§ Mr. HainThe Welsh Development Agency recently sold its built property on the Parc Ty Gwyn site to a private sector property investor. It retains ownership of the remainder of the site.
105WThe Agency plans to maintain a close working relationship with the new owner and do all that it can to attract further investment and jobs to the estate. The resources generated by the sale will help the Agency to meet the cost of additional developments in North Wales during the coming year which should further enhance the economic and social development of the region. Any future developments on the site will require planning permission from the local planning authority which will take account of environmental considerations.
