Plot C5, Parc Bryn Cegin, Llandygai

Erection of a building to be used as a builders’ merchant at Parc Bryn Cegin, Llandygai, bangor

Cadnant Planning Ltd has been commissioned by Huws Gray Limited to undertake a pre-application consultation (PAC) in respect of proposed development on Plot C5, Parc Bryn Cegin, Llandygai, Bangor, Gwynedd.

We give notice that Huws Gray Limited is intending to apply for full planning permission for the erection of a building to be used as a builders’ merchant (sui generis use) and associated yard structures, loading areas, car parking, landscaping proposals together with associated works.

Prior to formal submission to the Local Planning Authority and in accordance with the requirements set out in Part 1A of the Town & Country Planning (Development Management Procedure) (Wales) (Amendment) Order 2016, the proposal will be subject to pre-application consultation.

About the Application

The application relates to the development of a builders’ merchant and associated external yard space on plot C5 on Parc Bryn Cegin, Bangor for Huws Gray Limited. This would see the applicant relocate their existing store from Llandygai Industiral Estate to Parc Bryn Cegin, which would enable Huws Gray to expand their Bangor site, which currently restricts future expansion.

Permission was granted for the development of Parc Bryn Cegin back in 2005 and it was hoped the park would create a more "prosperous local economy", but it has been empty ever since, until planning permission was granted recently at plot C1, which would provide very limited jobs. The proposed development could provide the first new jobs on the business park and act as a catalyst for further investment and development of the wider Parc Bryn Cegin site.

The development comes forward to kick-start the use of the site, with the proposal representing an investment of around £3M by a local company who wish to expand their Bangor site, providing additional employment opportunities for local people, most of whom are Welsh speakers.
