Allocated and promoted land wanted in Abertillery
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Abertillery and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Allocated land is identified for development in an adopted Local Development Plan (England) or Local Development Plan (Wales). Promoted land has been put forward through a candidate site process or candidate site process. Both are strong signals of potential, and we buy or take options on such land.

Is your land in Abertillery the kind we want?
If your land near Abertillery appears in the council's plan or its site assessments, send us the reference; it changes the conversation. Abertillery lies about 7 miles north-west of Cwmbran in Gwent. We also cover Pontypool, Newbridge, Ebbw Vale and the villages between them.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a candidate site process (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
Gwent covers south-east Wales, from Newport, Cwmbran and Pontypool to the valley towns of Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Blackwood and Caerphilly and the market towns of Abergavenny, Chepstow and Monmouth. Typical sites include former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-town fields and village infill, with green wedges protecting gaps between settlements. Phosphate limits in the Usk and Wye catchments have held back housing in parts of the area, and the Gwent Levels bring flood and habitat constraints.
Checks we make on allocated and promoted land in Abertillery
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
Welsh planning policy seeks a net benefit for biodiversity rather than using England's statutory biodiversity net gain metric, so ecology is assessed differently on Welsh sites.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 77 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Abertillery ask
My land is in a candidate site process. Does that mean it will be allocated?
No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.
My land was under an option that expired. Can you take over?
Yes, if the earlier agreement has properly ended. We will want to see it to confirm there is no continuing exclusivity.

Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Abertillery and throughout Gwent, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Abertillery assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
