- Small service yards and compounds
- Courts where some garages are let on licences
- Land with or without planning history
Controls on turning homes into second homes or holiday lets have been introduced in parts of the area, reflecting pressure on local housing. Coastal flood risk under TAN 15, and the A55 corridor along the north coast to Holyhead, influence where larger schemes are most likely to be supported.
