Land with planning permission wanted in Brynmawr
We want to hear from owners of land with planning permission in Brynmawr. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
A site with planning permission already has the council's approval for development, so much of the planning risk has gone. If you have consent but no plans to build, or the permission is approaching its time limit, we would like to hear from you.

Land with planning permission we are looking for in Brynmawr
For consented land around Brynmawr, the first things we read are the decision notice, the conditions and any legal agreement attached to the permission. Brynmawr is in Gwent, about 12 miles north-west of Cwmbran. Nearby places include Ebbw Vale, Tredegar and Rhymney.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
- Larger consented schemes where the owner does not want to build
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.
Checks we make on land with planning permission in Brynmawr
Conditions
Pre-commencement conditions, such as drainage or ecology details, must be dealt with before work can lawfully start.
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.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 75 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Land with planning permission in Brynmawr: common questions
My permission expires soon. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Depending on the time left and the conditions, it may be possible to make a lawful start, apply again or vary the scheme. Tell us the expiry date as soon as you can.
Can you buy if the approved scheme is not one you would build?
Yes. Sometimes we buy on the basis of the existing permission and then seek changes through a new or amended application.
Can an agent introduce land in Brynmawr 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.
How quickly can you look at a site in Brynmawr?
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.
