Sites with lapsed or refused planning wanted in Llantwit Major
Development Land Wanted buys sites with lapsed or refused planning in Llantwit Major and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
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.
