We note that the proposed level of growth makes provision for land to accommodate 5,150 new homes to meet a housing requirement of 4,300. Welsh Water has no real preference regarding the options being considered.
We aim to ensure that sufficient infrastructure exists to accommodate domestic development, however where deficiencies are identified we look to resolve these through capital investment in our Asset Management Plans (AMP).
Developers can progress a site in advance of any regulatory investment by funding improvements to provide the necessary infrastructure themselves.

Preferred Strategy

The HBF considers that the proposed level of growth is not aspirational enough and although based on an economic led strategy, it is not one which takes full account of the potential of the area and the wider aspirations of North Wales.
The preferred growth option in terms of economic growth relies on the allocation of between 12-14 ha of employment land whereas the findings of BP18 recommended employment land requirement range is 12-21 ha. The Council would appear to have chosen the lowest level of land provision resulting in a low level of jobs created.
See attached documents.
Not Accepted: The Preferred Strategy matches the amount of jobs growth to the number of new dwellings needed, taking into population projections and need for affordable housing. This equates to 4300 dwellings (excluding contingency) and 1800 new jobs as identified the Employment Land Review Background Paper.
