Land without planning permission wanted in Pontypool
We want to hear from owners of land without planning permission in Pontypool. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Having no planning permission does not rule land out. Many good development sites start as fields or yards with no consent. We look at local policy, access and constraints, then explain the options, including deals where we take on the planning work.

Is your land in Pontypool the kind we want?
Near Pontypool, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan. Pontypool lies about 3 miles north of Cwmbran in Gwent. We also cover Cwmbran, Abertillery, Newbridge and the villages between them.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- Land the owner has put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- 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.
Before we make an offer in Pontypool
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Who pays for planning
Applications, surveys and reports cost money; on conditional and option deals we normally pay for them up front, and any costs deducted from the price are agreed and capped.
Your involvement
You can sell now, sell subject to planning, or grant an option; each asks a different amount of you.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 76 miles from Pontypool, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
