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 must not lose this green area!

    Also it will be built next to the largest underprivileged housing estates in Europe.

    WCBC have also no updated the infrastructure to cope with this much housing!

    We must fight tooth an nail, we are loosing agricultural land and woodland for houses that a large majority of people in Wrecsam will never comfortably afford.

    Even though I don’t live near where these houses a supposedly going to be built, I think it’s a disgrace building that amount of houses. There isn’t the infrastructure to support that many houses, plus people can’t afford to buy houses. There are already hundreds of houses being built in rhosddu and other areas in Wrexham.

    This land is the land I grew up in, the woods that taught me and nourished me as a child. We moved to this house for the access to nature, something every child needs to grow and learn and develop. I came back home this weekend and was walking in the woods with my mother and found out about the plans and my heart broke, surely they cant take this beautiful lush space and concrete over it? I have created a relationship with this land that would last a life time, somewhere I always return to, an anchor, an old friend. Access to green spaces is our right, the land is a part of us and to take it away is cruel. I can not stand to see this land ripped away from the community as one of our only green spaces in the area. When I think of my own pain when hearing this news then i think of the community that shares this space & how many people this affects and know that this plan cannot go through.

    Another money grab by the powers to be. Wrexham council are happy to build more houses but are very reluctant too improve road Infrastructure and quality as well as fight for better public transport routes and links. Not only them points iv made but all applying more pressure on under funded public services (schools, hospitals, police and fire).

This starts with you

They have the money but we have the people. If everyone who visits this website joins our movement, there's nothing we can't accomplish together.
