THE COUNCIL has issued an update on an "unauthorised development" in Wrexham.
Last month, The Leader reported that work had taken place on land off Llyndir Lane in Burton, near Rossett, that was previously used for agriculture.
Cllr Hugh Jones, Lead Member for Planning and Public Protection, and a local councillor for the area, said that hedgerows have been removed and that fencing has been erected and hardstanding placed down.
He said planning permission hadn't been granted and an application hadn't been submitted, describing it as an "unauthorised development".

Wrexham Council gave the occupiers of the site 28 days to submit a planning application, before enforcement measures were taken.
And the council has now issued an update on the matter.
A spokesperson said: "Officers contacted the occupiers of the site in mid-May to advise them to cease occupation of the site or submit a formal planning application within 28 days.
"A planning application has been submitted within the 28 day deadline and is currently in the validation process.
"Once we are satisfied the application is valid it will be publicised and go through the application process.”
