Planning committee

Decided by Wrexham Planning Committee on 11 May 2026.

Refused

Against officer advice: officers had recommended approval.

  • Officers advised granting permission because parking, flooding, amenity and other concerns were considered acceptable.
  • Residents raised concerns about parking, highway safety, flooding, noise, character, waste and environmental impacts.
  • The committee refused permission, citing inadequate off-street parking and increased surface-water flood risk.
