Land Adjacent to Pendref School, Gwaenyog Road, Denbigh

This proposed development is located on land directly to the southwest of Ysgol Pendref, on Gwaenynog Road, Denbigh, on a site currently allocated for housing in the Denbighshire Local Development Plan. To the south of the site is Lodge Farm Lane, beyond which is natural countryside. There is existing residential development to the north and east, and Lodge Farm itself lies to the northwest. The site covers an area of 7.0 acres (2.8 hectares), of which 6.7 acres is proposed for the development of new homes, with the remaining land planned to incorporate the entrance to the development and retain existing mature landscaping to the boundaries.

A total of 110 dwellings are proposed, ranging in size from two to four bedrooms, and all are two storeys high. 88 of the properties are proposed to be made available for sale, and the remaining 22 houses will form a provision of affordable housing, the details and tenure of which will be confirmed with Denbighshire County Council during the course of a subsequent planning application. This affordable provision makes up 20% of the dwellings proposed, double the requirement of current Council policy. A series of financial contributions to provide funding for local public facilities and infrastructure will also be offered, to be secured by the Council through a legal agreement. This will include a significant sum for the improvement of local public open space areas, and road improvements to the A543 and Gwaenynog Road in the vicinity of the development entrance.

The dwellings, roads and associated landscaping proposed will be designed and constructed to a high standard, and will be entirely in keeping with the context of the local area. The development will offer a well-considered and attractive place to live for future local residents.
