Overgrown gap site between two stone-and-brick cottages on a village street

Land we're keen to see around Blackwood

Gaps in a continuous street frontage
Plots between two houses in a village or town
Sites within a settlement boundary
Village plots where small-scale infill is supported by policy

Gap sites in villages and towns often have a clear case for a new home, because they complete a street rather than extend it.

What decides the value of infill plots near Blackwood

Street character

Design must fit the street, especially in conservation areas.

Local plan policy

Some rural policies allow infill of one or two homes in small villages.

Neighbours

Windows and gardens next door limit the size and position of the house.

Services

Infill sites usually have services close by, which helps value.

Choosing how to sell

Subject-to-planning sale

The usual route for unconsented gap sites.

Joint ventures

Possible for a pair of homes if you'd like a share.

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.

Heritage

Listed buildings and scheduled monuments in Wales are managed with Cadw and the council's conservation officers.

When the land isn't straightforward

Part of the gap belongs to a neighbour

Combining land can make a better plot. We can approach the neighbour with you.

There's an old right of way across it

We check the deeds and the public rights of way map before pricing.

Useful to send us

A rough size, in acres or hectares
Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

How wide does an infill plot need to be?

There's no fixed width. It depends on the house type, the street and whether parking is needed at the front.

Will you buy a gap site with a derelict garage on it?

Yes. We'll allow for demolition and any clean-up.

Can you check the conservation area rules for me?

Yes. We look at the council's conservation area appraisal as part of our assessment.

Do you cover the villages around Blackwood?

Yes. Villages between Blackwood, Gelligaer and Risca often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
