Land we're keen to see around Tonypandy

  • Land with a road frontage or a clear way to create access
  • 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 Mid Glamorgan

Current use value

Agricultural or amenity value is the floor under any offer.

Local plan position

Land allocated, or close to being allocated, for housing carries far more hope value.

Planning history

Past refusals and appeal decisions on the site and its neighbours shape the odds.

Deal structure

Conditional and option deals can pay more because the price is fixed against value with permission.

Ways to sell this land

Outright purchase

Certainty now, at a price that reflects the planning risk we take on.

Subject-to-planning sale

We exchange contracts now and complete once permission is granted.

Option agreements

We pay for the right to buy later and fund the planning work meanwhile.

Joint ventures

You keep a stake and share in the value planning creates.

How a sale works

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. You get a written offer

    With the main figures behind it, so your adviser can check it.

  4. Solicitors complete the sale

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

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.

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.

When the land isn't straightforward

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

  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Common questions

Can I sell land without planning permission?

Yes. Land without consent is bought and sold every day. The question is whether you want a lower price now or a higher price later that depends on permission being granted.

What is hope value?

Hope value is the premium a buyer pays above the current use value because there is a realistic prospect of planning permission. It is higher the more likely and closer that permission is.

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.
