Appeal against rejection of 110 homes plan in North Wales expected to be lodged next month

Castle Green Homes wants to build the houses on land adjacent to Ysgol Pendref on Gwaenynog Road

Castle Green Homes wants to build 110 dwellings at land adjacent to Ysgol Pendref, Denbigh

An appeal against the rejection of an 110 home development in North Wales will be lodged shortly.

St Asaph-based Castle Green Homes, formerly Macbryde, wants to build the houses on land adjacent to Ysgol Pendref on Gwaenynog Road in Denbigh.

They have already bought the land off Denbighshire council and submitted an application last year for 110 homes.

Planning officers had recommended the scheme gets the green light but there was opposition locally to the scheme.

Councillors voted 16-0 with one abstention to refuse the application, citing loss of agricultural land, an over-intensification of development, highway safety and climate change as the reasons.

Gwyn Jones, chief executive of Castle Green Homes, said after the meeting in March that they would look to appeal to the Welsh Government planning inspectorate.

This week they confirmed the company "will be progressing" with that appeal. They added that they expected to submit this in "early June".
