Is your land in Aberkenfig the kind we want?
In and around Aberkenfig we are interested in land that sits naturally alongside existing streets, where new homes would read as part of the place. Aberkenfig lies about 2 miles north of Bridgend in Mid Glamorgan. We also cover Bridgend, Pencoed, Pyle and the villages between them.
- 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
- Freehold land where the owner (or all the owners) can sell
The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.
What decides whether a site in Aberkenfig works
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.
Flood risk
We check the official flood maps early; land in the highest-risk zones is rarely suitable for homes.
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 100 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
