refused.<\/p>\n<p>The proposals for the former Wynnstay Colliery in Ruabon have been turned down because of concerns about how it would impact the\u00a0listed Walker Fan House building.<\/p>\n<p>The application would have seen six houses built either side of the structure, which was created in 1902 to ventilate the colliery.<\/p>\n<p>According to the historic environment service Cadw, the monument is of \u2018national importance\u2019 for its potential to enhance knowledge of industrial practices\u2026<\/p>\n<p>However, Wrexham Council\u2019s planning department has now refused the plans\u2026 the authority said: \u2018Insufficient information has been submitted with the application to demonstrate that the proposed new development and remedial works will not directly or indirectly impact upon the scheduled monument, which is also grade II listed.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In addition, no evaluation of the footprint areas to determine whether industrial archaeological remains related to the colliery are present here has been provided.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Insufficient information has been submitted with the application to demonstrate that any resultant surface water generated by the development would be disposed of appropriately.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018In the absence of this information, it has not been demonstrated that the flood risk can be acceptably managed post development.\u2019\u2026<\/p>\n<p>In their proposals, the developers said the proposals should be looked on favourably by the council.<\/p>\n<p>In a design and access statement they said: \u2018The importance of the Walker Fanhouse has been recognised\u2026<\/p>\n<p>\u2026 However, our residential development proposal is outside the curtilage of the Walker Fanhouse and therefore having no impact on the ancient monument.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>The plans were refused by council officers using delegated powers&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><em>By Liam Randall \u2013 BBC Local Democracy
