A MAJOR homes development that also includes a new link road has got underway.

Anwyl Homes has broken ground on a development of 235 new homes in Mold.

The Ewloe-based family-run home-builder is set to create an estate named Dol Derwen - on the edge of the town. A new road will also be formed through the site linking Gwernaffield Road to Denbigh Road.

Flintshire council gave it the go-ahead last year. Council officers and the planning committee backed the proposals despite some local opposition. Community leaders had voiced fears that the scheme could add to problems with traffic and flooding in the area.
