The small sites that interests us around Llanelli
Small sites in and around Llanelli are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Llanelli lies about 13 miles south-east of Carmarthen in Dyfed. We also cover Burry Port, Gorseinon, Pontarddulais and the villages between them.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Garage blocks and small yards
- 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 usually makes or breaks it
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.
The Planning (Wales) Act 2026 received Royal Assent on 27 April 2026 and is being brought into force in stages, consolidating Welsh planning law into a single Welsh framework.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 113 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Small sites in Llanelli: common questions
Why do larger developers ignore small sites?
Large builders tend to focus on bigger schemes that suit their overheads. Small sites need a different approach, which is why we actively look for them.
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.
Is Llanelli too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 113 miles from Llanelli, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Llanelli?
As Llanelli 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.
