Questions owners in Chepstow ask
Is brownfield land easier to get planning on?
National policy in England and Wales supports making good use of previously developed land, but each site still needs to meet local policies.
My site is still let to a tenant. Is that a problem?
It can be managed. Tell us about the lease terms and any break dates and we will factor them into the timing.
Which planning rules apply to land in Chepstow?
As Chepstow 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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Chepstow assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
