Strategic land wanted in Abergele
We want to hear from owners of strategic land in Abergele. There is nothing to pay us, and you are under no obligation.

Is your land in Abergele the kind we want?
If you own a substantial holding near Abergele, the council's plan timetable will shape when and how it could be promoted. In Clwyd, Abergele sits about 20 miles north-west of Mold; Rhyl and Colwyn Bay are its nearest neighbours on our list.
- Land for 50 or more homes next to a town or larger village
- Sites that could form part of a Local Development Plan allocation
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
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.
What usually makes or breaks it
Local Development Plan timing
Strategic sites usually move with the plan cycle, so we look at where the council is in its review.
Land assembly
Larger schemes often need several owners to agree a fair way to share value.
Promotion costs
Technical studies and plan representations cost money; under an option we pay them up front, and any recovery from the price is capped in the heads of terms.
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.
Our base is in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 86 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Your questions answered
How long does strategic land take?
Often several years, because it may need a Local Development Plan allocation and then an outline permission. We are honest about timing for each site.
Do I need to do anything while the land is promoted?
Usually very little beyond signing representations and allowing surveys. You normally keep using the land.
Is Abergele too far from our Birmingham base?
No. We are based in Great Barr, Birmingham, about 86 miles from Abergele, and we look at land right across England and Wales.
Can an agent introduce land in Abergele to you?
Yes. Estate agents, land agents and planning consultants can introduce sites with the owner's consent. Any fee is agreed in writing before details are shared, confirmed by the owner in writing and paid only on completion.
