If you want to keep your house and step back from the development, you can sell the plot to us, with or without planning, or agree a sale subject to planning, an option, promotion or a joint venture.

The planning picture in South Glamorgan
Councils in South Glamorgan ask the same broad questions of any backland scheme, though each answers them through its own LDP. Can cars get in and out safely, without unfair disturbance to neighbours? Will the new home overlook anyone or take their light? Does it fit the pattern of the area, with enough garden left for both homes? Are trees, wildlife, parking, bins and drainage properly handled? On top of that, the design has to allow for sprinklers, which every new home in Wales must have. The scheme must also take account of the Welsh requirement to deliver a net benefit for biodiversity.

Questions about garden plots in South Glamorgan
How much is a garden plot in South Glamorgan worth?
It depends on location, size, access, title and, above all, planning. Two similar gardens in the same street can be worth very different amounts if one has easy access and the other doesn’t. We don’t quote figures before we’ve looked at a plot properly; the free appraisal is the way to find out.
Which council decides planning for a garden plot in South Glamorgan?
The council for your address decides. The planning authorities covering South Glamorgan include Cardiff Council and Vale of Glamorgan Council. 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 I need my own solicitor to sell a plot in South Glamorgan?
Yes, always. Your solicitor checks the contract, deals with the transfer of part at HM Land Registry and asks your mortgage lender to release the plot if the house is mortgaged. On option and promotion agreements we cover your reasonable legal fees, with the cap agreed in heads of terms before work starts.
Do you buy garden plots in South Glamorgan?
Yes. We buy suitable garden plots across South Glamorgan 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.
