The redundant buildings that interests us around Carmarthen
We are interested in buildings around Carmarthen that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. As the county town of Dyfed, Carmarthen anchors the area we cover here, along with Burry Port, Llanelli and Ammanford.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
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.
Before we make an offer in Carmarthen
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
Building condition
Structure, layout and light decide whether conversion makes sense.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
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 112 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
