Wrexham councillor’s court win puts local development plan in disarray

After the judgement, Mr Jones called the ruling “a landmark” and a “major breakthrough”.

“The judgment, by the second highest court in Wales and England, is very clear,” he said.

“Local councils in Wales do have a choice when it comes to adopting these plans.”

Welsh government ministers, Mr Jones said, must now respect the votes not to adopt the plan.

“They should also disregard the December 2023 vote,” he said.

Wrexham council’s strategic planning member, Hugh Jones, said: “This judgement has implications for the council in both legal and operational terms and these are currently being given careful consideration.”

The Welsh government said: “We will consider the Court of Appeal’s judgment.”
