Strategic land wanted in Treorchy
Development Land Wanted buys strategic land in Treorchy and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
Strategic land means sites big enough to need long-term promotion, infrastructure and often a Local Development Plan allocation. Owners typically keep the land while it is promoted and are paid when planning is secured and the land is sold.

Mid Glamorgan covers the South Wales valleys of the Rhondda, Cynon, Taff and Merthyr, along with Bridgend, Pontypridd, Maesteg and Porthcawl. There is no green belt, but green wedges are used locally and the northern uplands fall within Bannau Brycheiniog National Park. Former colliery and industrial land, terraced-street infill and edge-of-settlement fields are typical sources of housing sites, with coal mining legacy and steep slopes common checks.
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.
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.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 92 miles from Treorchy, and we travel to see sites across 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.
Is Treorchy too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 92 miles from Treorchy, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Treorchy 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.
