Sell land with planning permission in Blackwood

Selling land with planning permission near Blackwood doesn't have to start with an agent and a marketing campaign. You can talk to a buyer first and still take independent advice before you decide.

A site with a live planning permission is the simplest land to sell. The main questions are whether the permission is still valid, what its conditions require and how much the Section 106 agreement costs to deliver.

  • No commission: we're the buyer
  • No pressure to decide
  • Independent advice encouraged

How we arrive at a figure for land in Gwent

Type of permission

Full permission carries less risk than outline, which still needs reserved matters approval.

Time left on the permission

A permission close to expiry may need a quick start or a fresh application, and that affects price.

Section 106 and CIL

Affordable housing and financial contributions come straight off what a buyer can pay.

Abnormal costs

Retaining walls, drainage works or contamination add cost beyond a normal build.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

The usual route for consented land: agree a price, then exchange and complete.

Subject-to-planning sale

Useful if you want us to improve or renew the permission before completion.

Option agreements

Rarely needed once consent exists, but can suit phased sites.

Joint ventures

An option if you would like a share of the profit from building the homes.

What happens next

  1. Tell us about your land

    Send the postcode or address and a rough size.

  2. We check it properly

    Title, planning history, access, flood maps and local policy.

  3. We put an offer in writing

    It shows how we got there. There's no obligation to accept.

  4. The legal work

    Your solicitor and ours handle the contract through to completion.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

Biodiversity

Wales doesn't use England's 10% net gain metric. Planning Policy Wales expects development to deliver a net benefit for biodiversity.

Agricultural buildings

England's Class Q rights don't apply in Wales. Converting a barn to a home in Wales generally needs planning permission.

Section 106 and CIL

Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.

When the land isn't straightforward

The permission is about to expire

In England a full permission normally lasts three years and in Wales five. We check whether a lawful start has been made or whether a new application is the better route.

The conditions look onerous

Some conditions are routine and some are expensive. We price each one so you can see what is driving the offer.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • Your title number, if you know it
  • Any planning applications or letters
  • Photos of the land and its access

Common questions

How long does planning permission last?

In England, full planning permission usually requires work to start within three years, and in Wales within five, unless the decision notice says otherwise. Outline permissions have separate time limits for reserved matters. The decision notice sets out the exact dates.

Can you buy if I only have outline permission?

Yes. We will price the reserved matters work and the risk that the detailed design changes the number or type of homes.

Do you pay more for full permission?

Usually, because there is less risk and less work before building can start. How much more depends on the conditions and obligations attached.

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.
