Search the Public Notice PortalWrexham AFC’s new pavilion at Colliers Park will go before Wrexham Council’s Planning Committee on Monday – a week after the club officially opened it.
The application for permission to build the new structure was lodged in August when construction was almost complete – a fact that was picked up by Gresford Community Council.
“The council is disappointed to note that that this consultation was not received until the work is almost complete,” it submitted in its response to the planning committee.
It also raised concerns that the reduction in parking capacity at Wrexham’s training ground from 89 spaces to 72 may create parking issues in the surrounding area.
Natural Resources Wales also had questions regarding the projects sewage and drainage plans.
Having reviewed the proposals it said: “The applicant (Wrexham AFC) must demonstrate through further supporting evidence, including cost and feasibility information, why connection to the public foul sewer is not reasonably achievable before a private drainage solution can be accepted.
“Additional information is required to demonstrate that the proposed package treatment plant and discharge to the ground would not result in additional phosphorus entering the River Dee and Bala Lake SAC.
“In particular, clarification is sought regarding nutrient loading, the treatment system’s effectiveness, land suitability for discharge and the final discharge destination.”
Wrexham’s planning officers have recommended the pavilion for approval, but acknowledged that the retrospective aspect had posed issues.

“Being located within the established FAW Colliers Park training complex, the development represents a logical extension of an established sporting facility.” they said.
“The development is considered acceptable in principle and has not resulted in any unacceptable impacts on visual amenity, residential amenity, ecology, or the wider environment.
“Notwithstanding this, there are outstanding consultation responses from Natural Resources Wales in respect of foul drainage and potential nutrient impacts on the River Dee and Bala Lake SAC and the Highway Officer in respect of highway and parking matters.”
Members of Wrexham’s Planning Committee will consider whether to grant permission on Monday, September 7.
