Is your land in Pencoed the kind we want?
Larger landholdings on the approaches to Pencoed are where strategic land usually comes from, particularly near transport links. In Mid Glamorgan, Pencoed sits about 4 miles east of Bridgend; Bridgend and Aberkenfig are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- 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 near railway stations or good bus routes
- Land with more than one possible access point
The South Wales Metro and upgraded valley rail lines are a focus for growth, with stations at Pontypridd, Aberdare, Treorchy and Merthyr Tydfil. Lower-lying land around Bridgend, Pencoed and Llantrisant along the M4 corridor sees more demand for larger housing sites, and flood risk under TAN 15 matters on the valley floors.
What decides whether a site in Pencoed 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, 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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 98 miles from Pencoed, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
