Castle Green Homes submits plans for more than 100 homes in Denbigh

Developer Castle Green Homes has submitted plans for more than 100 homes in Denbigh.

The builder (formerly Macbryde), based in St Asaph, wants to develop land next to Ysgol Pendref.

It has put in an application for 110 units. These range from one bedroom apartments to four bedroom detached homes.

The plans include 22 affordable dwellings.

Last year Denbighshire council agreed to sell the agricultural land where the plans have been submitted - boosting council coffers by more than £1m.

A planning statement supporting the application said: “The delivery of 110 much-needed new dwellings in Denbighshire where there is an accepted shortfall in housing land supply and an overriding need for new homes.

“The proposed development will involve the development of an allocated housing site within the defined settlement boundary of Denbigh, the principle of which is both established and supported.”

It added that it would bring “the creation of direct construction jobs (on and off-site) over the lifetime of the build programme, and indirect jobs through the local supply chain via the purchase of goods and services”.

It comes as the developer has recently made senior promotions and new appointments in its design and planning department as the company concentrates on expanding its geographic footprint.

Stuart Andrew, Matt Christie, Phil Hargreaves and Dave Culshaw have all progressed internally and will work together collaboratively across all aspects of design - from individual house styles to site layouts - and steering sites through the planning process.

Leading the department as design and planning director is Stuart Andrew, 44, from Wrexham. Matt Christie, 34, from Llandudno, and Phil Hargreaves, 45, from Northop Hall, near Mold, have both become design managers.

Gwyn Jones, chief executive of St Asaph-based Castle Green Homes, said: “Since the management buyout of Macbryde last September and subsequent rebrand to Castle Green, we have made great strides towards growing the business both in our North Wales ‘homeland’ and in the North West of England.

“Stuart, Dave, Matt and Phil have worked incredibly hard and I believe it’s important to reward existing employees and provide the opportunity for them develop their roles.”
