Plans for 45 homes in Prestatyn were backed by councillors despite concerns about a strain on local services. Developers Castle Green Homes applied to Denbighshire Council’s planning department, seeking permission to build the homes at Midnant Farm on Gronant Road.

The application was deferred at an earlier planning meeting in September after Welsh Water raised concerns Victorian sewer systems would be overwhelmed. But Stuart Andrew, representing Castle Green Homes, said the developer had met with Welsh Water, who conceded surface water draining from the farm site would no longer be doing so because farm buildings would be removed.
