Redundant buildings wanted in Caldicot
Development Land Wanted buys redundant buildings in Caldicot and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
A redundant building is one whose original use has ended. Many make good homes through conversion, while others are better redeveloped. We look at the building, its planning position and any community or heritage interest before making an offer.

Redundant buildings we are looking for in Caldicot
Across Caldicot, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. In Gwent, Caldicot sits about 12 miles east of Cwmbran; Chepstow and Caerleon are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- 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.
What usually makes or breaks it
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.
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 76 miles from Caldicot, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Which planning rules apply to land in Caldicot?
