MORE than 90 new homes have been earmarked for the outskirts Rhyl.

A application has been submitted to Denbighshire County Council by Anwyl Homes, on agricultural land between Dyserth Road and Bro Deg, hopes to add the new properties to 374 houses currently being completed at the developer's nearby Parc Aberkinsey development.

To date the developers have completed the first phase at Parc Aberkinsey of 143 properties, with about 60 further properties in both phase two and three nearing completion.

A design and access statement aid: "The development of this site has been guided by a simple and robust vision.

"This vision is to create a unique design led solution which responds to the needs and characteristics of the area and the site forming a reflective identity of Rhyl

"To provide a high quality sustainable residential neighbourhood which maintains and enhances the key existing landscape features, integrating the site into the wider area."

To help this new development blend into current works, there are plans for some landscaping and tree planting to minimise the visual impact of the site, as well as selecting building materials based on existing properties.

Plans also include 10 percent - 10 of 96 properties - of the development being allocated for affordable housing.

Residents have until Tuesday, January 12 to make their voices heard on the proposal in public consultation, which will feature predominantly four and three bedroom properties.

One resident said: "I think putting 96 dwellings in this area is too much. There are not many areas in the Rhyl area that are untouched and still accessible to the public.

"This is a lovely peaceful area which has a lot of wildlife is going to be ruined."

Concerns have also been raised by Rhyl Town Council for the increase in traffic on the B5119 particularly at the Pen Y Maes junction and the “Dyserth Bends” section.

The two access points to the site will be through the existing Parc Aberkinsey development, with all traffic to the development using an existing route which is currently closed for construction purposes.

At December 5 meeting with residents, the town council has resolved to call on the county council to delay further construction until the existing traffic problems have been addressed, as well asking for further proof that the development will not impact existing infrastructure and will allow access to public transport.
