Land with planning permission wanted in Pwllheli
Development Land Wanted buys land with planning permission in Pwllheli and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.

Land with planning permission we are looking for in Pwllheli
If you hold a consent in or near Pwllheli, send us the decision notice and the approved drawings; that is usually enough for a first view. Pwllheli is in Gwynedd, about 19 miles south of Caernarfon. Nearby places include Porthmadog, Caernarfon and Llangefni.
- Outline permissions, full permissions and approved reserved matters
- Consents with a Section 106 agreement or Community Infrastructure Levy liability
- Sites where some pre-commencement conditions are still to be discharged
- Single plots with consent for one or two homes
Gwynedd, as used here, covers north-west Wales and Anglesey, including Bangor, Caernarfon, Holyhead, Llangefni, Porthmadog and Pwllheli. Eryri National Park and the Llŷn and Anglesey National Landscapes cover much of the land, and there is no green belt. Sites tend to be small: edge-of-village land, infill plots, farm buildings and brownfield land in the towns, with Welsh language impact and local housing need often central to decisions.
Checks we make on land with planning permission in Pwllheli
Time limit
Permissions normally have to be started within a set period, so the date the consent expires matters a great deal.
Conditions
Pre-commencement conditions, such as drainage or ecology details, must be dealt with before work can lawfully start.
Scheme design
Some approved layouts are hard to build or sell; others can be improved with a fresh application.
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 108 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
My permission expires soon. Is it too late?
Not necessarily. Depending on the time left and the conditions, it may be possible to make a lawful start, apply again or vary the scheme. Tell us the expiry date as soon as you can.
Will the Section 106 obligations transfer to the buyer?
Planning obligations usually run with the land, so they bind whoever owns it. We review them as part of our due diligence.
Is Pwllheli too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 108 miles from Pwllheli, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Pwllheli?
For most sites we can give an initial view once we have the location and a plan. Detailed checks follow if the land looks suitable.
