The redundant buildings that interests us around Bangor
Across Bangor, empty offices, shops and former pubs can find a new life as homes when the building and the planning position line up. Sitting about 8 miles north-east of Caernarfon, Bangor is within Gwynedd, with Llangefni and Caernarfon close by.
- Shops with upper floors or whole retail buildings
- Former pubs, halls, chapels and churches
- Buildings with or without existing consent
- Sites where demolition and rebuilding may be better than conversion
Controls on turning homes into second homes or holiday lets have been introduced in parts of the area, reflecting pressure on local housing. Coastal flood risk under TAN 15, and the A55 corridor along the north coast to Holyhead, influence where larger schemes are most likely to be supported.

Pubs and community buildings may be listed as assets of community value or protected by policy.

Listed buildings and conservation areas need careful design and extra consents.
Parking and amenity
Homes need outdoor space, bins and parking where the council expects it.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 104 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.
