Barns and rural buildings we are looking for in Holywell
In the countryside around Holywell, redundant barns and yards can sometimes become homes, depending on the building and the route available. Holywell lies about 8 miles north-west of Mold in Clwyd. We also cover Flint, Mold, Prestatyn and the villages between them.
- Traditional brick or stone barns
- Stable blocks, workshops and rural yards
- Farmyards with several buildings
- Buildings with or without an existing consent
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.
Before we make an offer in Holywell
Structure
Conversion routes usually require the building to be capable of conversion without substantial rebuilding.
Protected species
Bats and barn owls are common in rural buildings and need surveys at the right time of year.
Access and services
Rural buildings often need new access, drainage and power.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 75 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
