Allocated and promoted land wanted in Newport
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Newport 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.

What allocated and promoted land we want near Newport
If your land near Newport appears in the council's plan or its site assessments, send us the reference; it changes the conversation. In Gwent, Newport sits about 5 miles south of Cwmbran; Caerleon and Risca are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Sites submitted to a candidate site process (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
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.

Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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.

Your questions answered
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.
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.
Is Newport too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 81 miles from Newport, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Newport?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
