The small sites that interests us around Ystradgynlais
Small sites in and around Ystradgynlais are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. In Powys, Ystradgynlais sits about 35 miles south-west of Llandrindod Wells; Ystalyfera and Neath 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
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.
What decides whether a site in Ystradgynlais works
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 94 miles from Ystradgynlais, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
