Residential development land we are looking for in Milford Haven
Around Milford Haven, the residential land that tends to work is close to existing homes, shops and transport rather than out on its own. Sitting about 33 miles west of Carmarthen, Milford Haven is within Dyfed, with Pembroke Dock and Pembroke 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
Dyfed covers west and south-west Wales, from Llanelli and the Amman valley to Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest and the Milford Haven waterway. There is no green belt, but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park are major constraints. Phosphate limits in the Teifi and Cleddau river catchments have slowed some housing schemes, and sites often come forward as edge-of-town land, village infill and farm buildings.
What usually makes or breaks it
Settlement boundary
Land inside or touching a defined settlement usually has a clearer policy route than isolated land.
Access
A safe vehicle access with adequate visibility is often the single biggest make-or-break item.
Utilities and drainage
Foul and surface water drainage, and power capacity, affect cost and timing more than most owners expect.
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.
