What decides the value of land without planning permission near Pontarddulais

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.

Constraints

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

Deal structure

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

Ways to sell this land

Option agreements

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

    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.

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.

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.

Your questions answered

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.

Who pays for the planning application?

On subject-to-planning and option deals we normally fund the planning work. On an outright purchase it is our risk and our cost after completion.

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.

Can you visit land near Pontarddulais?

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.
