Summary
The applicant wants to use land at Castle Park Industrial Estate in Flint to create a site with pitches for gypsy and traveller families, plus a shared building with washing and toilet facilities, and other associated groundworks.
The site sits close to the A548, a busy road used by around 16,000 vehicles a day, including over 600 lorries. It is also near the Dee Estuary, a protected home for wildlife, about a 5-10 minute walk away, and two local places of worship are within a similar distance.
Because the site is close to a protected nature area and a busy main road, and has a high reading for radon gas underground, the council is likely to look closely at wildlife protection, traffic safety, and building safety measures before deciding.
