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 decides whether a site in Abercarn works
Planning obligations
Section 106 contributions, affordable housing and any Community Infrastructure Levy all affect what the land is worth to a builder.
Scheme design
Some approved layouts are hard to build or sell; others can be improved with a fresh application.
Title and access
Consent does not cure title problems, so rights of access and covenants still need checking.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 81 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Abercarn ask
Do I need to discharge the conditions before selling?
No. Many sites are sold with conditions still outstanding. We look at what is left to do and allow for it.
Will the Section 106 obligations transfer to the buyer?
Planning obligations usually run with the land, so they bind whoever owns it. We review them as part of our due diligence.
Is Abercarn too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 81 miles from Abercarn, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Abercarn to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
