Sites with lapsed or refused planning wanted in Newtown
We want to hear from owners of sites with lapsed or refused planning in Newtown. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Land with a lapsed consent or a refusal is not a dead end. We read the decision, the officer's report and any appeal history to judge whether a fresh approach could work.

Is your land in Newtown the kind we want?
We read the planning history of sites across Newtown closely; a past refusal often points straight to the fix. In Powys, Newtown sits about 19 miles north of Llandrindod Wells; Welshpool and Llandrindod Wells are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Withdrawn applications
- Land with an old permission that was never started
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
Most new homes are planned in the market towns and larger villages, with smaller sites, farm buildings and infill plots in rural communities. Flood risk under TAN 15 in the Severn and Wye valleys, and the Cambrian Line and Heart of Wales Line rail corridors, also influence where development is supported.

Policy changes
National and local policy may have moved since the last decision, for better or worse.
Appeal history
An inspector's decision carries weight in future applications.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
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.

Your questions answered
Does a refusal make the land worth less?
It can affect value, but often the reasons can be addressed. Policy may also have changed since the decision.
My permission lapsed years ago. Is it still relevant?
Yes. An old permission shows the principle was once accepted, though current policy now applies.

Yes. We buy sites with lapsed or refused planning in Newtown and throughout Powys, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
