Planning and land rules in Holyhead
In Wales, planning applications for new homes in Holyhead are decided by the local planning authority, usually the county or county borough council, using its Local Development Plan, Planning Policy Wales and Future Wales: the National Plan 2040. Landowners can sell outright or through an option or promotion agreement in which the planning work is funded for them and recovered only from a sale with planning. Land to Homes offers a free site appraisal and covers your reasonable legal fees on option and promotion agreements.
In Wales, new affordable homes in Holyhead 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.

Land and homes in Holyhead: questions
Who decides who gets an affordable or social home?
Councils and housing associations, not developers. They set eligibility, usually based on income, housing need and sometimes a local connection, and allocate homes through their own lists or sales processes. In Northern Ireland, social homes are allocated through the Northern Ireland Housing Executive's common waiting list. Land to Homes does not allocate homes.
What is planning permission?
Planning permission is consent from the planning authority to carry out development, such as building new homes or changing the use of land. Applications are judged against the local development plan and national policy, which differ in England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Permission can be full, or outline, which is called planning permission in principle in Scotland.
Will I have to pay anything upfront?
Not on a promotion agreement. We fund the planning work, and those costs are only recovered from the sale proceeds if the land sells with planning permission. You will still need your own solicitor, but on option and promotion agreements we pay your reasonable legal fees, with the amount agreed in the heads of terms.
What is a land promotion agreement?
Under a promotion agreement, a promoter funds and manages the planning process, then markets the land for sale with the landowner once permission is granted. The proceeds are shared under an agreed formula after the promoter's costs. With Land to Homes there is nothing to pay upfront: planning costs are only recovered from the sale proceeds if the land sells with planning.
Do you buy land in Holyhead?
Yes. Land to Homes looks at land in Holyhead and elsewhere in Gwynedd, including Bangor (Gwynedd), Pwllheli and Caernarfon. Every enquiry starts with a free site appraisal, and on option and promotion agreements we pay your reasonable legal fees.
