If the site has a viable current use, that sets the floor for an offer.
Neighbouring uses
Noise or smells from nearby businesses affect design and value.

Planning and legal points for land in Gwynedd
Planning framework
Planning in Wales follows Planning Policy Wales, the national plan Future Wales and the Local Development Plan, prepared by the council or, in a national park, the park authority. When plans are reviewed, landowners can put land forward as a candidate site.
Section 106 and CIL
Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.
Previously developed land
Welsh policy prefers reusing suitable previously developed land in sustainable locations before greenfield sites.
Flood risk
Natural Resources Wales flood maps and Technical Advice Note 15 guide where new homes can go. Phosphate limits in some river catchments have also affected new housing.
Common problems, and how we handle them
You're worried about contamination liability
Contracts can deal with who takes responsibility for contamination. Take advice from your solicitor on the wording.
A previous buyer pulled out after surveys
We'd like to see any reports. Problems can often be priced rather than walked away from.

Common questions
Do you buy contaminated land?
Yes. We investigate and price the remediation, so you don't need to clean the site first.
Is it easier to get planning on brownfield land?
National policy in England and Wales gives weight to reusing suitable brownfield land, so the starting point is often positive. Each site is still judged on its merits.
Will you buy a site with tenants?
Yes. We look at the leases and how and when vacant possession can be achieved.
Do you buy land in Gwynedd?
Yes. We consider land across Gwynedd, from Bangor to the smaller towns and villages. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, and we'll tell you either way.
