Farmland and paddocks we are looking for in Caerleon
We are looking for farmland near Caerleon with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the Local Development Plan. Caerleon lies about 4 miles south-east of Cwmbran in Gwent. We also cover Newport, Cwmbran, Risca and the villages between them.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
Gwent covers south-east Wales, from Newport, Cwmbran and Pontypool to the valley towns of Ebbw Vale, Tredegar, Blackwood and Caerphilly and the market towns of Abergavenny, Chepstow and Monmouth. Typical sites include former industrial and colliery land, edge-of-town fields and village infill, with green wedges protecting gaps between settlements. Phosphate limits in the Usk and Wye catchments have held back housing in parts of the area, and the Gwent Levels bring flood and habitat constraints.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Caerleon
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
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 79 miles from Caerleon, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Can I keep farming while you pursue planning?
Yes. Under an option or a conditional contract the land normally stays in your hands, and in use, until completion.
My land is let to a tenant. Can I still sell?
Usually, yes. The type of tenancy decides how and when possession can be obtained, so we look at the agreement early.
Is Caerleon too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 79 miles from Caerleon, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Caerleon assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
