Wanted in Abertillery

Development land wanted in Abertillery

Development Land Wanted buys land of every size in Abertillery and the villages nearby.

Sitting about 7 miles north-west of Cwmbran, Abertillery is within Gwent, with Pontypool and Newbridge close by. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 77 miles from Abertillery, 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.

Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.

Land we want in Abertillery

Land without planning permission

For land on the edges of Abertillery with no consent yet, the first questions are access, flood risk and how the council's current plan treats the area.

Brownfield land

Brownfield land in Abertillery tends to be well located for homes; the questions are usually about contamination, demolition and neighbours.

Infill plots

We look for infill plots across Abertillery and the surrounding villages, particularly where there is room for parking off the road.

Garden and backland plots

In parts of Abertillery with long gardens or rear lanes, backland plots can work well if the access is wide enough and neighbours are treated fairly.

Farmland and paddocks

Fields that wrap around the edges of Abertillery and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about.

Strategic land

Around Abertillery, strategic sites tend to be the big fields between the built edge and the main roads, where a whole new neighbourhood could be planned.

Small sites

In Abertillery, small sites are often the leftover pieces: a side garden, an old garage block or a gap where a building once stood.

Commercial and industrial sites

In Abertillery, industrial land that has drifted out of use can often be reimagined as homes, subject to the council's view on employment land.
