What barns and rural buildings we want near Caerphilly
In the countryside around Caerphilly, redundant barns and yards can sometimes become homes, depending on the building and the route available. Caerphilly lies about 10 miles south-west of Cwmbran in Gwent. We also cover Bedwas, Risca, Pontypridd and the villages between them.

- Buildings with an existing access to a road
- Buildings with or without an existing consent
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.
