PLANS have been put forward to breathe new life into a derelict former military airfield.

Deeside Regeneration Limited wants to create four new industrial units on Zone One of Deeside Industrial Park.

If the proposals are successful, the units will be built at a vacant site off Drome Road for office, general industrial and storage and distribution use.

In a planning document, the company said the development would bring new jobs to the area.

They said: “The development site is situated in a former military airport, which has been subsequently been developed into an employment area which

incorporates the following uses; primarily a mixture of offices, distribution and industrial uses.

“The site previously comprised a cluster of industrial units which have

been demolished, therefore the site currently comprises a clear level

site.

“The site has the advantage that it is in the centre of an existing employment area and given that it is relatively regular it is suited to a four unit

development, with segregated service area and staff parking.

“The proposed development will bring a currently vacant site back into use, improve the setting of the adjacent listed buildings and create additional

employment opportunities in the area.

“It is considered that these proposals offer a form of development and quality of design appropriate to the location and the proposed building use.”

A consultation period on the proposals has now started and will run until 16 November 2018.

Flintshire Council is then aiming to make a decision on the plans by 4 December.
