Small sites wanted in Pontarddulais
We are actively looking for small sites in Pontarddulais and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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.

Is your land in Pontarddulais the kind we want?
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Pontarddulais, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. In West Glamorgan, Pontarddulais sits about 8 miles north-west of Swansea; Gorseinon and Llanelli are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
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.
Before we make an offer in Pontarddulais
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 107 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in West Glamorgan
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.
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.
Can an agent introduce land in Pontarddulais 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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Pontarddulais?
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.
