Strategic land wanted in Pembroke
We want to hear from owners of strategic land in Pembroke. 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 Pembroke the kind we want?
Around Pembroke, strategic sites tend to be the big fields between the built edge and the main roads, where a whole new neighbourhood could be planned. In Dyfed, Pembroke sits about 29 miles south-west of Carmarthen; Pembroke Dock and Milford Haven are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land for 50 or more homes next to a town or larger village
- Land near railway stations or good bus routes
- Holdings where neighbouring owners may collaborate
- Land with more than one possible access point
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.
What usually makes or breaks it
Local Development Plan timing
Strategic sites usually move with the plan cycle, so we look at where the council is in its review.
Land assembly
Larger schemes often need several owners to agree a fair way to share value.
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.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 141 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
How long does strategic land take?
Often several years, because it may need a Local Development Plan allocation and then an outline permission. We are honest about timing for each site.
Will I be paid anything before planning?
Under an option, owners are usually paid a premium on signing, with the main payment when the land is sold after planning.
Do you buy strategic land in Pembroke?
Yes. We buy strategic land in Pembroke and throughout Dyfed, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Can an agent introduce land in Pembroke 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.
