Sites with lapsed or refused planning wanted in Mold
We are actively looking for sites with lapsed or refused planning in Mold and the surrounding area, with or without planning permission.
A site with lapsed or refused planning has been through the system before without a build starting. That history is useful: it shows what the council liked and what it did not. We buy such sites and look at whether a revised scheme could succeed.

The sites with lapsed or refused planning that interests us around Mold
If a scheme near Mold was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. Mold is the county town of Clwyd. Nearby places we also cover include Buckley, Flint and Holywell.
- 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.
Before we make an offer in Mold
Policy changes
National and local policy may have moved since the last decision, for better or worse.
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.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 67 miles from Mold, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
