Commercial and industrial sites wanted in Colwyn Bay
Development Land Wanted buys commercial and industrial sites in Colwyn Bay and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
Older commercial and industrial land within towns is often better suited to homes than to modern business. We are interested in units, yards and estates where redevelopment for housing is realistic.

Commercial and industrial sites we are looking for in Colwyn Bay
We look at yards and units across Colwyn Bay where the business use has run its course or the site sits awkwardly among houses. In Clwyd, Colwyn Bay sits about 26 miles west of Mold; Deganwy and Llandudno are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Industrial units and yards within residential areas
- Commercial land that is vacant or underused
- Builders' yards, depots and storage land
- Land where employment use has been marketed without success
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.
Before we make an offer in Colwyn Bay
Employment land protection
Councils often protect business land; evidence of marketing or lack of demand can matter.
Leases
Tenancies and their protection affect when the site can be redeveloped.
Contamination
Past industrial uses usually need investigation.
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 92 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Commercial and industrial sites in Colwyn Bay: common questions
My units are still let. Can you buy?
Yes, in many cases. We look at the leases and break dates and can plan a purchase around them.
Do I need to market the site first?
Not to sell to us. Marketing evidence can, however, support a planning case for change of use.
Is Colwyn Bay too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 92 miles from Colwyn Bay, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Colwyn Bay to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
