Not legally enforcable on their own, but you’re usually already in a 20 by the time you see one anyway.
Seems a bit pointless to me, it’s like banning criminals from breaking the law.
Better enforcement is the answer, but where does that money come from?
I’ve said it before but if certain councillors put the same effort into solving important issues as they do trying to hoover up NIMBY support this county borough would be in a lot better shape.
It seems a lot of planning apps from mid-December are currently being added. There are definitely ones with validation dates of the 18th and earlier that have appeared in the past few days.
This seems to have become normal. I don’t think the “Utopia City” plans for the industrial estate that are dated late July didn’t appear on the site until late August.
It makes the “last week submitted” search completely useless given more can turn up a month later.
Whilst not 2 bedroom, what happened to providing large apartment blocks as part of these sorts of development? It seems in the 00s when the houses along Ruthin Road were built it was the norm to have medium density apartments somewhere on the development.
Now developers have completely recessed into packing as many 3 and 4 bedrooms as possible into the land they have.
Plaid are acting like voting this down would have saved Wrexham from ever having houses built again, despite us having 12 years of completely unchecked housing estates granted on appeal… because we had no plan in place.
Makes sense. He said he was going to back in 2020, and any later than now risks the new leader election interfering with possible General election run-ups.
We won’t see 20mph go away (get on to your councils for that) but I’m hoping the road building moratorium is lifted by the new leadership – Gething is particularly pro-road.
Will there be any resignations from the top table and below?
Lol no, if anything they’ll vote the same way *again* and the High Court will order the council to adopt at another £100k cost to us.
Lots of wailing and gnashing of teeth about “democracy” too when the council had several lawful opportunities to amend the LDP before the adoption vote.
Pointing out the population hasn’t increased as much is laughable when the population would probably increase naturally if we actually built enough single family homes for families to have kids in over that period.
Unfortunately too many councillors are just chasing the NIMBY vote so will make up any old dross. I’m surprised they haven’t rolled out the “we’ll just become a commuter town for England” tripe – didn’t really happen for Llay did it – I know a fair few locals who go their first house there.
