Sell, partner or build in Dyfed
Your route depends on how much money, time and involvement you want from your garden. A direct sale, subject to survey, title and contract, is the simplest. A conditional sale, option or promotion can reflect more of the value a planning permission adds, with nothing upfront on promotion and reasonable legal fees covered on options. Design and build keeps the land yours. We’ll explain which of these fit your plot in Dyfed during the free appraisal.

The planning picture in Dyfed
Planning applications in Dyfed are decided by the council for your address. The planning authorities covering Dyfed include Carmarthenshire County Council, Ceredigion County Council, Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority, and each judges garden schemes against its own LDP and Planning Policy Wales (PPW). Officers usually look hardest at access, privacy, daylight, the character of the street and the garden left for the existing house. Many councils use separation guides of around 21 metres between facing back windows, though your council’s own guidance decides. We read those policies for your plot before recommending anything, and the final decision is always the council’s.
Planning authorities: Carmarthenshire County Council, Ceredigion County Council, Pembrokeshire County Council, Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority.

Questions about garden plots in Dyfed
Which national rules apply to a new home in Dyfed?
Garden schemes here sit under Planning Policy Wales (PPW), with the local detail coming from the council’s Local Development Plan (LDP). New homes must also meet the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales. That affects things such as sprinklers, which every new home in Wales must have. On drainage you’ll usually need approval from the SuDS Approval Body (SAB) before building starts, and land purchases fall under Land Transaction Tax (LTT). We check which rules apply to your plot as part of the free appraisal.
Can you build a new home in my garden in Dyfed for me to keep?
Yes. Through our design and build route we survey your plot, design a new home with you, apply for planning and, once permission is granted, build it. You keep the land and the new home, to sell, let or use for family. You get a written quote after design and survey, and any earlier guide price is a guide only.
Which council decides planning for a garden plot in Dyfed?
The council for your address decides. The planning authorities covering Dyfed include Carmarthenshire County Council, Ceredigion County Council, Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembrokeshire Coast National Park Authority. Each judges applications against its own LDP and Planning Policy Wales (PPW), together with its design guidance. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the council’s questions, but the decision is always the council’s, never ours.
Do you buy garden plots in Dyfed?
Yes. We buy suitable garden plots across Dyfed directly, with or without planning permission, always subject to survey, title and contract. We also offer sales subject to planning, options, planning promotion and joint ventures. Which route fits depends on your plot, so the starting point is a free, no-obligation appraisal.
