The allocated and promoted land that interests us around Pwllheli
We are interested in land around Pwllheli at any plan stage, from a first submission to an adopted allocation. Sitting about 19 miles south of Caernarfon, Pwllheli is within Gwynedd, with Porthmadog and Caernarfon close by.
- Sites submitted to a candidate site process (England) or candidate site register (Wales)
- 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
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.
Before we make an offer in Pwllheli
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.
Evidence base
Councils expect technical evidence on deliverability.
Welsh planning policy seeks a net benefit for biodiversity rather than using England's statutory biodiversity net gain metric, so ecology is assessed differently on Welsh sites.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 108 miles from Pwllheli, and we travel to see sites across 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.
Do you buy part of an allocation?
Yes. Where an allocation is split between owners, we can buy or take an option on one part and work with the others.
How quickly can you look at a site in Pwllheli?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
Which planning rules apply to land in Pwllheli?
As Pwllheli 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.
