A small site is usually land for fewer than ten homes, such as a corner plot, a side garden or a small field. Larger housebuilders often overlook them, but small sites are exactly the kind of land we want across England and Wales.

Small sites we are looking for in Aberystwyth
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Aberystwyth, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. In Dyfed, Aberystwyth sits about 40 miles north of Carmarthen; Llandrindod Wells and Newtown are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
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 decides whether a site in Aberystwyth works
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Affordable housing thresholds
In England affordable housing is usually only sought on schemes of ten or more homes; in Wales many councils seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes a single home.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 92 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
How quickly can you give a view?
For a small site with a clear plan and photos, we can usually say quickly whether it is worth pursuing and how.
Can you buy a single building plot?
Yes. Single plots, with or without consent, are part of what we buy.
How quickly can you look at a site in Aberystwyth?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Aberystwyth?
As Aberystwyth 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.
