The residential development land that interests us around Haverfordwest
Around Haverfordwest, the residential land that tends to work is close to existing homes, shops and transport rather than out on its own. Sitting about 29 miles west of Carmarthen, Haverfordwest is within Dyfed, with Milford Haven and Pembroke Dock close by.
- Sites with a road frontage or a clear route to one
- Land outside the highest flood risk zones, or where flood risk only affects part of the site
- Sites with or without planning permission, including land promoted in a Local Development Plan
- Single plots, small sites, medium sites and larger strategic land
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 usually makes or breaks it
Settlement boundary
Land inside or touching a defined settlement usually has a clearer policy route than isolated land.
Flood risk
We check the official flood maps early; land in the highest-risk zones is rarely suitable for homes.
Utilities and drainage
Foul and surface water drainage, and power capacity, affect cost and timing more than most owners expect.
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 140 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
