Wrexham Unitary Development Plan
Wrexham Unitary Development Plan Monitoring Report 2004-5 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY This is the third Unitary Development Plan Monitoring Report produced by Wrexham County Borough Council, in accordance with the requirements of the Welsh Assembly Government. It covers the year 2004-5 and also looks at the general context and long term trends. Among the key findings of the report are: The Wrexham Unitary Development Plan: the Wrexham UDP, which sets out policies and proposals for the development and use of land in the County Borough up to 2011, was adopted on 14th February 2005. Housing: there were 395 housing completions in 2004-5, slightly below the average since 1996 of 420. The UDP policy figure is 385 dwellings per annum. The County Borough had a housing land supply in 2004 of 7.10 years, well above the minimum of 5 years required by Planning Policy Wales. Employment: the take up of employment land in 2004-5 was 7.1 hectares, compared with the average since 1996 of 6.9 hectares per annum, and the UDP policy figure of 20 hectares per annum. Shopping: Details of the non food retail warehousing scheme on the former Carlsberg Tetley site were approved by the Council in 2004, and the development is now under construction. A major retail development at the Eagles Meadow site in Wrexham was granted planning permission in July 2005. Wrexham is ranked as the third most important shopping centre in Wales, and 101st in the UK. Transport: Construction of the Wrexham Industrial Estate access road was delayed by the decision of the Welsh Assembly Government not to approve the necessary Compulsory Purchase Orders. -
