Small sites wanted in Pembroke
Development Land Wanted buys small sites in Pembroke and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
If your land could take a few homes rather than a few hundred, it is a small site. These plots are central to what we buy, and we can usually give a quick view on whether one is worth pursuing.

What small sites we want near Pembroke
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Pembroke, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. Sitting about 29 miles south-west of Carmarthen, Pembroke is within Dyfed, with Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven close by.
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- 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
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.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
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 141 miles from Pembroke, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Pembroke ask
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.
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 Pembroke?
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 Pembroke?
As Pembroke 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.
