The go-ahead has been secured for the major redevelopment of a site left empty for more than a decade after a glass factory shut.
Pilkington’s Special Glass stopped manufacturing at the site in St Asaph back in 2008 and the factory was later demolished.
The land has been empty since then but last year commercial vehicle dealer CVAM Ltd based in Denbigh announced plans for a storage and distribution facility at the ‘Vista’ site. The proposal also included outline plans for five office and industrial units on the remainder of the site.

Planners have now given the scheme the green light.
Securing planning for CVAM ensures the business and its workers remain in North Wales and once the additional units are completed they could bring a raft of new roles to the region.
Sioned Edwards, from agent Cadnant Planning, which worked with Lawray Architects on the proposal, said: “The site has laid empty for over 10 years following the closure and subsequent demolition of the former Pilkington’s glass factory.
“Part of the site will become the new headquarters for Denbigh based heavy commercial vehicle dealer, CVAM.
