Another developer, Macbryde Homes, is to appeal the democratic Planning Committee decision to reject the Building of another 80 homes in Summerhill. As usual, this will go to the Cardiff adjudicator and with no local knowledge will be approved. We do not need any additional houses in the Wrexham area. Anyone who thinks it will take rough sleepers of the streets is living in ‘cloud cuckoo land’ Given the record low interest rates, these will be purchased by ‘Buy to Let’ landlords, and will thus make tenants pay through the nose. The first step is to ban the purchase of ‘Buy to Let’.
We must teach the appellants that it is not a wise move to go against a democratic decision of the Wrexham people. The council must make it virtually impossible for the developers to proceed if the Cardiff appeal is won, by daily site inspections, the discovery of Newts, Toads, Bats & Roman & Industrial Ruins, Heath & Safety, Road Dirt etc, etc.
Even without these actions, the developers will come crying back to the Council to remove the planning requirement for the number of affordable homes, probably due to the CV crisis.
Any non-compliance with the original ‘appeal approved’ plan should be again be put before the full Wrexham Planning committee.
