Sites with lapsed or refused planning we are looking for in Caernarfon
We read the planning history of sites across Caernarfon closely; a past refusal often points straight to the fix. As the county town of Gwynedd, Caernarfon anchors the area we cover here, along with Llangefni, Bangor and Porthmadog.
- 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
Gwynedd, as used here, covers north-west Wales and Anglesey, including Bangor, Caernarfon, Holyhead, Llangefni, Porthmadog and Pwllheli. Eryri National Park and the Llŷn and Anglesey National Landscapes cover much of the land, and there is no green belt. Sites tend to be small: edge-of-village land, infill plots, farm buildings and brownfield land in the towns, with Welsh language impact and local housing need often central to decisions.

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.
Technical work
Some refusals turn on drainage, highways or ecology evidence that can be improved.
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.

Sites with lapsed or refused planning in Caernarfon: common questions
My application was refused. Should I appeal or re-apply?
It depends on the reasons and time limits. Sometimes a revised application is better than an appeal. We look at the decision and say what we would do.
My permission lapsed years ago. Is it still relevant?
Yes. An old permission shows the principle was once accepted, though current policy now applies.
Is Caernarfon too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 107 miles from Caernarfon, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Do I need to pay anything to have land in Caernarfon assessed?
No. Our appraisal is free and there is no obligation to sell to us.
