Inspectors from Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW) will base themselves at Wrexham Guildhall to hear evidence in-person over the refusal of Wrexham County Borough Council to grant permission for the Redrow Homes development at Lower Berse Farm. As well as 1,450 homes the 73 hectare Key Strategic Site development – which covers an area of farmland equivalent to 102 football pitches – would also include a primary school and community facilities. The plans were re-submitted in October 2024 during Wrexham County Borough Council’s High Court battle over its refusal to adopt the Local Development Plan that would have allowed the ‘super-estate’ to go ahead. It contends that the super-estate development is strategically important to meet the housing needs of the people of Wrexham. “The site lies outside of the settlement limit for Wrexham, as defined by theUDP,” said Wrexham County Borough Council in its appeal response.
