Sites with lapsed or refused planning we are looking for in Barry
If a scheme near Barry was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. Barry lies about 7 miles south-west of Cardiff in South Glamorgan. We also cover Rhoose, Penarth, Cardiff and the villages between them.

- Withdrawn applications
- Land with an old permission that was never started
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
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.
Before we make an offer in Barry
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.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 99 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Is Barry too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 99 miles from Barry, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Barry to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
