Halkyn Community Council: providing that the application complies with Policy, then no objections are raised.
Public Protection: I can confirm that I have no adverse comments to make regarding this proposal.
Highways (DC): I have no objection to the proposal and confirm I do not intend to make a recommendation on highway grounds. Supplementary Notes to be issued.
Rights of Way: No response received at time of writing.
Clwyd Powys Archaeological Trust : Information held on the Regional Historic Environment Record indicates that although the development appears to have limited sub-surface archaeological implications the proposal will affect a traditional stone farmhouse and outbuilding range of the 18th -19th century which retain features of local architectural interest. It would be unfortunate if these building were converted without a basic record of those features which will be altered by the proposed works.
I would therefore ask that the applicant is required to carry out a photographic survey before development commences, in order to preserve a record of these buildings in their original form and layout. To facilitate this request an appropriate condition is requested to be attached to any consent.
Legal: Provided that the intended development does not extend into the area edged green it will not affect the common land registered under CL11 of Commons Registration Act 1965. This property actually fronts directly onto the common land at this location.
Open Spaces: No response received at time of writing.
Flintshire Forum: No response received at time of writing.
Ecology (wildlife site): No response received at time of writing
Neighbours: No response received at time of writing.
