Small sites wanted in Aberkenfig
Development Land Wanted buys small sites in Aberkenfig and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
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.

What small sites we want near Aberkenfig
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Aberkenfig, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. In Mid Glamorgan, Aberkenfig sits about 2 miles north of Bridgend; Bridgend and Pencoed 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
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.
Before we make an offer in Aberkenfig
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 100 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across 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 Aberkenfig too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 100 miles from Aberkenfig, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Aberkenfig?
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.
