Residential development land we are looking for in Abergele
In and around Abergele we are interested in land that sits naturally alongside existing streets, where new homes would read as part of the place. Abergele is in Clwyd, about 20 miles north-west of Mold. Nearby places include Rhyl, Colwyn Bay and Prestatyn.
- Land next to or within an existing town, village or suburb
- Sites with a road frontage or a clear route to one
- Land outside the highest flood risk zones, or where flood risk only affects part of the site
- Sites with or without planning permission, including land promoted in a Local Development Plan
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 Abergele
Access
A safe vehicle access with adequate visibility is often the single biggest make-or-break item.
Flood risk
We check the official flood maps early; land in the highest-risk zones is rarely suitable for homes.
Utilities and drainage
Foul and surface water drainage, and power capacity, affect cost and timing more than most owners expect.
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 86 miles from Abergele, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.
