Site Sales
Eatonfield Group plc, the commercial property developer and house builder, is pleased to
announce the successful sale of two residential sites.
A contract has been exchanged for the sale of a residential site in South Wales and an
unconditional contract has been issued for the sale of a residential site in North Wales to a
local Housing Association.
Cwmamman Road at Glanamman in Carmarthenshire is a 5.05 acre site with outline
planning permission in principle for 55 units. Glan y Don at Greenfield in North Wales is a
4.75 acre site with outline planning permission for 60 units.
The two sites will be sold for a total of £4.4m subject to contract and after paying off debt this
has generated cash of £1.5m. A good level of interest from housebuilders has been shown in
these two sites despite the slowdown in sales of new homes in recent months.
Eatonfield currently has 14 sites with a total of 457 plots with planning permission and a
further 1277 which it is progressing through the planning process. The granting of planning
permission provides Eatonfield with the opportunity to choose to develop a site itself or to
sell on at the most appropriate time, to realise an acceptable level of profit.
Rob Lloyd, Chief Executive said; "We are delighted with the level of interest shown in these
two sites, which confirms that even in this marketplace the correct product in the right location
with a suitable planning permission can be sold. The current market conditions are providing Eatonfield with numerous opportunities, in both the commercial and residential sectors, allowing us to negotiate increasingly advantageous terms."
