Present sewage works at full capacity and substantial housing development in Overton would require large and expensive extension to existing works; · Station Road is very busy, especially at peak hours (7 – 9 am & 4 – 6pm) and when meeting traffic from Salop Road would require the installation of traffic lights at the junction of Station Road, Church Street, Penyllan Street and Salop Road; · There is a public footpath running alongside the SW border of the site; · Possibility of adjoining sites becoming landlocked if this site and adjoining sites are developed – poses issue of access, maintenance for farmer; · The land has been indicated as grade 2 agricultural land, bordering on grade 1. To build on such land would be a tragedy; · Inspector has previously concluded the site would represent an undesirable extension into the open countryside having no natural boundary on its eastern side; · Services in Overton are already at full capacity- medical facilities already serve a wide area as does the school. Only 2 shops within the village, 1 open part time; · There is no industry in Overton and the vast majority of those who work must commute resulting in large volumes of traffic at peak times of the day – Street parking and HGV usage contribute to traffic chaos at times; · Future housing needs can be met – currently properties for sale and to let within the village.

Contrary to policy SP5 which protects habitats and environmental value. It lies within a Special Landscape Area and outside any Settlement Boundary. The site does not have support in terms of services, facilities and infrastructure. Overton has been catergorised as a 'Tier 3' yet public transport services have been reduced. The current waste water and sewage disposal system is probably close to capacity. Considering Policy SP11 Sustainable Design Principles this site may have a serious impact on the existing system. Major and costly work would have to be completed and in place before any housing development commenced. Additional traffic using the junction B5069/A539 would present highway issues which will not be able to be resolved due to the layout of the street. The site is agricultural and Government Policy is not to release good grade land for development. A full Ecology Report would be required as this is a habitat for Great Crested Newts (SP5) The Overton Conservation Area Assessment and Management Plan (December 2010) highlights the 'Important View' (illustrated on page 17) from double gates (Listed Structure).

Need to provide safe access would 982021 O04OS Overton Bangor Road Object A greenfield site in active, productive use as farmland. Regularly used for the grazing of livestock. Also crossed by public footpaths and bridleways in regular daily use. It is contrary Wrexham County Borough Council and the Welsh Government policy to consider prime, fertile agricultural land in active use for housing. It makes no sense to provide more houses to the detriment of food production. Developing this area would be detrimental to the rural nature of Overton and diminish its status as a heritage village. Difficulty achieving safe access from Bangor Road and would exacerbate problems of heavy traffic, congestion and parking, especially at school times St Mary's School. St Mary's School would not be able to cope with additional numbers; the local drainage and sewerage network would not be able to cope; the infrastructure and the roads around the village would not be sufficient to support the additional housing and Overton conservation area would be irreparably damaged.

The site is unsuitable. The proposed development is on currently used agricultural land. Any access on to Bangor Road would have a major impact on traffic passing through the village causing blockages on the A539 and A528. The road network cannot cope with an increase in traffic, particularly around primary school collection and drop off times. The proposed developments within Overton on Dee do not fit with the stated objectives and general ethos of the Preferred Strategy. Does not accord with Planning Policy Wales in relation to creating sustainable communities. Overton on Dee has little or no employment opportunities. It would be extremely difficult to generate any new employment in the local economy. The vast majority of residents therefore commute to work and any additional residents would increase the impact on the road networks and the environmental toll contrary to Objectives SO4, SO10 of Preferred Strategy. Overton is defined as a: Tier 3: Local Service Centre, however, the local post office is closing, the local road network is in severe need of maintenance and further increase in local resident traffic would further add to the deterioration. Public transport has been further reduced recently with the main bus service being reduced in the evenings and stopped completely on a Sunday. Development on agricultural land is contrary to Objective SO9which is intended to protect, manage and enhance the natural and historic environment and landscapes. The Maelor Way and the other local public Rights of Way being attractive to tourists and the historic Yew trees in the local churchyard are among the “Seven Wonders of Wales”. Local wildlife needs to be maintained and protected. The Preferred Strategy refers to the fact that there may be some settlements unsuitable for development. Overton should be considered as such given that the local sewage works is already at capacity and the potential environmental impacts upon the River Dee and surrounding farmland. Contrary to Objective SO6 which promotes and encourages a healthy, active and safe lifestyle as there are minimal

