Is your land in Gelligaer the kind we want?
We are interested in buildings around Gelligaer that have outlived their original use, whether they would be converted or replaced. Gelligaer is in Gwent, about 10 miles west of Cwmbran. Nearby places include Nelson, Bargoed and Blackwood.
- Vacant offices and commercial buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
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.
What decides whether a site in Gelligaer works
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 84 miles from Gelligaer, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
