The garage courts and yards that interests us around Colwyn Bay
Across Colwyn Bay, lock-up blocks that are half empty can be a better use of land as homes, with parking handled sensibly. Colwyn Bay is in Clwyd, about 26 miles west of Mold. Nearby places include Deganwy, Llandudno and Abergele.
- Small service yards and compounds
- Sites reached by a shared drive or lane
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
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.
What decides whether a site in Colwyn Bay works
Access rights
Neighbours may have rights to pass over the court to reach their own land.
Displaced parking
Councils often want to know where current users will park.
Overlooking
Courts are usually close to existing homes, so design must protect privacy.
In Wales a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 92 miles from Colwyn Bay, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