Contrary to policy SP5 which protects habitats and environmental value. It lies within a Special Landscape Area and outside any Settlement Boundary. The site does not have support in terms of services, facilities and infrastructure. Overton has been catergorised as a 'Tier 3' yet public transport services have been reduced. The current waste water and sewage disposal system is probably close to capacity. Considering Policy SP11 Sustainable Design Principles this site may have a serious impact on the existing system. Major and costly work would have to be completed and in place before any housing development commenced.

The site does not have support in terms of services, facilities and infrastructure. Overton has been catergorised as a 'Tier 3' yet public transport services have been reduced. The current waste water and sewage disposal system is probably close to capacity. Considering Policy SP11 Sustainable Design Principles this site may have a serious impact on the existing system. Major and costly work would have to be completed and in place before any housing development commenced. Additional traffic using the junction B5069/A539 would present highway issues which will not be able to be resolved due to the layout of the street. The site is agricultural and Government Policy is not to release good grade land for development. The well known and popular Maelor Way footpath crosses this proposed site.

982999 O06OS Overton Adjacent to St Mary's School Object The site is unsuitable for development. If additional housing is created, more children may wish to attend St Mary's School, which cannot accommodate many more children. Future expansion of the school would not be possible if houses are built on site O06OS as it encloses the school field.

983168 O06OS Overton Adjacent to Bramblewood Close Object Bramblewood Close is a single lane road and cannot cope with any more cars. The access into Bramblewood from Turning Street is currently hazardous as there is only on road parking and visibility is often compromised, with additional housing and cars this would compound the problem, making is dangerous and so close to St Mary's Primary school too.

994047 O06OS Overton Adajcent to St Marys School, Overton Object Objection – too close to the school. If these fields were developed my work (artist working from home) would be affected and my business would suffer.

Damage to existing newt and barn owl habitat. 1024550 O06OS Overton Adajcent to St Marys School, Overton Object Objection – This large scale development would alter the whole character of Overton, while some small scale development may be acceptable this scale would decimate trees and landscape. More school places needed, improved medical facilities and sewerage system revised. 1024679 O06OS Overton Adjacent to St Marys School, Overton Object Objection – prime agricultural land, important habitat (including Ash), evidence of badgers setts, GCN and wild flowers. Large extension and precedent for future unsuitable applications. Bangor Road is heavily used narrow and unsuitable for additional traffic. Public transport only links to Wrexham and Whitchurch and would not help alleviate the problem. School is fully subscribed. Sewerage system inadequate.

Fwe employment opportunities within the village and a very limited public transport system. As far as I am aware, there is no direct public transport towards Shrewsbury or Wrexham Industrial Estate and only a peak time hourly service to Wrexham and Whitchurch. As a result development will result in additional trips by car. Increase in number of vehicles and cars parking on the road results in increased congestion. Improvement in highways and increase in public transport will be required otherwise congestion will increase. Site O03CS has been granted planning permission and is on sale. Impact upon character and sense of community. 982310 O07OS Overton Land North of Fairleigh Object Object. The site is unsuitable. The proposed development is on currently used agricultural land. Any access on to Station Road would have a major impact on traffic passing through the village causing blockages on the A539 and A528. The road network cannot cope with an increase in traffic, particularly around primary school collection and drop off times. The proposed developments within Overton on Dee do not fit with the stated objectives and general ethos of the Preferred Strategy. Does not accord with Planning Policy Wales in relation to creating sustainable communities. Overton on Dee has little or no employment opportunities. It would be extremely difficult to generate any new employment in the local economy. The vast majority of residents therefore commute to work and any additional residents would increase the impact on the road networks and the environmental toll contrary to Objectives SO4, SO10 of Preferred Strategy. Overton is defined as a: Tier 3: Local Service Centre, however, the local post office is closing, the local road network is in severe need of maintenance and further increase in local resident traffic would further add to the deterioration. Public transport has been further reduced recently with the main bus service being reduced in the evenings and stopped completely on a Sunday. Development on agricultural land is contrary to Objective SO9which is intended to protect, manage and enhance the natural and historic environment and landscapes. The Maelor Way and the other local public Rights of Way being attractive to tourists and the historic Yew trees in the local churchyard are among the “Seven Wonders of Wales”. Local wildlife needs to be maintained and protected. The Preferred Strategy refers to the fact that there may be some settlements unsuitable for development. Overton should be considered as such given that the local sewage works is already at capacity and the potential environmental impacts upon the River Dee and surrounding farmland.

