Rules that apply in Flint
Drainage has its own approval in Wales. Most new developments of more than one home, or with 100 square metres or more of construction area, need sustainable drainage approval from the council's SuDS Approving Body, separate from planning permission, before building starts. For land around Flint, that shapes layout and how many homes fit, so our free site appraisal looks at it alongside access, Local Development Plan policy and the biodiversity requirements of Planning Policy Wales.
In Wales, new affordable homes in Flint are mainly delivered by councils and registered social landlords, supported by Social Housing Grant, the Welsh Government's main capital programme for affordable housing. Section 106 agreements secure affordable homes on market schemes, in line with Local Development Plan policy. Registered social landlords are registered and regulated by the Welsh Ministers. Land to Homes can bring forward land and build homes with councils and housing associations.
| Who decides applications | The local planning authority, usually the county or county borough council (or a national park authority) |
|---|---|
| In-principle consent | Outline planning permission, with reserved matters approved later |

| How a sale becomes binding | As in England, a land sale becomes legally binding on exchange of contracts and finishes on completion, with the title registered at HM Land Registry. |
| Developer contributions | Section 106 planning obligations, plus the Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) where the council has adopted it |
Your questions answered for Flint
Who pays for the planning application?
Usually the applicant pays the council fee and the cost of surveys and reports. Under a promotion agreement with Land to Homes, we fund the planning work, and the costs are only recovered from the sale proceeds if the land sells with planning. On a direct purchase without planning, the planning cost and risk become ours.
What is an option agreement?
An option agreement gives a developer the right, but not the obligation, to buy land within an agreed period, usually once planning permission is granted. The landowner normally receives an option fee, and the purchase price is worked out under an agreed formula. On option agreements with Land to Homes, we pay your reasonable legal fees, agreed up front in the heads of terms.
Can you guarantee my land will get planning permission?
No one can guarantee planning permission. Decisions rest with the planning authority or, on appeal, an independent appeal body. What we can do is assess the prospects honestly, prepare a thorough application and deal with likely objections early. If we think a site is unlikely to succeed, we will tell you before anyone spends time or money on it.
What are the New Homes Quality Code and New Homes Ombudsman?
The New Homes Quality Code is a code of practice for developers registered with the New Homes Quality Board, covering how homes are marketed, reserved, sold and handed over, and after-sales care. Buyers of homes from registered developers can usually take unresolved complaints to the New Homes Ombudsman Service. The framework currently covers England, Scotland and Wales.
