Artist's impression — consented scheme designed by RM Consulting, March 2024
A rare and exceptional beachfront development opportunity on the North Wales coast. Sitting directly on the seafront at Dinas Dinlle — a sheltered, sought-after beach within easy reach of Caernarfon, the Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia — the property holds full planning permission for a striking contemporary scheme designed by RM Consulting.
Planning consent was granted by Gwynedd Council on 19 September 2024 (Ref: C22/0380/17/LL) for the creation of a substantial three-storey home alongside a change of use to a café/restaurant (A3) and a new two-storey integral garage. A non-material amendment is also in process to allow full demolition of the existing structure and a clean-slate rebuild using Insulating Concrete Formwork (ICF) — fast, thermally efficient and ideally suited to a coastal environment.
The consented design features a flat-roof contemporary aesthetic with render and timber cladding, floor-to-ceiling sea-facing glazing, a green roof terrace with seating, and panoramic views across Caernarfon Bay to the Llyn Peninsula and Snowdonia. The ground-floor café unit offers an immediate income stream during the summer season and adds significant commercial versatility to the proposition.
Beachfront consented development opportunities of this scale are genuinely rare anywhere in the UK. Gwynedd Council's planning policies are tight, and the combination of Snowdonia National Park and the Llyn Peninsula AONB mean that buildable, sea-facing land simply does not come to market. When it does, it commands a premium.
The consented design delivers a spectacular open-plan living experience across three storeys, with full-height glazing, a feature fireplace, timber flooring, and a private terrace opening directly onto the beach.

The consented ground-floor commercial unit is designed as a fully fitted A3 café and restaurant, seating approximately 40 covers. Timber beam ceiling detail, bespoke coffee bar, full kitchen provision and large glazed frontage facing the beach — ready to trade from day one of completion.
