The small sites that interests us around Pembroke Dock
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Pembroke Dock, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. In Dyfed, Pembroke Dock sits about 29 miles west of Carmarthen; Pembroke and Milford Haven are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
Housing growth in Dyfed is planned through Local Development Plans, with land submitted at the candidate site stage. Llanelli, Carmarthen and the Haven towns see most demand, while flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the Loughor estuary, the coast and river valleys such as the Tywi.
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.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 142 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
Do small sites need affordable housing?
In England, affordable housing is generally sought on major development of ten or more homes, though some rural areas set lower thresholds. In Wales, many Local Development Plans seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes from a single home.
Is Pembroke Dock too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 142 miles from Pembroke Dock, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Pembroke Dock?
As Pembroke Dock 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.
