Garden and backland plots we are looking for in Bedwas
In parts of Bedwas with long gardens or rear lanes, backland plots can work well if the access is wide enough and neighbours are treated fairly. Sitting about 9 miles south-west of Cwmbran, Bedwas is within Gwent, with Caerphilly and Risca close by.
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane, road or track
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Plots where the owner wants to keep their house
- Sites with or without previous applications
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.

Garden and backland plots in Bedwas: common questions
Will selling part of my garden affect my house value?
It can, and the effect varies. We plan the boundary and access to protect your home, and you should take independent advice on the overall position.
My neighbours might sell too. Does that help?
Often, yes. Combining gardens can create a better site and access. We can talk to each owner and keep the arrangement fair.
How quickly can you look at a site in Bedwas?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Bedwas?
As Bedwas 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.
