The kinds of plot we look at in Pembroke Dock
Sometimes the plot that works isn’t a single garden at all. Two or three adjoining back gardens in Pembroke Dock can often be combined into one scheme with one shared access, giving a better layout than any of them alone. Each owner keeps their house, and a collaboration agreement with an equalisation clause shares the value fairly. If your own garden is too narrow or too short to work on its own, it’s worth asking whether the neighbours might be interested too.
Planning and light in Pembroke Dock
The rules for a new home in Pembroke Dock come from three levels. Nationally there is Planning Policy Wales (PPW). Locally, the council’s Local Development Plan (LDP) sets the policies Pembrokeshire County Council applies, alongside its own guidance on design, parking and gardens. Then the build itself must meet the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales. That brings in practical matters such as sprinklers, which every new home in Wales must have, and rainwater drainage usually calls for approval from the SuDS Approval Body (SAB) before building starts. Any purchase of the plot falls under Land Transaction Tax (LTT). We work through each level for your plot at the start, so there are fewer late surprises once the planning application is under way.

What happens next
The next step is simple. Use the form or call us with your Pembroke Dock address and, if you can, a rough idea of the garden’s length, width and how a vehicle might reach it. We’ll do a desktop check, talk it through with you and arrange a site visit if the plot looks viable. There’s no cost and no obligation.
Questions about garden plots in Pembroke Dock
What happens if planning is refused for a plot in Pembroke Dock?
If you agreed a sale subject to planning, the contract doesn’t complete and you keep your land. We’ll then look at the reasons Pembrokeshire County Council gave and tell you honestly whether a revised application, an appeal or stopping is the sensible choice. Nothing about your own house changes.
Do you look at garage courts and yards in Pembroke Dock?
Yes. Garage courts, lock-up blocks, old yards and outbuildings behind houses can sometimes take a new home, especially where a vehicle access already exists. We check who owns the access, what rights others have over it and what the ground was used for, as part of the free appraisal.
Can I team up with my neighbours in Pembroke Dock?
Yes, and it can make a weak plot workable. Combining adjoining gardens can allow one shared access and a better layout. Each owner keeps their house, and a collaboration agreement sets out decisions, costs and how value is shared through equalisation. Every household should have its own solicitor.
Can I sell part of my garden in Pembroke Dock?
Often, yes, if the plot is big enough, has a workable access and stands a reasonable chance of planning. We buy suitable plots directly, with or without planning, subject to survey, title and contract, or agree a sale that only completes if Pembrokeshire County Council grants permission. If planning is refused on a conditional sale, you keep your land.
