Farmland and paddocks wanted in Flint
We are actively looking for farmland and paddocks in Flint and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
A paddock or field next to a village or town may have development potential, even if it has always been farmed. We assess how the land relates to the settlement, its access and the Local Development Plan, then explain which deal would suit.

The farmland and paddocks that interests us around Flint
We are looking for farmland near Flint with a realistic access, ideally land the owner has already put forward to the Local Development Plan. Flint is in Clwyd, about 5 miles north of Mold. Nearby places include Holywell, Mold and Buckley.
- 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.
Before we make an offer in Flint
Relationship to the settlement
Land that reads as an extension of a place is usually more promising than isolated fields.
Farm schemes
Environmental and payment schemes may have obligations to unwind or agree.
Best and most versatile land
High-grade agricultural land can be a factor in planning decisions.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 70 miles from Flint, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Clwyd
My land is let to a tenant. Can I still sell?
Usually, yes. The type of tenancy decides how and when possession can be obtained, so we look at the agreement early.
How much land do you need?
Anything from a single paddock to larger holdings. Smaller parcels next to villages can be very suitable.
Is Flint too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 70 miles from Flint, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Flint?
As Flint is in Wales, national policy comes from Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Local policies in the council's development plan also apply.
