I wish to comment on LDP plan and how it will affect Llanfairfechan. I object to the proposals in that the GP surgery is already struggling after the extra burden of Penmaenmawr patients and could not cope with extra influx. I feel that if houses have to be built they should be predominantly council i. e. social houses.

Not accepted. Land will be allocated if required to ensure that there is sufficient GP surgery capacity. An element of affordable housing will be provided on-site.

I object to the size of the proposed development in Llanfairfechan. For a small town 400 extra houses will have a negative impact as the infrastructure is not in place to deal with this number of extra residents but also it will change the social fabric of the town as a large proportion of the housing would be filled by people not from the immediate local area, such a large development is completely unnecessary in terms of the needs of local people.

Not accepted. The site capacity has been reduced to reflect additional constraints that have been identified. Any impact on infrastructure will be assessed and mitigated for where required.

I strongly oppose the plan to build on the proposed site and believe that Llanfairfechan is being expected to accept a disproportionate amount of growth compared to other parts of Conwy Borough.

Accepted in part. Sites will be allocated across the plan area. The West part of the plan area is estimated to accommodate 10% of the growth.
The site capacity has been reduced to reflect additional constraints that have been identified. Other sites will be allocated across the County Borough. The West part of the County Borough is taking approx 10% of the identified growth. The strategic site at Llanfairfechan only takes a portion of this identified need. Additional sites and windfall will be required to deliver the remaining growth.

There is not capacity in Doctor's surgery. Following the closure of Penmaenmawr surgery, the service is already overstretched. Pen surgery closed due to candidates not coming forward to apply for vacant positions for GP practice. Additional people migrating to Llanfairfechan would mean an even lower GP to patient ratio. The policy does not meet the need for affordable houses for locals more than the 20% is needed the other 80% will be too expensive to buy since their income levels are too low to secure the mortgage needed. Other land in the town should be considered.

Not accepted: we have been working with the local health board, who have identified a capacity concern with the GP Surgery, but they believe it can be overcome through an extension. Land for this will be allocated through the RLDP if necessary. It is up to the Health Board in discussion and consultation with local GPs to determine the format of provision and resolve any staffing issues.
The 20% affordable housing is based on financial viability.
Impact on the Welsh language is assessed as part of the RLDP process and mitigation will be sought where necessary.
Stage 4 of the RLDP process (Pre-Deposit Participation) did take place and was open to consultation between 14 December 2018 and 25 January 2019.

The building of 400 homes would add over 1000 people to Llanfairfechan's population. This is too great a proportional change and would place too much strain on our infrastructure. Some aspects can be mitigated (eg school) but others are more difficult (eg additional GP capacity). I would be willing to support a smaller development of perhaps 100 homes.

Not accepted: The number of dwellings that the site is allocated for will be reduced to reflect additional constraints identified. GP Surgery and schools capacity will be mitigated as appropriate through the RLDP.

We understand we need new homes for people and a school but 400 houses are far too many for a village of approximately 3,650 people.
It will affect the culture and the Welsh Language.
There are countless empty buildings in the village that could be used.
We have no infrastructure, the current roads etc. are struggling to cope. There is no employment so Llanfairfechan is likely to become a commuter town.

As I understand it I understand there is a plan growth for 400 houses and a school in Llanfairfechan. Our primary concerns with this development are the sheer size of it which will increase the population of the village by a third, the location which will have a massive impact on the appearance of the village and the impact on the local culture.

Not accepted. The site capacity has been reduced to 250 dwellings to reflect additional constraints that have been identified.

It is understood that part of the site has suffered from surface water/pluvial flooding in the past. We understand that works to reduce flood risks on this site were carried out in 1990's.

We have no in principle issue with regards to effects on the setting of Snowdonia National Park. However, a well-considered indicative masterplan for the site would be required to ensure the development fits within its landscape and settlement edge context.

The landscape issues for consideration are:
a) Conserving the setting of Snowdonia National Park.
b) Development form and fit
c) Conservation of natural/heritage features of the site

Support for the allocation of a Strategic Site at Llanfairfechan. However, due to site constraints, the identified area appears to be insufficient to accommodate the envisaged 400 dwellings, consideration should, therefore, be given to extending the development area onto adjacent land in order to achieve the suggested site capacity.

Accepted in part: the number that the site is allocated for will be reduced to reflect the additional constraints identified. The site boundary will not be amended, as it is not needed to deliver the growth level set for the West area (10% of all growth). Other allocations, commitments and windfall will meet this level need.

The scale of growth identified in the strategy is excessive and unjustified to meet the needs of Llanfairfechan.
Such a development will significantly harm Llanfairfechan's character, biodiversity and landscape.
The Preferred Strategy fails to demonstrate whether Llanfairfechan has or is capable of delivering the necessary infrastructure to support this development.
There is no evidence of such a large housing need in Llanfairfechan.
Instead greater emphasis should be placed on a lower level of growth that supports existing community infrastructure and natural local population change.

Not accepted. The site capacity has been reduced to 250 dwellings to reflect additional constraints that have been identified. This will only deliver part of the dwelling requirement in the Western part of the Replacement LDP area.
Infrastructure requirements has been assessed and will be mitigated for if required.
The need for new dwellings has been assessed and makes up part of the evidence base accompanying the Replacement LDP. Providing for natural change only would not deliver the Vision and Objectives of the Replacement LDP.

It will destroy beautiful countryside and views. The size of the proposed development is too large and will place huge strain on infrastructure and facilities and doesn't appear to be based on evidence of local need. Sufficient new homes could be found by bringing empty properties back into use and developing brownfield sites. Green open spaces should be the last resort.

Not accepted. The impact on infrastructure and facilities has been assessed and mitigated for where necessary.The need for new dwellings has been assessed for the plan area as a whole and makes up part of the evidence base accompanying the Replacement LDP.

Don't agree at all. Why can't the school be extended at the back etc. Why can't brown field sites be done i.e. west coast all the way up by the fire station.
They won't be affordable for local youngsters.

Not accepted. The option to extend the current school site have been considered. The school site falls partly in a C2 floodplain. National planning policy seeks to guide developments such as schools away from these areas.
