Allocated and promoted land wanted in Caernarfon
We are actively looking for allocated and promoted land in Caernarfon and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
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.

Is your land in Caernarfon the kind we want?
If your land near Caernarfon appears in the council's plan or its site assessments, send us the reference; it changes the conversation. Caernarfon is the county town of Gwynedd. Nearby places we also cover include Llangefni, Bangor and Porthmadog.
- Land identified in a draft plan or housing land availability assessment
- Sites where the current promoter's agreement has ended
- Parts of larger allocations owned separately
- Land in a neighbourhood plan allocation
Controls on turning homes into second homes or holiday lets have been introduced in parts of the area, reflecting pressure on local housing. Coastal flood risk under TAN 15, and the A55 corridor along the north coast to Holyhead, influence where larger schemes are most likely to be supported.
What decides whether a site in Caernarfon works
Plan stage
An adopted allocation carries more weight than a draft one or a call-for-sites submission.
Shared allocations
Where several owners hold one allocation, collaboration and equalisation matter.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
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 107 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Gwynedd
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.
Do you buy allocated and promoted land in Caernarfon?
Yes. We buy allocated and promoted land in Caernarfon and throughout Gwynedd, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Is Caernarfon too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 107 miles from Caernarfon, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
