Land without planning permission we are looking for in Pwllheli
Near Pwllheli, land without planning is worth discussing where it adjoins existing homes or has been put forward to the council's plan. Pwllheli is in Gwynedd, about 19 miles south of Caernarfon. Nearby places include Porthmadog, Caernarfon and Llangefni.
- Fields and paddocks next to existing settlements
- Land the owner has put forward to a Local Development Plan candidate site process
- Sites with a road frontage or a realistic access
- Land of any size, including single plots
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.
Checks we make on land without planning permission in Pwllheli
Policy direction
National and local policy decides how a fresh application would be judged, so we read both before advising.
Timescale
Getting permission can take months or years; we are honest about that from the start.
Your involvement
You can sell now, sell subject to planning, or grant an option; each asks a different amount of you.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 108 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Gwynedd
Who pays for the planning application?
On a subject-to-planning contract or an option agreement, we normally pay for the application and the reports that go with it. Under an option, agreed costs may later be deducted from the price; any deduction is capped and set out in the heads of terms.
Do you buy land with no planning outright?
Sometimes. If we are confident about the planning route we can buy outright, which gives you certainty sooner but reflects the risk we take on.
Do you buy land without planning permission in Pwllheli?
Yes. We buy land without planning permission in Pwllheli and throughout Gwynedd, as well as elsewhere in England and Wales. Tell us where the land is and we will give you a free appraisal.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Pwllheli assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
