Residential development land wanted in Brecon
Development Land Wanted buys residential development land in Brecon and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
Residential development land means a site with a credible route to new homes. Planning permission is not essential: much of the land we want has none yet. What matters is location, access and whether local policy could support housing in the next few years.

Is your land in Brecon the kind we want?
Around Brecon, the residential land that tends to work is close to existing homes, shops and transport rather than out on its own. Brecon lies about 20 miles south of Llandrindod Wells in Powys. We also cover Brynmawr, Tredegar, Rhymney and the villages between them.
- 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
- Single plots, small sites, medium sites and larger strategic land
- Freehold land where the owner (or all the owners) can sell
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.
What decides whether a site in Brecon works
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.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 75 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
How small a site do you consider?
We look at single building plots as well as larger sites. Small sites can be very worthwhile, particularly infill land within towns and villages.
Will you tell me if you think the land is not suitable?
Yes. If we think the site has no realistic route to homes we will say so and, where we can, explain why.
