Sites with lapsed or refused planning wanted in Prestatyn
We want to hear from owners of sites with lapsed or refused planning in Prestatyn. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.
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.

Is your land in Prestatyn the kind we want?
If a scheme near Prestatyn was refused or ran out of time, the officer's report usually shows what a better application would need. In Clwyd, Prestatyn sits about 16 miles north-west of Mold; Rhyl and Abergele are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Sites where planning permission has expired
- Land refused for design, access or technical reasons
- Sites where an appeal was dismissed on specific points
- Land with an old permission that was never started
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 Prestatyn works
Reasons for refusal
The wording of each reason tells us what would need to change.
Policy changes
National and local policy may have moved since the last decision, for better or worse.
Time since decision
The longer ago the decision, the more the context may have changed.
Welsh planning policy seeks a net benefit for biodiversity rather than using England's statutory biodiversity net gain metric, so ecology is assessed differently on Welsh sites.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 83 miles from Prestatyn, and we travel to see sites 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.
How do you decide if a site is worth another attempt?
We look at the reasons for refusal, any appeal, current policy and the technical evidence, then give a straight view.

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.
Which planning rules apply to land in Prestatyn?
