A NEW housing estate is set to be given the green light on fields in Abergele - despite concerns about the scale of the development and the strain on services and roads.

The plans for 277 new homes on agricultural land on St George Road are set to be discussed by a planning committee at Conwy Council's Coed Pella HQ on Wednesday, November 12.

The proposal, submitted by Mr A Clarke, would see the demolition of existing farm buildings on approximately 12 hectares of fields straddling both sides of the road. The plans include detached, semidetached, and terraced dwellings of two and 2.5 storeys in height.
