Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Blackwood

The commercial and industrial sites that interests us around Blackwood
Older business land around Blackwood, especially units now surrounded by housing, is the kind of commercial site we would like to discuss. In Gwent, Blackwood sits about 8 miles west of Cwmbran; Bargoed and Gelligaer are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Sites with tenants on short leases or approaching breaks
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
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 decides whether a site in Blackwood works
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 82 miles from Blackwood, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Commercial and industrial sites in Blackwood: common questions
My units are still let. Can you buy?
Yes, in many cases. We look at the leases and break dates and can plan a purchase around them.
Will the council object to losing business land?
Some councils protect employment land. Evidence that the site is no longer needed or suitable for business can help.
Is Blackwood too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 82 miles from Blackwood, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Blackwood assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
