Mold Road, Gwersyllt, Wrexham

This proposed development is located on land directly to the east of Mold Road (A541), Wrexham, on a site currently allocated for housing in the emerging Wrexham County Borough Council Local Development Plan. To the north and west of the site is existing residential development within the village of Gwersyllt, and to the south and east is open countryside. The site covers an area of 7.3 acres (3.1 hectares), of which 6.61 acres is proposed for the development of new homes, with the remaining land planned to incorporate public open space areas and retain existing mature landscaping.

A total of 96 dwellings are proposed, ranging in size from two to four bedrooms, and all are to be two storeys high. 72 of the properties are proposed to be made available for open-market sale, and the remaining 24 houses will form a provision of affordable housing, the details and tenure of which will be confirmed with Denbighshire County Council during our subsequent planning application. This affordable provision makes up 25% of the dwellings proposed, in accordance with Wrexham County Borough Council policy. A series of financial contributions to provide funding for local public facilities and infrastructure will also be offered, with this and the affordable housing provision to be secured by the Council through a legal agreement.

The new homes, 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.
