Small sites wanted in Neath
Looking to sell small sites near Neath? We assess every site on its merits and explain the options in plain English.

What small sites we want near Neath
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Neath, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. Neath lies about 7 miles north-east of Swansea in West Glamorgan. We also cover Briton Ferry, Clydach, Swansea and the villages between them.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
Regeneration around Swansea city centre, the waterfront and the Tawe and Neath valleys is a focus for new homes, alongside economic change around Port Talbot. The M4 corridor and the South Wales Main Line link the main towns, and coal mining legacy checks are common in the valleys.
Checks we make on small sites in Neath
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.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 101 miles from Neath, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
