Sell land without planning permission in Pembroke Dock

If you own land without planning permission near Pembroke Dock, we can usually tell you quite quickly whether it suits us, and if it doesn't, we'll say why.

Land without planning permission is any land that has no current consent for building. You can still sell it: either outright at a price that reflects its present use and the chance of permission (hope value), or on a conditional or option basis that pays more if permission is granted.

What we look for around Pembroke Dock

  • Sites the council has assessed in its land availability study
  • Former orchards, nurseries and smallholdings
  • Grazing land with no tenancy or with a tenancy that can be ended

Most land for sale has no planning permission. That does not stop a sale; it changes how the deal should be structured so the planning risk is shared sensibly.

How we arrive at a figure for land in Dyfed

Current use value

Agricultural or amenity value is the floor under any offer.

Hope value

The extra a buyer will pay for the chance of permission, which rises the closer the land is to existing homes.

Access and services

Land that is easy to reach and connect is cheaper to promote and build on.

Constraints

Green belt, flood zones, heritage and landscape designations reduce the chance of consent.

How a sale works

  1. Send us the address

    A postcode, a plan or a what3words location is enough to start.

  2. We do the homework

    We read the title and planning record and check flood risk and access.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

    Exchange and complete, or exchange now and complete when planning is granted.

Planning and legal points for land in Dyfed

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.

Green belts and green wedges

England's grey belt rules don't apply in Wales. Planning Policy Wales sets out green belt and green wedge policy, which strongly restricts development.

Farm tenancies

Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies apply in Wales as in England, with their own notice and compensation rules.

Awkward details we deal with

The council says the land is outside the settlement

Settlement boundaries change when plans are reviewed. We look at the plan timetable and whether the site could be promoted at the next review.

You don't want to wait years

Then an outright sale at a lower, risk-adjusted price may suit you better, and we will say so.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

What happens if planning is refused?

On a conditional contract or option, if permission is not granted within the agreed period the deal ends and you keep the land. Any option fee paid is usually yours to keep.

Will getting permission myself increase the price?

It can, but applications cost money and carry risk. We can talk through whether it makes sense for you to apply or for us to do it under a contract.

Do you buy land in the green belt?

Sometimes. Green belt land is hard to develop, though England's planning policy now recognises 'grey belt' land. We will tell you frankly whether your site has a realistic prospect.

Do you buy land in Pembroke Dock?

Yes. We consider land in and around Pembroke Dock and across Dyfed. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
