What farmland and paddocks we want near Buckley
Fields that wrap around the edges of Buckley and its neighbouring villages are the farmland we most want to talk about. Buckley is in Clwyd, about 2 miles east of Mold. Nearby places include Mold, Flint and Wrexham.
- Fields and paddocks adjoining a town, village or suburb
- 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
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.
Checks we make on farmland and paddocks in Buckley
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
Landscape
Protected landscapes and sensitive views limit what may be acceptable.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 65 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.
