Large greenfield site with pre‑app support for a 36‑unit scheme near a Victorian spa town.
Approximately 3.4 acres of LDP‑allocated residential land
A substantial LDP‑allocated development opportunity on approximately 3.4 acres in the village of Howey, just 1.7 miles from Llandrindod Wells. Pre-application advice supports up to 36 dwellings, with 30% identified for affordable housing, giving a clear starting point for a residential scheme. The site is greenfield, largely rectangular and benefits from roadside access, excellent mobile signal and fast broadband—practical advantages for modern housing provision in a rural setting.
This plot will appeal to developers and investors seeking a countryside scheme with nearby town amenities. Scenic, open surroundings provide a marketable setting for family homes or a mixed tenure development. The allocation in the Local Development Plan reduces some policy uncertainty, but full planning permission is not yet granted and will be needed before construction.
Buyers should factor in material constraints: the 30% affordable housing allocation affects unit mix and financial viability, tenure is currently unknown, and on‑site services (mains water, drainage, power) are not confirmed. The wider area records very high deprivation, which may influence demand, sales values and affordable housing delivery. A detailed feasibility, ground investigation and full planning application are recommended to understand infrastructure costs and viability before commitment.
