Residential development land wanted in Ebbw Vale
We want to hear from owners of residential development land in Ebbw Vale. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
Residential development land means a site with a credible route to new homes. Planning permission is not essential: much of the land we want has none yet. What matters is location, access and whether local policy could support housing in the next few years.

The residential development land that interests us around Ebbw Vale
In and around Ebbw Vale we are interested in land that sits naturally alongside existing streets, where new homes would read as part of the place. Sitting about 12 miles north-west of Cwmbran, Ebbw Vale is within Gwent, with Tredegar and Brynmawr close by.
- Land next to or within an existing town, village or suburb
- Sites with a road frontage or a clear route to one
- Sites with or without planning permission, including land promoted in a Local Development Plan
- Single plots, small sites, medium sites and larger strategic land
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.
Before we make an offer in Ebbw Vale
Access
A safe vehicle access with adequate visibility is often the single biggest make-or-break item.
Flood risk
We check the official flood maps early; land in the highest-risk zones is rarely suitable for homes.
Utilities and drainage
Foul and surface water drainage, and power capacity, affect cost and timing more than most owners expect.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 77 miles from Ebbw Vale, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

We look at single building plots as well as larger sites. Small sites can be very worthwhile, particularly infill land within towns and villages.

Yes. If we think the site has no realistic route to homes we will say so and, where we can, explain why.

Which planning rules apply to land in Ebbw Vale?
As Ebbw Vale is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
