Sites with lapsed or refused planning we are looking for in Buckley
We read the planning history of sites across Buckley closely; a past refusal often points straight to the fix. Buckley lies about 2 miles east of Mold in Clwyd. We also cover Mold, Flint, Wrexham and the villages between them.
- Sites where planning permission has expired
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Withdrawn applications
- Land with an old permission that was never started
Clwyd covers north-east Wales, from Wrexham, Deeside, Buckley, Mold and Flint to the coastal towns of Rhyl, Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno and the market towns of the Vale of Clwyd. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, former industrial land around Deeside and Wrexham, farm buildings and village infill. There is no grey belt in Wales, but Future Wales anticipates a green belt around Wrexham and Deeside, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape is a major constraint.
What usually makes or breaks it
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Technical work
Some refusals turn on drainage, highways or ecology evidence that can be improved.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
Flood risk in Wales is assessed under Technical Advice Note 15 and the Flood Map for Planning, which can be decisive for land near rivers and the coast.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 65 miles from Buckley, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
