Is your land in Ystalyfera the kind we want?
Sites on the edge of Ystalyfera or the villages nearby can be worth a conversation, especially where they are well connected by road and bus or rail. In West Glamorgan, Ystalyfera sits about 12 miles north-east of Swansea; Ystradgynlais and Neath are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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
Regeneration around Swansea city centre, the waterfront and the Tawe and Neath valleys is a focus for new homes, alongside economic change around Port Talbot. The M4 corridor and the South Wales Main Line link the main towns, and coal mining legacy checks are common in the valleys.
Checks we make on residential development land in Ystalyfera
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 96 miles from Ystalyfera, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Can I sell part of my land and keep the rest?
Often, yes. We can look at selling an agreed area, with access and boundaries set out so the land you keep is not left landlocked.
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.
Is Ystalyfera too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 96 miles from Ystalyfera, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Ystalyfera to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
