• Approximately 1.5 acres of freehold development land
• Pre-application submitted for seven detached dwellings (REF 2019/1101/PRE)
• Proposed scheme assumed purchase of adjacent council ‘playground’ land
• Access from Mynydd Garnllwyd Road and Solva Road
• No identified flood risk; excellent mobile signal, fast broadband
• Located in a very deprived area — local values may be suppressed
• Sold at online auction; 5% deposit and 5%+VAT buyer’s premium apply
• Unconditional sale with 28-day completion and legal pack risks
An unusually large 1.5-acre freehold parcel positioned between two residential streets, offering clear development potential for investors and housebuilders. A planning pre-application (REF 2019/1101/PRE) was previously submitted proposing seven detached dwellings, but that scheme relied on purchasing adjacent council land marked as a ‘playground’ — that purchase is not included and remains uncertain.
The site benefits from no identified flood risk, strong mobile signal and fast broadband, and road access from Mynydd Garnllwyd and Solva Road. Its size and location make it suitable for subdivision or an alternative scheme, subject to securing the necessary consents and any required local authority approvals.
Buyers should note this is an unconditional auction lot with a 5% deposit on exchange and a buyer’s premium (5% + VAT, minimum £5,000 + VAT). Contracts require completion within 28 days, and the legal pack contains special conditions and any additional costs — review it before bidding.
This opportunity will suit experienced developers or investor-buyers comfortable with planning risk, working with local authorities on land purchase issues, and meeting tight auction timescales. The site’s position within a very deprived area may affect sales values and phasing assumptions, so factor local market conditions into viability assessments.
