Sell an infill plot or gap site in Gelligaer

Whether your land is in Gelligaer itself or in the villages between Gelligaer and Blackwood, we'll look at it properly before making any offer.

An infill plot is a small gap in an otherwise built-up street frontage, between existing homes or buildings. Because it continues an established pattern of development, an infill plot is often one of the more straightforward small sites to get permission for.

Questions from landowners near Gelligaer

Is infill easier to get permission for?

Often, because it continues the existing street pattern. Policy varies by council, especially in villages.

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.

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 Gelligaer?

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