Contractor kicks off £9.6m Anglesey scheme

The North Wales development would see a mixture of walk-up apartments, terraced houses and detached homes take over the nearly seven-acre plot.

Planning permission has also been secured for a primary school and district centre, all set to be built within the second part of the former Wrexham steelworks site.

Plans for a mixed-use scheme led by a market hall and events space at the Sussex Street site are expected to secure approval next week.  

Plans from the Ruthin business for 300 homes and the refurbishment of the historic North Wales Hospital site are recommended for approval.

It’s a no-go for gas heating in social housing schemes submitted after 1 October according to the Welsh government’s new building standards.

The North Wales proposal from Maxi Developments was to build the homes on a 9.6-acre greenfield site.

The decision is inspired by the success of Rhiw Cefn Gwlad, a neighbourhood of 14 all-electric homes that had their first negative energy bill within three months of being built.

The North Wales-based developer is to start construction of 132 homes on 22 acres south of Wrexham later this year. 

The housebuilder has been given the all-clear to advance 102 affordable homes in Prestatyn, securing a narrow victory at planning committee.
