Our approach in Llanelli
No obligation, no cost
The appraisal is free and there is no obligation to go any further. If your land is unlikely to suit new homes, we will tell you plainly and explain why.
Services and drainage
We check where sewers, water mains and power run, and flag where limited capacity, long connections or drainage design could add significant cost to a scheme.
Planning policy reviewed
We read the adopted development plan, its policies map and any emerging plan, and note how your land is treated: within a settlement boundary, allocated, protected or open countryside.
Constraints mapped
Flood zones, conservation areas, listed buildings, protected trees, ecological designations and landscape protections are all checked against your boundary using official mapping and published public records.
Planning and land rules in Llanelli
Permission in Principle is not available in Wales, so the usual first step for land near Llanelli is an outline planning application, with reserved matters to follow, or a full application. Councils allocate housing sites through their Local Development Plan, and landowners can put land forward as a candidate site when a plan is prepared or reviewed. If your land is not allocated, an option or promotion agreement lets a partner take on the cost of promoting it.
In Wales, we check the Local Development Plan, the Flood Map for Planning from Natural Resources Wales used under Technical Advice Note 15, listed buildings and scheduled monuments recorded by Cadw, and whether the site lies in a river catchment with phosphate limits. Drainage is assessed early, since most schemes need SuDS approving body approval.

Questions about Free Site Appraisal in Llanelli
What does a free site appraisal include?
It covers local planning policy, constraints such as flood risk and heritage, access to the road, title issues, services, and an indication of the kind of scheme that might fit. It ends with a view on the realistic routes for your land. It is not a formal valuation, and it is not legal advice.
Will the appraisal tell me what my land is worth?
Not as a formal valuation. We explain the factors that drive development land value for your site, such as the likely number of homes, local sale values and build costs. If we make an offer later, it will be in writing. For a formal valuation, instruct a chartered surveyor.
What information do I need to provide for a site appraisal?
A postcode or rough boundary is enough to start. It helps to add the title number if you know it, the current use, any planning history, any tenancies, and known issues such as drainage or access disputes. Photos and existing reports are useful but not essential.
Will you contact my neighbours or the council?
Not without your agreement. We use what you share to assess your land and discuss it with you. Our desktop review relies on published records and mapping. If talking to a neighbour or the council would help, we will ask you first and explain why.
Do you buy land in Llanelli?
Yes. Land to Homes looks at land in Llanelli and elsewhere in Dyfed, including Carmarthen, Aberystwyth and Haverfordwest. Every enquiry starts with a free site appraisal, and on option and promotion agreements we pay your reasonable legal fees.
