Allocated and promoted land wanted in Colwyn Bay
Development Land Wanted buys allocated and promoted land in Colwyn Bay and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
Allocated land is identified for development in an adopted Local Development Plan (England) or Local Development Plan (Wales). Promoted land has been put forward through a candidate site process or candidate site process. Both are strong signals of potential, and we buy or take options on such land.

What allocated and promoted land we want near Colwyn Bay
We are interested in land around Colwyn Bay at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Colwyn Bay lies about 26 miles west of Mold in Clwyd. We also cover Deganwy, Llandudno, Abergele and the villages between them.
- Land allocated for housing in an adopted plan
- Sites submitted to a candidate site process (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Clwyd covers north-east Wales, from Wrexham, Deeside, Buckley, Mold and Flint to the coastal towns of Rhyl, Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno and the market towns of the Vale of Clwyd. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, former industrial land around Deeside and Wrexham, farm buildings and village infill. There is no grey belt in Wales, but Future Wales anticipates a green belt around Wrexham and Deeside, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape is a major constraint.
What decides whether a site in Colwyn Bay works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Existing agreements
Land may already be under option or promotion; we check for exclusivity.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 92 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Questions owners in Colwyn Bay ask
My land is in a candidate site process. Does that mean it will be allocated?
No. A submission only means the council will assess it. Good technical evidence and a clear access plan improve the chances.
Is there an equivalent of a candidate site process in Wales?
Yes. Welsh councils run candidate site stages when preparing or reviewing their Local Development Plans.
Is Colwyn Bay too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 92 miles from Colwyn Bay, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Colwyn Bay?
As Colwyn Bay is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
