In spite of the Vale Advertiser headline “Estate builders have misled us” (over lease- rather than free-hold land), it’s welcoming that the town council’s newly-formed Glasdir sub-committee feels that “the more negative comments there are, the more isolated it will become as an estate”. The town council initially opposed the development.
The reality is that the Taylor Wimpey/Taylor Woodrow/Bryant Homes Glasdir development is with us. Whether we feel that the town can justify this development, whether the town can handle a 10 per cent population increase, or whether we feel it will increase the risk of flooding within the town, the next three years will see the major development come to fruition.
Residential land at Glasdir forms part of a county council five-pronged approach to improve Rhuthun’s sustainability, alongside with the council offices, Tesco, redeveloped craft centre and the development of industrial land also at Glasdir.
While the jury’s still out one year and three months after Tesco and the prospects of light industry at Glasdir have gone quiet, there’s little to question the economic benefits of the new craft centre and county offices. And more people living and we trust working in Rhuthun will generate additional income for town traders, as we’ve said before.
Is it time to bury the hatchet on Glasdir?
Glasdir good or bad?

Glasdir good or bad?
- All properties and not just apartments will be leasehold, not freehold.
- “Parc Rhuthun” is not popular with some, because Rhuthun already has too many Parciau.
- The development was first named “Rhuthun Parc”.
- The land at Glasdir is on a local flood plain.
- Glasdir will stretch amenities such as local schools.
