Powys is a large and sparsely populated county with market towns such as Newtown, Welshpool, Brecon, Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Ystradgynlais and many small villages. There is no green belt, and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park covers much of the south. Phosphate limits in the Wye and Usk river catchments have restricted new housing in large parts of the county, making drainage the first question for many sites.
What decides whether a site in Ystradgynlais works
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.
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 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.
