Llantwit Major and Penarth.
- 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
South Glamorgan covers Cardiff and the rural Vale to the west, including Barry, Penarth, Llantwit Major and Rhoose. Green wedges protect open land around Cardiff, and Future Wales anticipates a green belt for the wider region once a regional plan sets its boundary. Typical sites include brownfield and former industrial land in Cardiff, edge-of-town fields around Barry and the Vale villages, and infill plots, with coastal and river flood risk assessed under TAN 15.
Checks we make on land without planning permission in Rhoose
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Who pays for planning
Applications, surveys and reports cost money; on conditional and option deals we normally pay for them up front, and any costs deducted from the price are agreed and capped.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 101 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Yes. We buy land without planning permission in Rhoose and throughout South Glamorgan, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
