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

    These plans are far too excessive for Wrexham. It’s unreasonable and not sustainable.

    Too many new houses already built in our city. Can’t take any more people.

    Absolute disgrace if this goes through , they wonder why the youth of today go into crime and it’s because they have nowhere to play as a child I played football and games on here everyday of the school holidays 10:00am till 10:00pm and every weekend in the summer ,

    We don’t need these extra houses. So many have been built already. Flooding will get worse especially the Cefndre area, which has flooded since I lived there in the early 60s

    Disgusting decision. Kids have used this land for decades. The entire area is surrounded by roads. If you take the green space away that allows them to converge you’ll inadvertently push them closer to the roads where accidents happen. It’s a huge safety concern on so many levels, not to mention a health hazard when we consider pandemics for example. People need spaces to walk around so stop congregating people into confined spaces.

    The infrastructure in the area will not support the influx of people

    Don’t turn another lovely green field into a concrete jungle.


    I walk my pet on that field. It’s the only field I can take her without using my car.
