Why it was refused

  1. There is inadequate provision for off-street parking on site. The development is therefore likely to increase demand for on-street parking in the vicinity of the site to the detriment of highway safety. The development therefore conflicts with policies GDP1 and T8 of the Wrexham Unitary Development Plan.
  2. The proposed additional hard surfaced area would increase the risk of surface water flooding, due to the existing risk of surface water flooding in the immediate vicinity of the site, as shown on the Flood Map for Planning. The development therefore conflicts with policy GDP1 (i) of the Wrexham Unitary Development Plan.
