Backland development in Holyhead

Backland Development is a new brand within the S&K Group, helping homeowners in Holyhead make use of land behind and beside their houses. We buy suitable plots directly, subject to survey, title and contract, and we also offer sales subject to planning, options, planning promotion, joint ventures and design and build.

We won’t claim a long list of past schemes on your street, because we’re new. What we will do is give you a straight view of your plot, put the main terms in writing as heads of terms, and expect your own solicitor to check them. On option and promotion agreements, your reasonable legal fees are covered, with the cap agreed in advance.

The kinds of plot we look at in Holyhead

Sometimes the plot that works isn’t a single garden at all. Two or three adjoining back gardens in Holyhead 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 Holyhead

The rules for a new home in Holyhead come from three levels. Nationally there is Planning Policy Wales (PPW). Locally, the council’s Local Development Plan (LDP) sets the policies Isle of Anglesey County Council applies, alongside its own guidance on design, parking and gardens. Then the build itself must meet the Building Regulations as they apply in Wales. That brings in practical matters such as sprinklers, which every new home in Wales must have, and rainwater drainage usually calls for approval from the SuDS Approval Body (SAB) before building starts. Any purchase of the plot falls under Land Transaction Tax (LTT). We work through each level for your plot at the start, so there are fewer late surprises once the planning application is under way.

Questions about garden plots in Holyhead

Is there a charge for assessing my plot in Holyhead?

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.

Can you build a house in my back garden in Holyhead that I keep?

Yes. Our design and build route covers the survey, design, planning application, Building Regulations, construction and handover, while the land and the new home stay yours. You can sell it, let it or use it for family. You’ll get a written quote once the design and survey are done, and any earlier price range is a guide only.

Do you look at garage courts and yards in Holyhead?

Yes. Garage courts, lock-up blocks, old yards and outbuildings behind houses can sometimes take a new home, especially where a vehicle access already exists. We check who owns the access, what rights others have over it and what the ground was used for, as part of the free appraisal.

How much is my garden plot in Holyhead 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.
