What Wales's rules mean for your land
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.
Green belts and green wedges
England's grey belt rules don't apply in Wales. Planning Policy Wales sets out green belt and green wedge policy, which strongly restricts development.
When the land isn't straightforward
Your land is in Wales
Wales has its own green belt and green wedge policies in Planning Policy Wales. The English grey belt rules don't apply there.
Agents have suggested very high values
A price that assumes permission is only real if permission is realistic. We show you how our figure is built.
Useful to send us
- The address or postcode
- A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
- Your title number, if you know it
- How soon you'd ideally like to sell

No. Grey belt is part of England's National Planning Policy Framework. In Wales, green belts and green wedges are governed by Planning Policy Wales.
Will you buy green belt land with no planning prospect?
Possibly, at a price based on its current use. We'll be clear about that rather than implying development value that isn't there.

Your council's local plan policies map shows green belt boundaries. Send us the address or a plan and we'll check.
Do you buy land in Gwent?
Yes. We consider land across Gwent, from Newport to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
