The garden and backland plots that interests us around Buckley
In parts of Buckley with long gardens or rear lanes, backland plots can work well if the access is wide enough and neighbours are treated fairly. Buckley lies about 2 miles east of Mold in Clwyd. We also cover Mold, Flint, Wrexham and the villages between them.
- Long rear gardens backing onto a lane, road or track
- Several neighbouring gardens that could be combined
- Land behind houses with an existing drive or gap for access
- Sites with or without previous applications
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.
Before we make an offer in Buckley
Local garden policy
Some councils resist garden development; others support it where character is respected.
Your own property
Selling garden land changes your home, so we plan boundaries and access carefully.
Mortgage consent
If your home is mortgaged, the lender will usually need to release the garden land.
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.

Garden and backland plots in Buckley: common questions
Do I pay tax on selling garden land?
Tax depends on your circumstances, including how much land you have and how it has been used. Speak to a tax adviser before you agree terms.
My neighbours might sell too. Does that help?
Often, yes. Combining gardens can create a better site and access. We can talk to each owner and keep the arrangement fair.
Is Buckley too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 65 miles from Buckley, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Which planning rules apply to land in Buckley?
As Buckley 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.
