The development – on Llys Gwynant in Bryn y Baal – will comprise a mix of two- and three-bedroom townhouses, as well as three- and four-bedroom detached homes.

The houses will be constructed using a mixture of red brickwork, render and grey roofing tiles.

Plans to landscape gardens and substantial public open spaces have also been proposed, with an equipped play area within the main public area.

Macbryde intends to make the homes attractive to first-time buyers.

Simon Finlay, head of development at Macbryde Homes, said: “We are delighted to have secured our first development in Flintshire for several years and this will be an important step towards Macbryde Homes’ organic growth plans of achieving sites in each of the north Wales local authority areas.

“Mold – as with much of north Wales – desperately needs more good quality homes at affordable prices and we could see the clear potential that this site offered.

“We’re confident that the mix of properties that we’ve planned will not only provide much-needed homes to local people, but also complement the existing local landscape as we pride ourselves on the design and materials used across all our developments.”
