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."
