Why it was refused

  1. into the rural landscape causing harm to the Special Landscape Area, contrary to Policy EC5 of the Wrexham Unitary Due to inadequate visibility the development will not be provided
  2. with a safe and satisfactory vehicular access and therefore conflicts with policy GDP1 of the Wrexham Unitary Development The site is located outside of a settlement limit where there is a
  3. presumption against new residential development. The development does not accord with policy/policies H3, H4, H5 and H8 of the Wrexham Unitary Development Plan.
  4. the development will have a detrimental impact upon Protected Species. The development is therefore contrary to policy EC6 of the Wrexham Unitary Development Plan.
  5. Statement or a scheme of biodiversity enhancements. As such, the proposal does not demonstrate how the step wise approach detailed at section 6.4.15 of Planning Policy Wales Ed. 12 has been applied, nor how a net biodiversity benefit will be achieved contrary to Policy PS 11 of the Wrexham Unitary Development Plan and LPGN 32.
