What sites with lapsed or refused planning we want near Abergele
Sites around Abergele with an old refusal can be worth a second look, especially where local or national policy has since changed. Sitting about 20 miles north-west of Mold, Abergele is within Clwyd, with Rhyl and Colwyn Bay close by.
- Sites where planning permission has expired
- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Plots where policy has changed since the last decision
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 Abergele works
Reasons for refusal

Appeal history
An inspector's decision carries weight in future applications.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
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.
Though we are based in Birmingham (roughly 86 miles away), distance is no barrier: we look at land across England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Clwyd
Does a refusal make the land worth less?
It can affect value, but often the reasons can be addressed. Policy may also have changed since the decision.

No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 86 miles from Abergele, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Abergele to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
