Plans to join two existing buildings and merge indoor karting tracks in Sandycroft have been given go-ahead by Flintshire Council. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Apex Kart on Babbage Road in Sandycroft currently occupies two industrial units on Engineer Park, each housing a go-kart circuit. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Plans submitted to the council in May outline proposals to join the two buildings together with an ‘infill’ and merge the tracks to create one larger circuit. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Merging the two circuits will help achieve “competition status” and as a result increase the number of employees from 19 to 22, according to documents submitted by Parry Davies Architects. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The planning documents state, “The purpose of this extension for Apex Kart is to increase footfall and provide a greater customer experience. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

This would also help setting the business apart from their current competitors by providing tracks on par if not better in terms of size and ultimately experience.” ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

The application was approved this week by a council delegated officer. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​

Apex Kart was established in 1989 and is one of the longest running indoor karting centres in Europe. ‌​‌‌‌​‌‌‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​‍‌​‌‌‌​‌​
