A document which will influence future planning applications on the key development site in Bodelwyddan was agreed by Denbighshire’s Planning Committee yesterday.
The Committee agreed to formally adopt the Development Brief with a number of changes reflecting comments received as a result of public consultation and a change relating to access arrangements.
Land at Bodelwyddan has been allocated as a key strategic site for mixed use development in the Council’s Local Development Plan, to assist in meeting the county’s future development needs. The LDP was formally adopted in June 2013.
The brief provides detailed guidance to assist developers and applicants, members of the public, councillors and officers to determine future planning applications. It considers a range of issues, including location, land use, biodiversity, ecology, archaeology, healthcare and community safety issues; it also outlines considerations around education, employment, environmental issues, design principles, Welsh language and culture.
An outline planning application has been received for most of the site and is currently being considered. It will be reported to a future meeting of Planning Committee. The Development Brief will be used in making decisions on any planning applications for the site.
