Is a subject-to-planning sale right for your land?

  • Small sites with a clear planning case
  • Land where a previous permission has lapsed
  • Owners willing to wait for a higher price
  • Land with a registered title

If your land has a good chance of permission but doesn't have it yet, a subject-to-planning deal usually achieves more than an outright sale.

What Wales's rules mean for your land

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.

Questions from landowners near Pwllheli

What is a subject-to-planning sale?

A sale where contracts are exchanged now, but completion depends on planning permission being granted. If it isn't granted by the long-stop date, the contract can end.

Who pays for the planning application?

We do, along with the surveys and consultants needed to support it.

How long does the planning stage take?

In England the statutory period is eight weeks for most applications and thirteen for major ones; in Wales it's eight weeks. Both extend to sixteen weeks where an environmental impact assessment is needed, and surveys, validation and negotiation often add time.

Do you cover the villages around Pwllheli?

Yes. Villages between Pwllheli, Caernarfon and Blaenau-Ffestiniog often have the kind of edge-of-settlement land we're looking for.
