The application seeks permission for permanent use of the land for storage purposes, batching of concrete, recycling of inert materials, maintenance of civil engineering plant and the export of finished materials and products at the Former Seiont Brickworks site. The application also seeks to formalise the existing haul route and create a new access onto Waunfawr Road which would serve the proposed use.

The site of the former Seiont brickworks factory has been used as a temporary compound in connection with the Caernarfon to Bontnewydd bypass (‘the bypass’) construction project, under two planning permissions, reference C17/0011/19/MW and C17/0107/19/LL. This area contains offices, mobile concrete batching facilities, heavy plant workshop facilities, materials processing and storage areas and associated car parking.

With the bypass construction nearing completion, this application seeks to facilitate a suitable use for the site on a permanent basis. This application is separate to the intended Development of National Significance application for a gas fired short-term operating reserve (STOR) electricity generation plant which is proposed for an area adjacent to this proposal.
