Sell land for affordable homes in Milford Haven

If you own land for affordable housing near Milford Haven, we can usually tell you quite quickly whether it suits us, and if it doesn't, we'll say why.

A rural exception site is a small site on the edge of a village, where housing would not normally be allowed, that can be granted permission for affordable homes to meet a local need. Land sold for this purpose usually achieves more than farmland value, though less than open-market housing land.

  • No commission: we're the buyer

Land we're keen to see around Milford Haven

  • Villages with evidence of local housing need
  • Sites with safe access and walking routes to village facilities
  • Land suitable for a handful of homes up to a small scheme
  • Land owned by families, estates, churches or charities

Exception sites work differently from normal housing land. The price is lower than open-market development land but well above agricultural value, and the homes stay affordable for the community.

What decides the value of land for affordable housing near Milford Haven

Housing need

A local housing needs survey usually has to show demand for the homes.

Tenure mix

Social rent, affordable rent and shared ownership homes produce different values.

Scheme size

Exception sites are usually small and proportionate to the village.

Long-term control

Legal agreements keep the homes affordable, often with local occupancy rules.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

Possible once an exception scheme has permission.

Subject-to-planning sale

The usual route: we agree a price and complete when permission is granted.

Option agreements

Useful while housing need is evidenced and a scheme is prepared.

Joint ventures

Can suit estates and charities that want an ongoing say in the homes.

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.

Section 106 and CIL

Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.

Rural exception sites

Welsh policy, including Technical Advice Note 2, supports rural exception sites for affordable homes that meet local need.

Common problems, and how we handle them

The village has no recent housing survey

Need can be evidenced through a new survey with the parish council and the council's housing team.

You're a charity or trust

Charity trustees usually need advice from a designated adviser before disposing of land. We'll work with your adviser.

Useful to send us

  • The address or postcode
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements

Your questions answered

Do rural exception sites exist in Wales?

Yes. Welsh planning policy also supports rural exception sites for affordable housing that meets local need.

Can some homes be sold on the open market?

Some councils allow a small number of market homes to make a scheme viable. It depends on local policy.

Do you plan affordable housing?

Yes. Affordable and social housing is part of the land-to-homes work the S&K Group is setting out to do, and we can talk through how a scheme on your land might work.

Do you buy land in Milford Haven?

Yes. We consider land in and around Milford Haven 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.
