Brownfield land we are looking for in Newtown
In Newtown, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Newtown lies about 19 miles north of Llandrindod Wells in Powys. We also cover Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and the villages between them.
- 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
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.
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.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 59 miles from Newtown, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
