The farmland and paddocks that interests us around Risca
Fields that wrap around the edges of Risca and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. Risca lies about 5 miles south-west of Cwmbran in Gwent. We also cover Abercarn, Newbridge, Bedwas 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
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 Risca works
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
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 82 miles from Risca, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Gwent
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.
How much land do you need?
Anything from a single paddock to larger holdings. Smaller parcels next to villages can be very suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Risca?
As Risca 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 Risca assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
