Residential development land wanted in Deganwy
Development Land Wanted buys residential development land in Deganwy and right across England and Wales. Owners and agents are both welcome.
Residential development land means a site with a credible route to new homes. Planning permission is not essential: much of the land we want has none yet. What matters is location, access and whether local policy could support housing in the next few years.

Is your land in Deganwy the kind we want?
In and around Deganwy we are interested in land that sits naturally alongside existing streets, where new homes would read as part of the place. Deganwy lies about 30 miles west of Mold in Clwyd. We also cover Llandudno, Colwyn Bay, Abergele and the villages between them.
- 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
- Single plots, small sites, medium sites and larger strategic land
Clwyd covers north-east Wales, from Wrexham, Deeside, Buckley, Mold and Flint to the coastal towns of Rhyl, Prestatyn, Colwyn Bay and Llandudno and the market towns of the Vale of Clwyd. Typical sites include edge-of-town fields, former industrial land around Deeside and Wrexham, farm buildings and village infill. There is no grey belt in Wales, but Future Wales anticipates a green belt around Wrexham and Deeside, and the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley National Landscape is a major constraint.
Checks we make on residential development land in Deganwy
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 a planning permission usually lasts five years before work must begin, and land purchases are subject to Land Transaction Tax rather than Stamp Duty Land Tax.
We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, around 96 miles from Deganwy, and we travel to see sites across England and Wales.

Your questions answered
Does my land need planning permission before you will look at it?
No. Most residential land we are asked about has no planning yet. We look at policy, access and constraints and tell you whether we think a permission is realistic, and which way of selling suits the risk.
Can I sell part of my land and keep the rest?
Often, yes. We can look at selling an agreed area, with access and boundaries set out so the land you keep is not left landlocked.
Is Deganwy too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 96 miles from Deganwy, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
How quickly can you look at a site in Deganwy?
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.
