Residential development land wanted in Rhoose
We want to hear from owners of residential development land in Rhoose. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Residential development land is any site where new homes could reasonably be built, whether it already has planning permission or not. We look at land of every size across England and Wales and give owners a straight answer on whether housing is realistic.

Is your land in Rhoose the kind we want?
In and around Rhoose we are interested in land that sits naturally alongside existing streets, where new homes would read as part of the place. Sitting about 10 miles south-west of Cardiff, Rhoose is within South Glamorgan, with Barry and Llantwit Major close by.
- Land next to or within an existing town, village or suburb
- 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
- Freehold land where the owner (or all the owners) can sell
South Glamorgan covers Cardiff and the rural Vale to the west, including Barry, Penarth, Llantwit Major and Rhoose. Green wedges protect open land around Cardiff, and Future Wales anticipates a green belt for the wider region once a regional plan sets its boundary. Typical sites include brownfield and former industrial land in Cardiff, edge-of-town fields around Barry and the Vale villages, and infill plots, with coastal and river flood risk assessed under TAN 15.
What decides whether a site in Rhoose works
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.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 101 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Rhoose ask
Does my land need planning permission before you will look at it?
No. Most residential land we are asked about has no planning yet. We look at policy, access and constraints and tell you whether we think a permission is realistic, and which way of selling suits the risk.
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.
Do you buy residential development land in Rhoose?
Yes. We buy residential development land in Rhoose and throughout South Glamorgan, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Which planning rules apply to land in Rhoose?
As Rhoose is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
