Originally built in the 1990s as the clubhouse for Chirk Golf Club (which closed in 2012), the building operated as a café, bar, and restaurant between 2016 and 2019 before becoming redundant. The application confirms that no redevelopment is planned for the site following demolition. The risk assessment and method statement (RAMS) submitted with the application outlines that the demolition will involve utility disconnections, an asbestos survey and removal if required, internal strip-out, and mechanical demolition using a 20-tonne excavator. The Risk Assessment and Method Statement identifies key risks, including structural collapse, asbestos, live services, dust, canal pollution, noise, and unauthorised access. Control measures will include exclusion zones, water suppression, licensed asbestos removal, pollution prevention, traffic management, and emergency response plans.
