The Welsh system, as it applies in Aberystwyth
In Wales, planning applications for new homes in Aberystwyth are decided by the local planning authority, usually the county or county borough council, using its Local Development Plan, Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Landowners can sell outright or through an option or promotion agreement in which the planning work is funded for them and recovered only from a sale with planning. Land to Homes offers a free site appraisal and covers your reasonable legal fees on option and promotion agreements.
Housing associations and councils planning new homes in Aberystwyth work within Welsh rules: grant comes from the Welsh Government's Social Housing Grant, tenants usually hold secure occupation contracts under the Renting Homes (Wales) Act 2016, and social landlords are registered and regulated by the Welsh Ministers. Land to Homes can supply land with or without planning, or build homes for transfer to a social landlord on completion.
| Who decides applications | The local planning authority, usually the county or county borough council (or a national park authority) |
|---|---|
| In-principle consent | Outline planning permission, with reserved matters approved later |
| Land transaction tax (paid by the buyer) | Land Transaction Tax (LTT) |
| Land registration | HM Land Registry |
| How a sale becomes binding | As in England, a land sale becomes legally binding on exchange of contracts and finishes on completion, with the title registered at HM Land Registry. |
Land and homes in Aberystwyth: questions
Can Green Belt land be developed?
Green Belt is land around certain towns and cities where policy keeps land open, so new homes are normally resisted unless a local plan releases the land or there are very special circumstances. In England, recent policy changes introduced grey belt land, which can be more acceptable for development in some cases. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own green belt policies.
What is a land promotion agreement?
Under a promotion agreement, a promoter funds and manages the planning process, then markets the land for sale with the landowner once permission is granted. The proceeds are shared under an agreed formula after the promoter's costs. With Land to Homes there is nothing to pay upfront: planning costs are only recovered from the sale proceeds if the land sells with planning.
What should I check before reserving any new-build home?
Check the specification, the tenure and any lease terms, estate or service charges for unadopted roads and open space, the warranty provider, the reservation terms and whether the developer is registered with the New Homes Quality Board. Instruct your own solicitor early, visit the site if you can and ask for everything important in writing.
Do you have any new homes for sale or rent?
Not yet. Land to Homes is a new venture and has no homes, plots or developments for sale or rent at the moment. You can register interest with the area and type of home you want, and we will contact you if we bring forward homes that match. We do not take reservations, fees or deposits at this stage.
Do you buy land in Aberystwyth?
Yes. Land to Homes looks at land in Aberystwyth and elsewhere in Dyfed, including Llanelli, Haverfordwest and Carmarthen. Every enquiry starts with a free site appraisal, and on option and promotion agreements we pay your reasonable legal fees.
