What decides the value of land without planning permission near Newport, Gwent
Current use value
Agricultural or amenity value is the floor under any offer.
Hope value
The extra a buyer will pay for the chance of permission, which rises the closer the land is to existing homes.
Access and services
Land that is easy to reach and connect is cheaper to promote and build on.
Constraints
Green belt, flood zones, heritage and landscape designations reduce the chance of consent.

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.
Farm tenancies
Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies apply in Wales as in England, with their own notice and compensation rules.
Awkward details we deal with
The council says the land is outside the settlement
Settlement boundaries change when plans are reviewed. We look at the plan timetable and whether the site could be promoted at the next review.
You don't want to wait years
Then an outright sale at a lower, risk-adjusted price may suit you better, and we will say so.
Useful to send us
- A rough size, in acres or hectares
- Your title number, if you know it
- Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
- Photos of the land and its access
Your questions answered
Who pays for the planning application?
On subject-to-planning and option deals we normally fund the planning work. On an outright purchase it is our risk and our cost after completion.
What happens if planning is refused?
On a conditional contract or option, if permission is not granted within the agreed period the deal ends and you keep the land. Any option fee paid is usually yours to keep.
Will getting permission myself increase the price?
It can, but applications cost money and carry risk. We can talk through whether it makes sense for you to apply or for us to do it under a contract.
