Upper Denbigh Road, St Asaph

This proposed development is located off Upper Denbigh Road on the south-eastern edge of St Asaph. The former HM Stanley Hospital, now partially re-developed for residential development lies directly to the north, and there is open farmland to the south, east and west. This site is currently allocated for housing in the Denbighshire County Council Local Development Plan. It covers an area of approximately 12.1 acres (4.9 hectares), of which 8.9 acres is proposed for the development of new homes, with the remaining land planned to incorporate area of public open space and to enable the retention of the existing Ty Tyn farmhouse within the centre of the site and areas of existing mature landscaping.

A total of 124 dwellings are proposed, ranging in size from two to four bedrooms, and all are two storeys high. 112 of the properties are proposed to be made available for sale, and the remaining 12 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 10% of the dwellings proposed, in accordance with the requirements 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, and these will be identified by Denbighshire County Council during the subsequent planning application.

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.
