What small sites we want near Bangor
We want to hear about plots for a few homes anywhere around Bangor, including ones a larger builder has already turned down. Bangor lies about 8 miles north-east of Caernarfon in Gwynedd. We also cover Llangefni, Caernarfon, Deganwy and the villages between them.
- Small fields or paddocks next to villages
- Garage blocks and small yards
- Sites where an earlier application can be improved
- Land within or touching a settlement boundary
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.
Before we make an offer in Bangor
Design fit
A small scheme has to suit the street and the neighbours.
Access
Even small sites need a safe access and parking.
Affordable housing thresholds
In England affordable housing is usually only sought on schemes of ten or more homes; in Wales many councils seek contributions from smaller sites, sometimes a single home.
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.
