The planning appeal is to be held at the Guildhall Wrexham starting on the 22nd November 2016 and could last up to 4 days. The architect stated at the beginning of all this that they would not have tried to get this approved if Wrexham Council had a LDP in place. After we got it stopped at the Planning Committee meeting he then stated that they had no plans to appeal, this goes to show what a liar he is as it now seems that he is one of the main backers for the application. The other backer is a firm called “McClements and McClements Ltd” These are the same McClements that set up a company called Mifest Ltd and tried to put on a 3 day music festival on the same land and were stopped when the Welsh Ambulance Services and North Wales Police pulled out stating that it was a unsafe event. The reason we agreed that they used (so that they could save face) was that the land was waterlogged and unsafe to put cars on it for 3 days. While this was true it was not the main reasons as stated above.
The Planning Committee threw this out without a vote in its favour as it was outside the settlement limits for the village. The schools in the area are over subscribed as are the Doctors. The roads are already gridlocked at peak times and in the next two years the new Police Headquarters will be sited in Llay.
