New link road and 235 home estate development gets underway in North Wales town
Our community members are treated to special offers, promotions and adverts from us and our partners. You can check out at any time. More info A major homes development that also includes a new link road has got underway. Anwyl Homes has broken ground on a development of 235 new homes in Mold. The Ewloe-based family-run homebuilder is set to create an estate - named Dol Derwen - on the edge of the town. A new road will also be formed through the site linking Gwernaffield Road to Denbigh Road. Flintshire council gave it the go-ahead last year. Council officers and the planning committee backed the proposals despite some local opposition. Community leaders had voiced fears that the scheme could add to problems with traffic and flooding in the area. Graeme Gibb, sales director at Anwyl Homes Cheshire and North Wales said: 'This location offers an attractive setting within convenient distance of everything the thriving market town of Mold has to offer; including several supermarkets, independent shops, restaurants, cafes and highly regarded schools, including both English and Welsh language high schools.

With work now underway we're expecting that interest to grow. The first homes will be released for sale towards the end of the summer.' (Image: Copyright Unknown) The 28-acre site was allocated for housing in Flintshire County Council's adopted local plan. It will feature 94 affordable homes (40% of the total development) alongside 141 private sale homes. Across the development there will be a range of one, two, three and four-bedroom designs. As part of the planning agreement, Anwyl will contribute towards the local community, including more than £37,500 towards improvements at Ysgol Bryn Gwalia. There will be a play area and multi-use games area for residents and the wider community to enjoy. Graeme added: 'To encourage biodiversity on site we'll be creating habitats for local wildlife through new native planting, the retention of mature trees and hedgerows, and the installation of bird and bat boxes.' The new road being created between Denbigh Road and Gwernaffield Road will also enable Pool House Lane to become a walking and cycling route.

Major new 130-home estate could be built on edge of North Wales town
Plans to build 130 new homes on farmland in Flint have been submitted to Flintshire County Council. The Ffordd Dewi development was originally proposed as a 140 home project, but the full planning application submitted by Anwyl Homes has reduced that number. On land formerly part of Coed Onn Farm, the proposed development borders the new Croes Atti Welsh language school site. Outside of Flintshire Council 's Local Development Plan – it will be made up of 100% affordable housing, with 90% (117 homes) social rent and 10% (13 homes) low cost privately owned. The plans include a mix of 16 one-bedroom apartments, eight one-bedroom bungalows, four two-bedroom bungalows, 53 two-bedroom houses, 39 three-bedroom houses and 10 four-bedroom houses plus a play area. All properties will have electric car charging points. A pre-application consultation on the development in November drew opposition from 25 local residents, with concerns raised over water drainage, increased traffic, a single proposed entrance to the estate running past the new Ysgol Croes Atti, ecological damage to Pandy Pool and pressure on local services like GPs and dentists which are already struggling.

There is however the remains of an effluent pipe that was part of the infrastructure around the production of mustard gas at Rhydymwyn during World War II. The plans include making sure this pipework is made safe or removed during construction. To aid with drainage there will be a number of swales – grass verges that collect and slowly drain surface water away, plus two balancing ponds to collect excess water. According to documents submitted by Anwyl with their application, the development will provide 130 new affordable homes with a range of house types to create a balanced community. There is a genuine and acute need for the proposed affordable homes, they said. They added: 'The development will create a high quality, inclusive and sustainable residential neighbourhood which maintains and enhances the key existing landscape features, integrating the site into the wider area."
