It is a combination of local knowledge from the Pen-y-ffordd Community Group, supported by the Community Council, and the feedback of over 780 residents; along with local and national policies which the proposal fails to adhere to. Hawarden Road with the proposal land behind the hedgerows on the left “you and your community are vital in the plan preparation as you hold local knowledge” LDP Wales – Planning Your Community (Welsh Assembly Government Publication) In Planning Policy Wales Edition 8 - January 2016 in Chapter 4.3.1 there is reference to the Well- being of Future Generations (Wales) Act establishing a Sustainable Development Principle. This is the wording: “…a defined public body must act in a manner which seeks to ensure that the needs of the present are met without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. In order to achieve this principle we expect all those involved in the planning system to adhere to: putting people, and their quality of life now and in the future, at the centre of decision making.” Pen-y-ffordd Community Group Page 1 www.PenyfforddCommunity.org Objections to Planning Application 055590 This document sets out why adding this development to our village will harm the community and the quality of life of residents now as well as the reasons why it is unsustainable.

  • Formal Consultation Document
    Flintshire County Council Education and Youth Services St David’s High School, Saltney Consultation on Proposals to change the age range of St David’s High School from 11-18 to 11-16 Introduction The purpose of this report is to provide relevant information as to why a change in the age range of St David’s High School from 11-18 to 11-16 is proposed. Funding for provision of post-16 education is provided through Welsh Government grant, which is diminishing each year creating significant increasing pressure on small sixth forms. In order to safeguard the right of learners to access a broad and high quality range of learning opportunities, the Council through its Schools Modernisation Strategy has an agreed trigger point to review post-16 provision in any secondary school where the number of pupils within the 6th form education falls below 150 pupils for three years in succession. In light of the recent Judicial Review associated with another Local Authority in Wales which brought new learning and findings, this Local Authority has made a decision to renew the consultation, to ensure that the consultation paperwork reflects the new findings associated with the recent case law. Therefore, there will be an additional opportunity for all affected parties to contribute their views on the proposals outlined in the individual consultation reports.
