Development Land Wanted buys allocated and promoted land in Tredegar and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.

What allocated and promoted land we want near Tredegar
We are interested in land around Tredegar at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Sitting about 13 miles north-west of Cwmbran, Tredegar is within Gwent, with Ebbw Vale and Rhymney close by.
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- 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.
What decides whether a site in Tredegar works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 78 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Gwent
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.
Is Tredegar too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 78 miles from Tredegar, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Tredegar?
As Tredegar is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
