Land we're keen to see around Tonypandy
- Reserved matters approvals or discharge-of-conditions decisions already in place
- Permissions that are still within their time limit, or have been lawfully started
- Sites with a signed Section 106 agreement we can read
- Lapsed or lapsing permissions, which we can look at renewing
A site with a live planning permission is the simplest land to sell. The main questions are whether the permission is still valid, what its conditions require and how much the Section 106 agreement costs to deliver.
How we arrive at a figure for land in Mid Glamorgan
Time left on the permission
A permission close to expiry may need a quick start or a fresh application, and that affects price.
Scheme quality
A scheme that is hard to build or sell may need redesigning, which reduces the land value.
Abnormal costs
Retaining walls, drainage works or contamination add cost beyond a normal build.
Sale values nearby
What similar new homes sell for locally sets the ceiling on value.
Ways to sell this land
Outright purchase
The usual route for consented land: agree a price, then exchange and complete.
Subject-to-planning sale
Useful if you want us to improve or renew the permission before completion.
Option agreements
Rarely needed once consent exists, but can suit phased sites.
Joint ventures
An option if you would like a share of the profit from building the homes.

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.
Biodiversity
Wales doesn't use England's 10% net gain metric. Planning Policy Wales expects development to deliver a net benefit for biodiversity.
Section 106 and CIL
Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.
Common problems, and how we handle them
The permission is about to expire
In England a full permission normally lasts three years and in Wales five. We check whether a lawful start has been made or whether a new application is the better route.
The Section 106 makes the scheme unviable
If costs have moved since consent, a viability review or a variation may be possible. We will tell you if we think that is realistic.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Photos of the land and its access
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell
What people ask us about land with planning permission
How long does planning permission last?
In England, full planning permission usually requires work to start within three years, and in Wales within five, unless the decision notice says otherwise. Outline permissions have separate time limits for reserved matters. The decision notice sets out the exact dates.
Can you buy if I only have outline permission?
Yes. We will price the reserved matters work and the risk that the detailed design changes the number or type of homes.
Can you exchange quickly on a consented site?
Often, yes, because the planning question is answered. The pace then depends on title, searches and how quickly both solicitors work.
Do you buy land in Tonypandy?
Yes. We consider land in and around Tonypandy and across Mid Glamorgan. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
