Description
A superb opportunity for a developer to acquire a large Development Plot/Land.
Undoubtedly a superb opportunity for a developer to acquire a large Development Plot/Land, situated in a prime location within the historic castle town of Caernarfon overlooking the scenic Menai Strait to the coastline of the Isle of Anglesey. Full planning permission has been granted and implemented (Planning No. C07A/0863/14/LL) for the erection of a 5 Storey Apartment Block comprising of 15 separate Apartments complete with associated parking – plans are available to view at any of our offices.
A proportion of the groundworks has already been partially completed on site. A site inspection would be required to confirm the current condition, extent, and future viability of these works. The existing design concept envisages apartment accommodation arranged to maximise outlooks across the Menai Strait, offering exceptional views and strong lifestyle appeal. The site’s elevated position and orientation provide the potential to create high-quality residential accommodation that fully capitalises on its coastal setting.
Alternatively, the plot offers flexibility for redevelopment in an entirely different form, subject to the necessary consents.
The site benefits from a positive planning history. Previous planning permissions, now superseded and no longer live, were granted for:
• The erection of four dwellings (Planning Reference: C11/0253/14/LL) and
• The erection of a single dwelling (Planning Reference: C18/1040/14/LL).
This planning background clearly demonstrates the site’s capacity to support a variety of residential development options, making it an attractive opportunity for developers and investors seeking a versatile plot in a highly desirable coastal location. The historic and picturesque town of Caernarfon occupies a prime position on the banks of the renowned Menai Strait, offering an exceptional setting for a wide range of watersports and leisure pursuits. The town also serves as an ideal gateway to the spectacular Eryri (Snowdonia) National Park, which lies just a short drive away and provides year-round opportunities for outdoor recreation.
The vibrant town centre is located within a few minutes’ walk and is home to the iconic 13th-century Caernarfon Castle, one of the UK’s most celebrated UNESCO World Heritage Sites. Within the historic castle walls, visitors and residents alike can enjoy a network of narrow streets lined with independent shops, cafes, and striking period architecture, creating a distinctive and characterful environment. Caernarfon benefits from a comprehensive range of amenities, including supermarkets, cafes, restaurants and public houses, a coastal golf course, marina, theatre and numerous leisure facilities. The town is also well served by both primary and secondary schools, making it suitable for a wide demographic. The university city of Bangor is located approximately 9 miles away, providing mainline rail services and convenient access to the A55 North Wales Expressway, ensuring strong regional and national connectivity. With the Menai Strait to one side and the dramatic landscape of Eryri forming a breathtaking backdrop, this location offers a truly unique setting and an exceptional lifestyle opportunity.
