We want to hear from owners of brownfield land in Abertillery. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Brownfield land is land that has been developed before, such as a former factory, depot, yard or cleared building plot. National policy in both England and Wales supports reusing it, and we buy brownfield sites of all sizes for new homes.

Is your land in Abertillery the kind we want?
In Abertillery, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. In Gwent, Abertillery sits about 7 miles north-west of Cwmbran; Pontypool and Newbridge are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
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.
Checks we make on brownfield land in Abertillery
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
Demolition and ground
Old foundations, tanks and services add cost, so we allow for them in our appraisal.
Employment land policy
Some councils protect employment land; we check whether a change to housing would be resisted.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 77 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
