Allocated and promoted land we are looking for in Brynmawr
Around Brynmawr, allocated sites and land put forward to the council are usually the furthest along, so they can often move faster than land at an earlier stage. Brynmawr is in Gwent, about 12 miles north-west of Cwmbran. Nearby places include Ebbw Vale, Tredegar and Rhymney.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment

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.
What usually makes or breaks it
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 75 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Allocated and promoted land in Brynmawr: common questions
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.
Is there an equivalent of a candidate site process in Wales?
Yes. Welsh councils run candidate site stages when preparing or reviewing their Local Development Plans.
Is Brynmawr too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 75 miles from Brynmawr, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Brynmawr assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
