Farmland and paddocks we are looking for in Abergele
We are looking for farmland near Abergele with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the Local Development Plan. Abergele is in Clwyd, about 20 miles north-west of Mold. Nearby places include Rhyl, Colwyn Bay and Prestatyn.
- Parcels from a few acres to whole holdings
- Land put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Land let on a farm business tenancy or grazing licence
- Farmland where the owner wants to keep farming meanwhile
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.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Abergele
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Tenancies
Agricultural tenancies affect when vacant possession can be given; we check the type and terms.
Landscape
Protected landscapes and sensitive views limit what may be acceptable.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 86 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
