Property Reference: HAY120141 │Hay-On-Wye Office │Tel: 01497 820778
A fine level area of 2.34 acres (0.95 hectares) of prime residential development land in an elevated
location on the edge of the town with fine views over the Teifi Valley.
DESCRIPTION
The land comprises roughly a triangular field in a
favoured location situated alongside Brongest Road out
of Lampeter, on the southern edge of the town high
above the Teifi flood plan, with farm land on one side,
road frontage on the second and the old redundant
railway line to the third. The site lies within a short
distance of the supermarket and the town's facilities
and it is also close at the rear to the Halls of Residence
of Lampeter University. The site has a gentle level
aspect, although it does slope down to the railway line
in its southern most corner.
LOCATION
Lampeter is a thriving market and university town near
the Carmarthenshire border in an area of high scenic
value and on the famous Teifi River. The town has a
population of about 2,000 plus the students and has a
highly diverse economy based on the college, a strong
service sector to the rural heartland of the area and has
a wonderful array of facilities for a town of its size.
These include leisure centre, supermarket shopping,
hotels, public houses, doctors, churches and chapels.
The Univeristy founded in 1822 by Bishop Burgess to
provide training for those wishing to join the Anglican
Priesthood, now provides places for up to 1,500
students. Because of the university and the faciilities
the town offers, property values are generally high and
sell readily.
The town has easy access to the
Ceredigion coast and Pembrokeshire National Park
together with the Cambrian Mountains of Mid Wales,
the Elan Valley and Snowdonia Mountains.
PLANNING CONSENT
Planning consent was granted on the 27th September
2011 under Planning Reference Number A100495.
There is a Section 106 Agreement in place, for up to 24
dwellings to be constructed in three phases, for 16
open market houses and 8 affordable houses, which
are defined as houses that shall not be sold with the
price exceeding 70% of the open market value with
strict qualifying conditions.
Details of the 106
Agreement are available upon request, together with
copies of the Planning Consent. In addition Planning
consent was granted in May 2011 for change of use of
land of wide open space and play area on part of the

SERVICES
We have minimal information about the cost of
providing services to the site, but understand that the
mains water supply is within the boundaries of the
property with a tapping already in place just inside the
gateway. We believe mains drainage is available near
the chapel and that storm water can be taken away
from the site through the Vendor's retained land to the
south of the development (more than one route
possible). Mains electricity is situated nearby. No gas
available.
