Site constraints 6

Nutrient neutrality catchment: River Dee
New homes and overnight accommodation must show nutrient neutrality before approval.
Natural England advice: extra wastewater in these catchments harms protected habitats, so schemes must offset their nutrient load, usually through credits.
Special area of conservation about 189 m away: Johnstown Newt Sites
Work nearby can need a habitats assessment.
Harm to a protected site is only accepted where there is no alternative and an overriding public interest.
SSSI about 189 m away: Stryt Las a'r Hafod
Natural England may need consulting, depending on what is proposed.
Sites of special scientific interest are the best wildlife and geological sites in the country. Development likely to harm one is rarely permitted.
Also on the record
Radon affected area, class 4; Coalfield, development low risk area; National infrastructure project about 1867 m away: Wrexham Energy Centre.
Not affected
Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 10 November 2026.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
