A DEVELOPER has revealed plans for more than 30 apartments on the site of a Flintshire pub it hopes to demolish.

A public consultation is currently being held over the plans for 36 apartments on the site of the current Queensferry Hotel, situated near the Jubilee Bridge (Blue Bridge) on Welsh Road.

The apartments would be a mixture of 1-bed and 2-bed accommodation - 20 per cent of which would be designated afforable housing. The scheme would also see the provision of 56 car parking spaces, 5 visitor spaces and access to the site.

The plans have been lodged by Peacock Building Services Ltd - which is looking to demolish the pub that has been long-time closed.

Planning documents state: "The application site has not been allocated for housing in the new LDP but is considered brownfield land and would fall under the windfall market housing category. Garden City is a sustainable location with access to amenities and good travel linkages. The development of Northern Gateway located across from the site will bolster employment opportunities going forward.  

"This development will help to meet the demand in the area for one and two-bed accommodation, helping to sustain a balanced mixed community. The development is in a highly sustainable location and involves the reuse of a currently derelict site that does not contribute positively to the visual amenities of the surrounding area.

"This site will form a coherent part of the new gateway development into Queensferry and positively enhance the backdrop setting of the listed bridge." 

A public consultation on the plans is being held until August 28. Anyone wishing to submit comments on this development proposal can email amy.henson@berrys.uk.com or write to Ms Amy Henson at Berrys, Beech House, Anchorage Avenue, Shrewsbury Business Park, Shrewsbury, Shropshire SY2 6FG.
