Strategic land wanted in Burry Port
We want to hear from owners of strategic land in Burry Port. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Strategic land is a larger site, usually for 50 or more homes, that is brought forward over several years through the Local Development Plan or a major application. We look at strategic land across England and Wales, usually under an option agreement or joint venture.

Is your land in Burry Port the kind we want?
Larger landholdings on the approaches to Burry Port are where strategic land usually comes from, particularly near transport links. Burry Port is in Dyfed, about 12 miles south of Carmarthen. Nearby places include Llanelli, Gorseinon and Pontarddulais.
- Land for 50 or more homes next to a town or larger village
- Sites that could form part of a Local Development Plan allocation
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
Housing growth in Dyfed is planned through Local Development Plans, with land submitted at the candidate site stage. Llanelli, Carmarthen and the Haven towns see most demand, while flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the Loughor estuary, the coast and river valleys such as the Tywi.

Local Development Plan timing
Strategic sites usually move with the plan cycle, so we look at where the council is in its review.
Infrastructure
Schools, roads, drainage and power capacity shape what a large site must provide.
Promotion costs
Technical studies and plan representations cost money; under an option we pay them up front, and any recovery from the price is capped in the heads of terms.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 116 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Do I need to do anything while the land is promoted?
Usually very little beyond signing representations and allowing surveys. You normally keep using the land.
What if my neighbours own part of the best site?
We can help bring owners together under an equalisation arrangement so value is shared fairly, whoever ends up with the roads or open space.

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 116 miles from Burry Port, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Burry Port assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
