Is your land in Buckley the kind we want?
Around Buckley, strategic sites tend to be the big fields between the built edge and the main roads, where a whole new neighbourhood could be planned. Buckley is in Clwyd, about 2 miles east of Mold. Nearby places include Mold, Flint and Wrexham.
- Land for 50 or more homes next to a town or larger village
- Holdings where neighbouring owners may collaborate
- Land with more than one possible access point
- Sites already being considered by the council
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.
Checks we make on strategic land in Buckley
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 65 miles away, and we buy land throughout England and Wales.

Frequently asked in Clwyd
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.
What if my neighbours own part of the best site?
We can help bring owners together under an equalisation arrangement so value is shared fairly, whoever ends up with the roads or open space.
