The kinds of plot we look at in Flint
Sometimes the plot that works isn’t a single garden at all. Two or three adjoining back gardens in Flint can often be combined into one scheme with one shared access, giving a better layout than any of them alone. Each owner keeps their house, and a collaboration agreement with an equalisation clause shares the value fairly. If your own garden is too narrow or too short to work on its own, it’s worth asking whether the neighbours might be interested too.
Planning and light in Flint
Daylight is one of the first things Flintshire County Council will look at on a garden plot. At midday on 21 March the sun in Flint sits about 37° above the horizon, so a typical two-storey eaves line around 5 metres high throws a shadow of roughly 6.7 m. On 21 December the midday sun is only about 13° up and shadows are far longer. That’s why the gap between the existing house and the new one, and the height of the new roof, matter so much. We test layouts against the council’s Local Development Plan (LDP) and any daylight guidance it publishes before anything is submitted.

Questions about garden plots in Flint
Is there a charge for assessing my plot in Flint?
No. The garden plot appraisal is free and carries no obligation. We do a desktop check of access, size, title and the planning picture, talk it through with you and arrange a site visit if it looks viable. You can stop at any point without owing anything.
How much is my garden plot in Flint worth?
There’s no honest figure without looking at the plot. Value depends on location, size, access, title and planning, and costs such as a long drive or difficult ground come straight off what the land is worth. Our free appraisal looks at all of that before we talk about price.
Can I team up with my neighbours in Flint?
Yes, and it can make a weak plot workable. Combining adjoining gardens can allow one shared access and a better layout. Each owner keeps their house, and a collaboration agreement sets out decisions, costs and how value is shared through equalisation. Every household should have its own solicitor.
How do you stop a new home in Flint overshadowing the neighbours?
By testing the layout against the sun and the council’s guidance. At midday on 21 March the sun in Flint is about 37° up, so a 5 m eaves line casts a shadow of roughly 6.7 m; in December it is far lower. Spacing, roof height, orientation and single-storey designs all help keep light where it belongs.
