Brownfield land wanted in Caerleon
If you own brownfield land in or around Caerleon, we would like to hear about it. We buy directly and give a free, no-obligation appraisal.
A brownfield site is previously developed land, usually in or near a town. Old use can mean contamination, demolition or difficult ground, but these are often solvable. We look at the history, the ground and the planning position before making an offer.

Is your land in Caerleon the kind we want?
Former works, depots and yards in and around Caerleon can make good housing sites once the ground and neighbouring uses are understood. In Gwent, Caerleon sits about 4 miles south-east of Cwmbran; Newport and Cwmbran are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Former industrial, commercial or depot sites
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
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 usually makes or breaks it
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 79 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Gwent
Do I have to clear the site first?

It can be managed. Tell us about the lease terms and any break dates and we will factor them into the timing.
