The garage courts and yards that interests us around Nelson
Across Nelson, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Nelson is in Gwent, about 11 miles west of Cwmbran. Nearby places include Treharris, Gelligaer and Bargoed.
- Lock-up garage blocks, let or empty
- Parking courts behind houses
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
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.
What usually makes or breaks it
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Displaced parking
Councils often want to know where current users will park.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 85 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
