Wanted in Caldicot

Development land wanted in Caldicot

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

Caldicot lies about 12 miles east of Cwmbran in Gwent. We also cover Chepstow, Caerleon, Newport and the villages between them. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 76 miles from Caldicot, 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.
