Sites with lapsed or refused planning wanted in Pembroke
We want to hear from owners of sites with lapsed or refused planning in Pembroke. 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.

The sites with lapsed or refused planning that interests us around Pembroke
If a scheme near Pembroke was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. Pembroke lies about 29 miles south-west of Carmarthen in Dyfed. We also cover Pembroke Dock, Milford Haven, Haverfordwest and the villages between them.
- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Withdrawn applications
- Land with an old permission that was never started
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
Housing growth in Dyfed is planned through Local Development Plans, with land submitted at the candidate site stage. Llanelli, Carmarthen and the Haven towns see most demand, while flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the Loughor estuary, the coast and river valleys such as the Tywi.
What decides whether a site in Pembroke works
Policy changes
National and local policy may have moved since the last decision, for better or worse.
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, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 141 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Pembroke ask
Does a refusal make the land worth less?
It can affect value, but often the reasons can be addressed. Policy may also have changed since the decision.
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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Pembroke?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Pembroke assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
