Land we're keen to see around Ammanford
- Cleared sites with old hardstanding
- Redundant commercial buildings in residential areas
- Sites next to canals, railways or town centres
- Sites where previous schemes stalled
Brownfield sites often carry baggage: contamination, old foundations, tricky neighbours. They're also some of the best places for new homes, and policy generally supports their reuse.
The things that move our offer
Demolition
Removing buildings and old foundations is a significant cost on many sites.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from nearby businesses affect design and value.
Flood risk
Many brownfield sites are near rivers and canals, so flood risk is checked early.
Viability
Councils may accept lower obligations where clean-up costs are high.
Choosing how to sell
Outright purchase
We take on the site and its problems for an agreed price.
Subject-to-planning sale
We complete once permission is granted for a housing scheme.
Option agreements
Can suit larger brownfield sites with a longer planning route.
Joint ventures
Worth discussing if you want to share in the regeneration value.

Rules that apply in Wales
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Section 106 and CIL
Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.
Previously developed land
Welsh policy prefers reusing suitable previously developed land in sustainable locations before greenfield sites.
Awkward details we deal with
The buildings are being vandalised
A quick exchange can transfer risk and security responsibility sooner. We'll talk through timing.
A previous buyer pulled out after surveys
We'd like to see any reports. Problems can often be priced rather than walked away from.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Any planning applications or letters
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
What people ask us about brownfield land
What counts as brownfield land?
Land that has been occupied by a permanent structure and its associated fixed surface infrastructure. Some exceptions apply, such as agricultural buildings and residential gardens in built-up areas.
Is it easier to get planning on brownfield land?
National policy in England and Wales gives weight to reusing suitable brownfield land, so the starting point is often positive. Each site is still judged on its merits.
Do I need a contamination report before selling?
No, though any reports you have will help us price more accurately.
Do you cover the villages around Ammanford?
Yes. Villages between Ammanford, Pontarddulais and Clydach often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
