Is your land in Aberdare the kind we want?
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Aberdare, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. In Mid Glamorgan, Aberdare sits about 15 miles north of Bridgend; Hirwaun and Mountain Ash are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages

- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 87 miles from Aberdare, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
