Pollution : I can confirm that I have no adverse comments to make regarding this
proposal.
Conservation : I have no concerns on this proposal from a design perspective. The

lost , No objections.
Natural Resources Wales:The application site lies entirely within zone C1 as defined
by the Development Advice Map referred to under TAN 15 Development and Flood
Risk ( July 2004).
Given the scale of the development , and in the absence of a Flood Consequences
Assessment , we consider the risk could be acceptable subject to the developer
being made aware of the potential flood risks and advised to install flood-proofing
measures as part of the development.
Recommend that consideration be given to the use of flood proofing measures and
the free flood warning service that operates for this area.
The application site is located 50metres from the Dee Estuary SSS1, SPA and
Ramsar site. It is not considered that the proposed development will have any
significant impact, either directly or indirectly, on the features , functionality or
