New bid to build more than 100 homes

AN affordable housing development previously likened to a “ghetto” by a councillor has been resubmitted with four properties removed.

- 

Castle Green Homes has submitted a new application to build 117 homes on Quarry Farm on Leadbrook Drive in Flint just six months after an application to put 121 homes on the site was branded a 'ghetto' by True Independent's group leader Cllr Carol Ellis.

The strong language used was in relation to the site - which will be made up of 100% affordable homes - having a building density of 43 properties per hectare - way above the benchmark of 30.
