Small sites wanted in Treharris
We want to hear from owners of small sites in Treharris. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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.

The small sites that interests us around Treharris
In Treharris, small sites are often the leftover pieces: a side garden, an old garage block or a gap where a building once stood. In Mid Glamorgan, Treharris sits about 16 miles north-east of Bridgend; Nelson and Gelligaer are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- 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.
Checks we make on small sites in Treharris
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.
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 85 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
