Barns and rural buildings we are looking for in Prestatyn
Farm buildings near Prestatyn that have fallen out of use may suit conversion, particularly traditional barns with a good access. In Clwyd, Prestatyn sits about 16 miles north-west of Mold; Rhyl and Abergele are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Traditional brick or stone barns
- Stable blocks, workshops and rural yards
- Buildings with an existing access to a road
- 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.
What usually makes or breaks it
Planning route
In England, Class Q prior approval may apply to agricultural buildings; in Wales, a full application is usually needed.
Structure
Conversion routes usually require the building to be capable of conversion without substantial rebuilding.
Protected landscapes
National Parks and National Landscapes can restrict permitted development and design.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 83 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
