Search the Public Notice PortalA new car wash and valeting service is the latest business to be approved at a former aerospace parts, engineering and manufacturing site in Bangor.
A change of use of an existing industrial unit at the Denis Ferranti Meters site has been agreed with conditions by Cyngor Gwynedd planners.
The famous Ferranti site at the Bryn Llwyd works, had operated at the heart of the city for 71 years, originally starting out in 1951 until it closed in 2022.
At its height it employed around 1,000 people in engineering and manufacturing.
After it was sold to the Bearmont Group, the industrial site underwent a major revival and refurbishment programme and was renamed Parc Bryn Llwyd.

The regeneration has since been attractive to occupiers with units being let to provide a number of businesses, professional services and leisure facilities, including sports courts for activities such as padel ball and pickle ball.
The latest application has been made by Nazim Uddin of Bangor Valeting Ltd through the agent Brian Sheriff.
Planners agreed to a change of use of an existing industrial unit to a unit providing a car washing service and a valeting service at the Denis Ferranti Meters site on Caernarfon Road.

A green infrastructure statement, attached to the application stated: “Our proposal is to install a new valeting company with internal fixtures and fittings including a new drainage interceptor into an existing factory unit that is currently vacant.
“It will significantly enhance the aspect of the street/area and that the existing structure ensures that the property is in use and is properly protected from the elements and does not deteriorate.”
The applicants “do not envisage that our proposal will have any effect on
biodiversity”.
The equipment described is predominantly used in vehicle wash down areas or jet wash bays to separate detergents or silt and dirt and to prevent them from being discharged into the drainage system.
Conditions to the plans being agreed included signs informing and promoting the development both within and outside the site must be Welsh or bilingual with priority for the Welsh language.
Also, prior to starting use, biodiversity enhancements must be undertaken and be submitted to and approved in writing with the local planning authority, and to ensure the satisfactory development of the site, to safeguard the visual amenities of the area.