A greenfield site in active, productive use as farmland. Regularly used for the grazing of livestock. Also crossed by public footpaths and bridleways in regular daily use. It is contrary Wrexham County Borough Council and the Welsh Government policy to consider prime, fertile agricultural land in active use for housing. It makes no sense to provide more houses to the detriment of food production. Developing this area would be detrimental to the rural nature of Overton and diminish its status as a heritage village. Difficulty achieving safe access from Bangor Road and would exacerbate problems of heavy traffic, congestion and parking, especially at school times St Mary's School. St Mary's School would not be able to cope with additional numbers; the local drainage and sewerage network would not be able to cope; the infrastructure and the roads around the village would not be sufficient to support the additional housing and Overton conservation area would be irreparably damaged. This is, however, a vastly greater area of land and the consequences of developing it would be even more devastating for a heritage village like Overton.

982999 O08OS Overton Land North of Yew Trees Object This site is wholly unsuitable. It is such a large area that any development here would completely change the village of Overton. The site lies adjacent to The Avenue and would be clearly visible on the approach to Overton from Wrexham Road, changing the appearance of the village, as at present the approach is through a street of characterful cottages. It would place a strain on the village school and the capacity of the present sewerage system.

No local employment,commuter village, highways in poor state and existing road problem with the volume of vehicles parking, through traffic,HGV, congestion and unsafe for pedestrians.

982615 Overton General Overton Overton General Object Overton is up to capacity for sewerage disposal. Who would foot the cost of upgradng the plant? Our school is nearly full to capacity with no room for expansion. People currenly using the school cause traffic prroblems when taking and collecting their children from school. Trying to get an appointment at the Doctors in Overton can take nealy two weeks so an increase in numbers would have a knock on effect and people could end up dying before they get to see a Doctor.

New houses will mean a further dilution of our local culture.The majority of Overton is rustic in nature so a huge addition of new houses would ruin this. SO10-appalling public transport means more cars and more pollution. As there are hardly any jobs in the village (which I am sure are all taken already anyway), any people moving in will be travelling outside to work in places like the Industrial Estate. It would serve the businesses needs better and reduce pollution if new houses were located nearer to people's places of work. SO12-Overton's sewage system cannot keep up as it is (the Bramblewood Close development seems to have pushed it over the edge) and you can sometimes smell sewage. If it continues to grow, will developers upgrade and maintain them at their own cost?

983162 Overton General Overton Overton Object Overton is not best placed to deliver on the requirements highlighted in Policy SP7. Station Road is made up of large detached houses. Current legislation requires any possible development to be of a similar footprint and size to existing properties meaning this site could not possibly meet the objectives of providing smaller housing and appropriate housing provision whilst remaining in-keeping with the surrounding area. The smaller type of housing needs to be placed in a more accessible environment nearer services and facilities with good public transport networks. Overton cannot provide this.

983168 Overton General Overton Overton General Object I have huge concerns about the developments in Overton. This is a historic village which is currently suffering with problems with traffic. Both in terms of a huge amount of through traffic, especially large lorries. But also the amount of vehicles within the village, with many narrow roads it is making the village a hazzard to drive into and through. With an increase in housing this problem will only increase. Therefore destroying the character of the village.
