Strategic land wanted in Chepstow
We are actively looking for strategic land in Chepstow and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
Strategic land means sites big enough to need long-term promotion, infrastructure and often a Local Development Plan allocation. Owners typically keep the land while it is promoted and are paid when planning is secured and the land is sold.

Is your land in Chepstow the kind we want?
Larger landholdings on the approaches to Chepstow are where strategic land usually comes from, particularly near transport links. In Gwent, Chepstow sits about 15 miles east of Cwmbran; Caldicot and Monmouth are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land for 50 or more homes next to a town or larger village
- Land near railway stations or good bus routes
- Holdings where neighbouring owners may collaborate
- Sites already being considered by the council
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.
Checks we make on strategic land in Chepstow
Local Development Plan timing
Strategic sites usually move with the plan cycle, so we look at where the council is in its review.
Infrastructure
Schools, roads, drainage and power capacity shape what a large site must provide.
Land assembly
Larger schemes often need several owners to agree a fair way to share value.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 71 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Strategic land in Chepstow: common questions
What if my neighbours own part of the best site?
We can help bring owners together under an equalisation arrangement so value is shared fairly, whoever ends up with the roads or open space.
Will I be paid anything before planning?
Under an option, owners are usually paid a premium on signing, with the main payment when the land is sold after planning.
