Infill plots wanted in Monmouth
We are actively looking for infill plots in Monmouth and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Infill plots fill a gap in an existing street. They are usually small, but because they sit within built-up areas the planning case can be good. We buy infill land across England and Wales, with or without consent.

What infill plots we want near Monmouth
Around Monmouth, infill plots are often side gardens or gaps left between older houses; the street's character usually sets the design. Sitting about 17 miles north-east of Cwmbran, Monmouth is within Gwent, with Chepstow and Abergavenny close by.
- Side gardens with their own road frontage
- Corner plots within built-up areas
- Small yards or garages between houses
- Land with or without an earlier 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.
Before we make an offer in Monmouth
Character of the street
New homes need to suit the building line, height and spacing of the street.
Neighbours' amenity
Overlooking, loss of light and outlook are the issues planners weigh most often.
Trees
Protected trees or trees in a conservation area can limit what fits.
Welsh planning policy seeks a net benefit for biodiversity rather than using England's statutory biodiversity net gain metric, so ecology is assessed differently on Welsh sites.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 61 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
