What redundant buildings we want near Caerphilly
We are interested in buildings around Caerphilly that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. In Gwent, Caerphilly sits about 10 miles south-west of Cwmbran; Bedwas and Risca are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Buildings within towns and villages
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
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 Caerphilly
Community value
Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.
Heritage
Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 87 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

My building is listed. Is that a problem?
Not necessarily, but it means listed building consent as well as planning permission, and design must respect the building's significance.

No. Leave it as it is and tell us about its condition; we will assess it as found.

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.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Caerphilly assessed?
