Wanted in Abergavenny

Development land wanted in Abergavenny

Own land in Abergavenny that could take new homes? We buy directly, with or without planning.

Abergavenny is in Gwent, about 12 miles north of Cwmbran. Nearby places include Brynmawr, Abertillery and Pontypool. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 69 miles from Abergavenny, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Newport's adopted Local Development Plan designates a green belt between Newport and Cardiff, and Future Wales anticipates a wider green belt for south-east Wales once a regional plan sets its boundary. Newport and Cwmbran see the strongest demand, while Bannau Brycheiniog National Park and the Wye Valley National Landscape cover northern and eastern parts of the area.

In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.

Land we want in Abergavenny

Cleared former industrial yard with cracked concrete, a palisade fence and an old brick warehouse wall

Commercial and industrial sites

Older business land around Abergavenny, especially units now surrounded by housing, is the kind of commercial site we would like to discuss.
