Land we're keen to see around Bridgend

  • Former workshops, depots and yards
  • Cleared sites with old hardstanding
  • Sites next to canals, railways or town centres
  • Land with known or suspected contamination

We buy cleared sites, derelict buildings and yards, and price in the clean-up so you don't have to deal with it first.

What affects the price

Existing use value

If the site has a viable current use, that sets the floor for an offer.

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.

Planning and legal points for land in Mid Glamorgan

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access
  • 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.

Do you buy contaminated land?

Yes. We investigate and price the remediation, so you don't need to clean the site first.

Do I need a contamination report before selling?

No, though any reports you have will help us price more accurately.

Can you visit land near Bridgend?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
