The strategic land that interests us around Llanelli
Around Llanelli, strategic sites tend to be the big fields between the built edge and the main roads, where a whole new neighbourhood could be planned. Llanelli lies about 13 miles south-east of Carmarthen in Dyfed. We also cover Burry Port, Gorseinon, Pontarddulais and the villages between them.
- Land near railway stations or good bus routes
- Holdings where neighbouring owners may collaborate
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
Dyfed covers west and south-west Wales, from Llanelli and the Amman valley to Carmarthen, Aberystwyth, Haverfordwest and the Milford Haven waterway. There is no green belt, but the Pembrokeshire Coast National Park and part of Bannau Brycheiniog National Park are major constraints. Phosphate limits in the Teifi and Cleddau river catchments have slowed some housing schemes, and sites often come forward as edge-of-town land, village infill and farm buildings.
What decides whether a site in Llanelli works
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.
Land assembly
Larger schemes often need several owners to agree a fair way to share value.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 113 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Dyfed
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.
Is Llanelli too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 113 miles from Llanelli, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Llanelli assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
