Small sites wanted in Clydach
If you own small sites in or around Clydach, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
Small sites are plots for roughly one to nine homes. They are quicker to plan and build than large schemes and national policy encourages councils to bring more of them forward. We buy small sites with or without planning.

Is your land in Clydach the kind we want?
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Clydach, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. Clydach lies about 5 miles north-east of Swansea in West Glamorgan. We also cover Neath, Swansea, Briton Ferry and the villages between them.
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
West Glamorgan covers Swansea, Neath and Port Talbot and their valleys, including Gorseinon, Pontarddulais, Clydach, Ystalyfera and Briton Ferry. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the Gower National Landscape covers much of the peninsula west of Swansea. Former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-settlement fields and infill plots are typical sources of housing land, with coastal and river flood risk assessed under TAN 15.
Checks we make on small sites in Clydach
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.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 104 miles from Clydach, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
How quickly can you give a view?
For a small site with a clear plan and photos, we can usually say quickly whether it is worth pursuing and how.

Yes. Single plots, with or without consent, are part of what we buy.
Is Clydach too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 104 miles from Clydach, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Clydach to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
