Is your land in Holywell the kind we want?

- Sites submitted to a candidate site process (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
The A55 coast road and the Wrexham to Bidston and North Wales Coast rail lines link the main towns with Chester and Merseyside. Coastal flood risk under TAN 15 is significant around Rhyl and Prestatyn, and phosphate limits in parts of the River Dee catchment have affected some schemes.
What usually makes or breaks it
Allocation requirements
Allocation policies often set numbers, access, infrastructure and design expectations.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
Parts of Wales lie in river catchments where phosphate levels in protected rivers affect new housing, so drainage and nutrient solutions can be an early question.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 75 miles from Holywell, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
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.
My land was under an option that expired. Can you take over?
Yes, if the earlier agreement has properly ended. We will want to see it to confirm there is no continuing exclusivity.
Is Holywell too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 75 miles from Holywell, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Holywell assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
