What redundant buildings we want near Newtown
Redundant buildings in Newtown often sit in the heart of things, close to shops and transport, which can make them strong residential sites. Newtown lies about 19 miles north of Llandrindod Wells in Powys. We also cover Welshpool, Llandrindod Wells, Builth Wells and the villages between them.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Buildings within towns and villages
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.
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.
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 59 miles from Newtown, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
Should I strip out the building before selling?
No. Leave it as it is and tell us about its condition; we will assess it as found.
Is Newtown too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 59 miles from Newtown, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Newtown?
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.
