Plans to create a new access road and lorry park to serve a wood panel factory have been recommended for approval.
It follows claims that the major development linked to the Kronospan site on Holyhead Road, Chirk, will significantly reduce the number of lorries travelling through the town.
If approved, the scheme would result in the creation of a new access road to the north of the site off the B5070, along with a four-arm roundabout. In a report to councillors, David Fitzsimon said: “The Kronospan manufacturing facility is a major local employer within the Chirk area, and within the wider county borough, with the site employing over 600 staff.
“In addition, with regards to noise, at present it is noted the existing lorry park serving the Kronospan facility requires HGVs to reverse into parking spaces, and this results in additional engine and reversing alarm noise. Concerns have been raised regarding the impact the plans would have on the nearby Pontcysyllte Aqueduct and Canal World Heritage Site, as well as the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
