Is your land in Newbridge the kind we want?
Small sites in and around Newbridge are central to what we look for, from corner plots to the odd field on the edge of a nearby village. Newbridge lies about 5 miles west of Cwmbran in Gwent. We also cover Abercarn, Blackwood, Risca and the villages between them.
- Corner plots and side gardens with road frontage
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Plots with consent for one to nine homes
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
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 usually makes or breaks it
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Drainage
Sustainable drainage and sewer connections can still be significant on small sites.
Welsh planning policy seeks a net benefit for biodiversity rather than using England's statutory biodiversity net gain metric, so ecology is assessed differently on Welsh sites.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 80 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Questions owners in Newbridge ask
Do small sites need affordable housing?
In England, affordable housing is generally sought on major development of ten or more homes, though some rural areas set lower thresholds. In Wales, many Local Development Plans seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes from a single home.
Can you buy a single building plot?
Yes. Single plots, with or without consent, are part of what we buy.
Is Newbridge too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 80 miles from Newbridge, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Newbridge?
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.
