Denbighshire County Council’s planning committee is set to re-examine plans associated with the redevelopment of the Royal Alexandra Hospital in Rhyl at a meeting on 17 June.
The application concerns a Construction Method Statement linked to the £33m project, which received full planning permission in December 2025.
The statement outlines how elements of the new three-storey healthcare facility will be constructed and managed during the build phase.
The redevelopment is being led by MTX Contracts, with planning led by Tetra Tech and support from a team of specialist consultants, including Curtins, MDA Wirral, Bowland Tree Consultancy, Survey Operations and DSSR.
The application concerns a Construction Method Statement for the approved Royal Alexandra Hospital redevelopment, setting out how off-site manufactured building components would be transported and installed during construction.
Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board previously secured approval for the new hospital and associated parking facilities on Marine Drive.
The latest submission focuses on construction arrangements, including the delivery and installation of modular building components manufactured off-site.
Under the proposals, construction welfare facilities and contractor parking would be located away from the main hospital site due to space constraints.
Temporary welfare accommodation, comprising stacked cabin units, would be situated at the former Coastal Defence Construction Compound on Marine Drive, while additional staff parking would be provided at the Pavilion Theatre overflow car park.
Planning officers have recommended approval of the application.
However, local residents have raised concerns regarding visual impact, noise, traffic disruption, pollution control measures and the potential effect on the area’s coastal character.
Objections submitted to the council also cite concerns about overlooking of nearby homes, impacts on health and wellbeing, and road safety during the construction period.
Funded by the Welsh Government, the redevelopment will deliver a purpose-built healthcare facility designed to expand local services in Rhyl.
Plans include a minor injuries unit expected to treat more than 20,000 patients annually, helping to reduce pressure on the emergency department at Ysbyty Glan Clwyd.
The new hospital will also house a 14-bed reablement unit supporting patients returning home following medical treatment, alongside expanded radiology services and four new dental suites intended to improve access to NHS dental care and training opportunities for dental nurses.
A decision on the Construction Method Statement is expected following next week’s planning committee meeting.
