Sites with lapsed or refused planning we are looking for in Porthmadog

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.
What decides whether a site in Porthmadog works
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.
In Wales, planning decisions are guided by Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040, with land for housing identified through each council's Local Development Plan, including candidate site stages when plans are reviewed.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 97 miles from Porthmadog, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
