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.

Previously developed land

Welsh policy prefers reusing suitable previously developed land in sustainable locations before greenfield sites.

Flood risk

Natural Resources Wales flood maps and Technical Advice Note 15 guide where new homes can go. Phosphate limits in some river catchments have also affected new housing.

When the land isn't straightforward

You're worried about contamination liability

Contracts can deal with who takes responsibility for contamination. Take advice from your solicitor on the wording.

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
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

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.
