Sell a small development site in Hawarden

Small sites are a focus for us. They're too small for many national housebuilders, and too complicated for many self-builders, which can leave owners without an obvious buyer.

What decides the value of small development sites near Hawarden

Number of homes

Each additional home a site can take adds value, if the layout works.

Trees and boundaries

Mature trees and hedges on small sites have a big effect on layout.

Drainage

Sustainable drainage must fit within the site.

Build costs

Small sites cost more per home to build, which the land price reflects.

Choosing how to sell

Outright purchase

Simple where permission exists or you need certainty now.

Subject-to-planning sale

The most common route for small unconsented sites.

Option agreements

Useful if land needs assembling from more than one owner.

Joint ventures

Can suit owners who'd like to share in the homes' sale value.

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.

Biodiversity

Wales doesn't use England's 10% net gain metric. Planning Policy Wales expects development to deliver a net benefit for biodiversity.

Section 106 and CIL

Section 106 agreements apply in Wales, and a small number of Welsh councils charge the Community Infrastructure Levy.

When the land isn't straightforward

There's a protected tree

We design around it and allow for root protection areas.

The access is tight

We check whether it can serve the number of homes proposed.

Useful to send us

  • A rough size, in acres or hectares
  • A plan, or a screenshot from an online map
  • Details of any tenants or grazing agreements
  • How soon you'd ideally like to sell

Questions from landowners near Hawarden

Do small sites need affordable housing?

In England, national policy generally doesn't seek affordable housing on schemes below ten homes, though some rural areas set lower thresholds. In Wales, many Local Development Plans seek contributions from smaller sites. We check the local policy.

How do you value a small site?

We work out what the homes would sell for, then deduct build costs, fees, finance, planning costs and a profit margin. What's left is the land value.

Will you build the homes yourselves?

That's the aim of the land-to-homes work we're setting out to do: buying the land, getting permission and building the homes.

Can you visit land near Hawarden?

Yes. Once we've looked at the title and planning position, we arrange a site visit if the land looks suitable. Send the address or postcode to start.
