Appeal launched over ‘ill-informed’ Wrexham takeaway plans refusal
An appeal has been launched after a decision to refuse plans to turn an empty shop in Wrexham into a takeaway was slammed as “ill-informed”.
Fears were also raised that children at Rhosddu Primary School, which is a 300 metre walk away from the property on Holyrood Crescent, could order in fast food using online apps.
Members of Wrexham Council’s planning committee said it went against the local authority’s guidance that takeaways should not be located within 400 metres of a school.
However, Ian Bolshaw, who is behind the proposals, has now lodged an appeal with the Planning Inspectorate in an attempt to have the decision overturned.

Wrexham schoolchildren help make the world a kinder place for people living with dementia
Wrexham schoolchildren are doing their bit to make the world a kinder, better place for people living with dementia.
Several schools across the county borough have been taking part in Dementia Friends sessions – learning more about the condition, and looking at ways to make life easier for individuals and families affected by it.
As part of this, the children have pledged to do different things to help create a more caring world for people with dementia.
Children at Rhosddu Primary School, who took part in a session earlier this month, made pledges to make scrapbooks of photos to help grandparents recall precious memories, to be polite and patient, and to make more time to be with relatives with dementia.
