Public consulted over 70 homes proposed for Abermorddu fields

Castle Green Homes has invited the public to have a say on the development - which is proposed for a site off Wrexham Road.

According to the company, these homes will range in size from two to four bedrooms and are all to be two storeys high.

A total of 49 of the homes are proposed to be made available for open-market sale, with the remaining 21 forming a provision of affordable housing, the details of which "will be confirmed with Flintshire Council" in the company's subsequent planning application.

According to a design and access statement, the site comprises two agricultural fields used for grazing purposes which are divided by hedgerows.

The document adds: "The proposed site plan has been designed as a sympathetic and logical extension to the settlement, to the west of Wrexham Road on a naturally contained parcel of land.

"The layout has been designed to provide for the efficient use of the land to deliver 70 new homes, with only a small number of private gardens backing on to any of the site boundaries.

"This will protect the residential amenity and privacy of future residents, as well as existing nearby dwellings/land-uses, and prevent issues of overbearing and overlooking.

"Footpath connections will be provided through this space from the site to the adjacent equipped area of play that was delivered as part of the nearby Llys Clark residential development; accordingly, no additional equipped areas of play are proposed within the site."

Based on projections of arriving and departing traffic from the site, the document adds the proposed increase in traffic generated by the plans is "not anticipated to have a material impact on the operation or safety of the local highway network."

It adds that while the development of a greenfield parcel of land for housing will "inevitably change the characteristics of the site," the proposed scheme "is not considered to cause unacceptable landscape and visual harm."

Members of the public have until October 24 to share their views on the plans via Castle Green Homes' website.
