There was two problems in the main last night at the planning committee.
1: Planning had been past a few years ago for the commercial buildings on this site so it was difficult to not give planning consent.
2: Local residents in the main did not complain in writing in fact most were in favour (as were the local councillors) of the go ahead.
A lot of valid points were raised such as the junction onto the by-pass needed to be updated (Welsh Assembly have to fork up for that not Wrexham BC) and the drainage problems which is in hand by the Welsh Water Board but will not be completed until 2017 so therefore work on site can not start until then. Alternate Brown Field sites were mentioned but the Airproducts one has already been sold and the other one in Ruabon has not been put into the market yet.
