Rules that apply in Wales
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Garden land
Councils in Wales judge garden development against their Local Development Plan policies on character and amenity.
Land registration
HM Land Registry covers Wales as well as England. Unregistered land needs first registration when it's sold.
Common problems, and how we handle them
You're worried about losing privacy
We can agree a design that protects your home, and conditions in the contract can set limits.
Neighbours may object
Objections are judged against policy. A careful design reduces genuine impact.

Questions from landowners near Chepstow
Do I need planning permission to sell garden land?
Not to sell it, but planning permission is what gives the land its value, so we usually buy subject to planning.
Who pays for the planning application?
On a subject-to-planning deal, we do.
Can you build the house while I still live next door?
Yes. Construction rules, working hours and site management keep disruption down, and we'll agree access arrangements with you.
Do you buy land in Chepstow?
Yes. We consider land in and around Chepstow and across Gwent. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
