Sites with lapsed or refused planning wanted in Milford Haven
We want to hear from owners of sites with lapsed or refused planning in Milford Haven. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A site with lapsed or refused planning has been through the system before without a build starting. That history is useful: it shows what the council liked and what it did not. We buy such sites and look at whether a revised scheme could succeed.

What sites with lapsed or refused planning we want near Milford Haven
Sites around Milford Haven with an old refusal can be worth a second look, especially where local or national policy has since changed. Sitting about 33 miles west of Carmarthen, Milford Haven is within Dyfed, with Pembroke Dock and Pembroke close by.
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Withdrawn applications
- Land with an old permission that was never started
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
Dyfed covers west and south-west Wales, from Llanelli and the Amman valley to Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest and the Milford Haven waterway. There is no green belt, but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park are major constraints. Phosphate limits in the Teifi and Cleddau river catchments have slowed some housing schemes, and sites often come forward as edge-of-town land, village infill and farm buildings.
What decides whether a site in Milford Haven works
Appeal history
An inspector's decision carries weight in future applications.
Technical work
Some refusals turn on drainage, highways or ecology evidence that can be improved.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 145 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Dyfed
My application was refused. Should I appeal or re-apply?
It depends on the reasons and time limits. Sometimes a revised application is better than an appeal. We look at the decision and say what we would do.
How do you decide if a site is worth another attempt?
We look at the reasons for refusal, any appeal, current policy and the technical evidence, then give a straight view.
