The land proposed is outside the settlement boundary and therefore in open countryside.
The local secondary school is at this time full and has lost 13 staff to redundancies this year.
The one doctor's surgery in Old Colwyn is full.
There is a question on the viability of this plan from the point of view of developers.
The main issue is the traffic issue.
There is no public transport within easy reach of this proposed development.
Although there is a need for houses in Conwy people cannot afford three and four bedroom houses.

Noted - The concerns are recognised and will be addressed through various measures put in place during the planning process, for example following the recommendations of Transport Assessments as agreed with the Council's Highways officers, the provision of monies from developers towards schools where this is needed and land for a satellite surgery subject to the Healthboard's needs. The Health Board have been consulted. Comments from the Biodiversity and Countryside officer will be taken into account at the development brief/pre-planning application stage, but we will work on the principles of retaining as many natural features of the site as possible, e.g. Trees, hedgerows etc.
