If you want to keep your house and step back from the development, you can sell the plot to us, with or without planning, or agree a sale subject to planning, an option, promotion or a joint venture.

The planning picture in Gwent
Nationally, PPW sets the framework that every council in Wales works within. Locally, each planning authority across Gwent applies its own LDP policies and design guidance, which is why two similar gardens a few miles apart can get different answers. The councils here include Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, Caerphilly County Borough Council, Monmouthshire County Council, Newport City Council and Torfaen County Borough Council. Before any money is spent on drawings, we check which policies apply to your address, whether the council has published guidance on garden land, and how decisions on similar plots have gone. That research is part of the free appraisal.
Planning authorities: Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, Caerphilly County Borough Council, Monmouthshire County Council, Newport City Council, Torfaen County Borough Council.

Questions about garden plots in Gwent
Which council decides planning for a garden plot in Gwent?
The council for your address decides. The planning authorities covering Gwent include Blaenau Gwent County Borough Council, Caerphilly County Borough Council, Monmouthshire County Council, Newport City Council and Torfaen County Borough Council. Each judges applications against its own LDP and Planning Policy Wales (PPW), together with its design guidance. We prepare and submit the application and deal with the council’s questions, but the decision is always the council’s, never ours.
How long does planning take for a garden plot in Gwent?
The council usually has eight weeks from validation to decide a small application, though extensions are often agreed, and the whole process takes longer. Surveys, design work, pre-application advice and amendments all add time, and some ecology surveys can only be done at certain times of year. We’ll give you a realistic timetable for your plot rather than a promise.
How much is a garden plot in Gwent worth?
It depends on location, size, access, title and, above all, planning. Two similar gardens in the same street can be worth very different amounts if one has easy access and the other doesn’t. We don’t quote figures before we’ve looked at a plot properly; the free appraisal is the way to find out.
Do you buy garden plots in Gwent?
Yes. We buy suitable garden plots across Gwent directly, with or without planning permission, always subject to survey, title and contract. We also offer sales subject to planning, options, planning promotion and joint ventures. Which route fits depends on your plot, so the starting point is a free, no-obligation appraisal.
