The redundant buildings that interests us around Blackwood
We are interested in buildings around Blackwood that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Sitting about 8 miles west of Cwmbran, Blackwood is within Gwent, with Bargoed and Gelligaer close by.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
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.
Checks we make on redundant buildings in Blackwood
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
Building condition
Structure, layout and light decide whether conversion makes sense.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 82 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
