Brownfield land we are looking for in Abergele
In Abergele, the brownfield sites we look at are often tucked behind main roads or alongside older housing, close to services. Abergele lies about 20 miles north-west of Mold in Clwyd. We also cover Rhyl, Colwyn Bay, Prestatyn and the villages between them.
- Cleared sites and land with hardstanding
- Yards and builders' compounds within towns
- Land with buildings that would be demolished
- Sites with known contamination where the history is documented
Clwyd covers north-east Wales, from Wrexham, Deeside, Buckley, Mold and Flint to the coastal towns of Rhyl, Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno and the market towns of the Vale of Clwyd. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, former industrial land around Deeside and Wrexham, farm buildings and village infill. There is no grey belt in Wales, but Future Wales anticipates a green belt around Wrexham and Deeside, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape is a major constraint.
What decides whether a site in Abergele works
Contamination
Past uses can leave contamination; desk studies and site investigation show what remediation is needed.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from neighbouring businesses can affect whether homes are acceptable.
Employment land policy
Some councils protect employment land; we check whether a change to housing would be resisted.
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 86 miles from Abergele, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Will contamination stop a sale?
Not usually. It affects cost and the work needed, which we allow for. Any reports you already have help us give a firmer view sooner.
My site is still let to a tenant. Is that a problem?
It can be managed. Tell us about the lease terms and any break dates and we will factor them into the timing.
Is Abergele too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 86 miles from Abergele, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Abergele assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
