Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.
What affects the price
Street character
Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.
Local plan policy
Some rural policies allow infill of one or two homes in small villages.
Heritage
Listed neighbours or conservation areas mean careful design.
Local values
What new homes sell for in the street sets the ceiling.

What Wales's rules mean for your land
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.
Heritage
Listed buildings and scheduled monuments in Wales are managed with Cadw and the council's conservation officers.
Common problems, and how we handle them
The plot is in a conservation area
Good design is essential in conservation areas. We'll design to the street.
Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour
Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.
Useful to send us
- Your title number, if you know it

Questions from landowners near Swansea
Is infill easier to get permission for?
Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.
Can you check the conservation area rules for me?
Yes. We look at the council's conservation area appraisal as part of our assessment.
Do I pay anything for your appraisal?
No. Our appraisal and offer are free and there's no obligation.
Do you cover the villages around Swansea?
Yes. Villages between Swansea, Clydach and Briton Ferry often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
