What allocated and promoted land we want near Newtown
We are interested in land around Newtown at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. In Powys, Newtown sits about 19 miles north of Llandrindod Wells; Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Powys is a large and sparsely populated county with market towns such as Newtown, Welshpool, Brecon, Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and Ystradgynlais and many small villages. There is no green belt, and Bannau Brycheiniog National Park covers much of the south. Phosphate limits in the Wye and Usk river catchments have restricted new housing in large parts of the county, making drainage the first question for many sites.

Allocated and promoted land in Newtown: 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.
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.
Can an agent introduce land in Newtown to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Newtown assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
