What land without planning permission we want near Caerphilly
Plenty of land around Caerphilly has never had permission. What we look for first is whether new homes would fit with the existing pattern of the place. Caerphilly is in Gwent, about 10 miles south-west of Cwmbran. Nearby places include Bedwas, Risca and Pontypridd.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- Plots within towns and villages that have never been built on
- Land where a previous application was refused for reasons that could be overcome
- Land of any size, including single plots
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.
What decides whether a site in Caerphilly works
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Access and highways
Without a safe access, even well-located land is unlikely to get consent.
Your involvement
You can sell now, sell subject to planning, or grant an option; each asks a different amount of you.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 87 miles from Caerphilly, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Who pays for the planning application?
On a subject-to-planning contract or an option agreement, we normally pay for the application and the reports that go with it. Under an option, agreed costs may later be deducted from the price; any deduction is capped and set out in the heads of terms.
Do you buy land with no planning outright?
Sometimes. If we are confident about the planning route we can buy outright, which gives you certainty sooner but reflects the risk we take on.
Is Caerphilly too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 87 miles from Caerphilly, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Caerphilly?
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.
