What makes land without planning permission near Llandudno worth an offer

  • Fields and paddocks on the edge of settlements
  • Sites the council has assessed in its land availability study
  • Land with a road frontage or a clear way to create access
  • Former orchards, nurseries and smallholdings

If you'd rather not wait for planning, an outright sale gives certainty now. If you can wait, a subject-to-planning or option deal usually pays more in the end.

What affects the price

Hope value

The extra a buyer will pay for the chance of permission, which rises the closer the land is to existing homes.

Local plan position

Land allocated, or close to being allocated, for housing carries far more hope value.

Access and services

Land that is easy to reach and connect is cheaper to promote and build on.

Deal structure

Conditional and option deals can pay more because the price is fixed against value with permission.

Planning and legal points for land in Clwyd

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.

Green belts and green wedges

England's grey belt rules don't apply in Wales. Planning Policy Wales sets out green belt and green wedge policy, which strongly restricts development.

Farm tenancies

Agricultural Holdings Act tenancies and farm business tenancies apply in Wales as in England, with their own notice and compensation rules.

Common problems, and how we handle them

The council says the land is outside the settlement

Settlement boundaries change when plans are reviewed. We look at the plan timetable and whether the site could be promoted at the next review.

You don't want to wait years

Then an outright sale at a lower, risk-adjusted price may suit you better, and we will say so.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map

Common questions

Can I sell land without planning permission?

Yes. Land without consent is bought and sold every day. The question is whether you want a lower price now or a higher price later that depends on permission being granted.

What happens if planning is refused?

On a conditional contract or option, if permission is not granted within the agreed period the deal ends and you keep the land. Any option fee paid is usually yours to keep.

Do you buy land in the green belt?

Sometimes. Green belt land is hard to develop, though England's planning policy now recognises 'grey belt' land. We will tell you frankly whether your site has a realistic prospect.

Do you buy land in Llandudno?

Yes. We consider land in and around Llandudno and across Clwyd. Whether we can make an offer depends on the land itself, especially its access and planning prospects, and we'll tell you either way.
