No to 1680 houses off Cefn Rd/Holt Rd

The Welsh Labour Government have insisted on excessive levels of housing development in Wrecsam. Despite local Councillors twice voting against these plans, developers took the council to court and Councillors were threatend with jail if they failed to adopt the plan. The plan, known as the LDP,  was subequently adopted in December 2023. Councillors have launched a legal challenge which is due to be heard in the coming months.

This plan includes a super estate of 1680 houses in total off the Cefn Rd/Holt Rd. An application for 600 houses has already been submitted by Barratt and Bloor homes, with the Harworth group beginning consultation on plans for an additional 900 houses. Additional applications may also be submitted.

We the undersigned do not support plans for a super estate of 1680 houses off Cefn rd/Holt rd. We object for the following reasons:

  • Loss of Green fields 
  • Lack of affordability 
  • No local need as population is static/slightly declining
  • Pressure on local GP's 
  • Pressure on the Maelor hospital
  • Lack of local Dentists 
  • Local highway at capacity already
  • Pressure on local schools
  • General pressure on stretched local infrastrucure such as water, sewage etc
  • Flood risk

    We need affordable and social hpusing with more doctors, dentists, etc, not expensive houses to sell at too high unaffordable prices which local people in need of housing cannot afford. We need more one bedroom social housing that is affordable. I have a son and 2 grandsons over 21 who would not be able to afford to move out even though they work.

    This town has an overloaded infrastructure as it is. Doctors, dentists, schools and hospitals all struggling. The roads are a mess, rubbish is piled up everywhere and the path menus are covered in pot holes and weeds. It’s a disgrace. Taking playing fields from children to create more houses that will add to a struggling infrastructure is ridiculous and an unhealthy addition to our Town!!

    The land is not suitable for this, it’s a money grab blatant at best
