Housing is needed in the area but I am opposed to such a huge development. This development will have a negative effect for local people.

Noted. The site capacity has been reduced to approx 250 dwellings due to other constraints that have been identified.

Too many new homes in a village/town this size causing huge impact on services; changing the look, general feel, character and culture of the village; ? Welsh language; flooding issue; area of natural beauty sweeping down from the mountains at entrance to the village/town; increasing number of empty buildings in centre of the village; HUGE EYESORE and IMPACT!
There is a local need but this isn't for Llanfairfechan residents. It has been loved over many many years by many many people and families from the wider local area and this will change that forever. You've already ruined the beach!

Not accepted. The site capacity has been reduced to approx 250 dwellings due to other constraints that have been identified. The dwelling requirement for the Replacement LDP includes an allowance for empty buildings coming forward.

In my view the proposed site for Llanfairfechan housing and school is appropriate.
However, many residents do not want this green space to be used.

Noted. The Strategic site will be the only site allocated in Llanfairfechan. Some windfall sites may come forward in other parts of the settlement, which will be determined through the planning application process.

I sincerely hope that the houses that are to be built will be Eco friendly. That they will be truly affordable houses that our residents can afford, taking into consideration that income locally is below the National average.
It is of vital importance that the infrastructure is in place before the development goes ahead not just practical things like upgrading the sewage works but public transport and other facilities. We are a small community, 400 houses is a massive increase, care and consideration of residents should be a priority, it will take time to come to terms with this development.

Noted. The Replacement LDP and national planning policy requires certain environmental and energyy saving standards be met. The dwellings on the site will include an element of affordable housing.
The site will be phased where required so that the necessary infrastructure will be in place alongside or prior to the construction of the site.

Whilst we appreciate the need for housing; BUT building 400 new houses will have huge implications on Llanfairfechan.
For example:
Has the doctor's surgery been consulted.
The impact on Ysbyty Gwynedd.
Are police services geared up.
How will the traffic be organised.
The existing sewerage system is very old and will require a major overhaul.
We would query the demand for even more properties.
The idea that it will supply more 'affordable' housing is somewhat mythical.
This development will also impact on the local environment with the loss of yet another piece of green belt.

Noted. The site capacity has been reduced to approx 250 dwellings due to other constraints that have been identified.
The local health board and Public Health Wales have been consulted on, and CCBC Planning Officers are working alongside officers there to ensure that any impact on health services are fully considered and land will be allocated where 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.
Highways surveys and assessments will be required and mitigation will be put into place where necessary.
An element of the dwellings provided on-site will be affordable housing and managed by local RSLs.

This land in question has always, in my living memory, been designated as agricultural land , being solely for the purpose of rearing livestock (see photographs).
I do understand that opportunities do exist to develop housing of some sort, even on agricultural land, and appreciate that local authorities must have a plan in place to address the housing shortage in Wales as in the rest of the UK.
Replacing such areas with a suggested development of 400 homes can only have a significant detrimental impact on this gateway to Llanfairfechan.

Not accepted. Candidate sites have been considered and assessed. Where possible, previously developed land has been used. There is a limited supply of this, which means that greenfield land must be considered instead. The highest quality agriculture lands are avoided where possible. An assessment of Best and Mort Versatile agricultural land will be conducted where advised by Welsh Government.
The site capacity has been reduced to approx 250 dwellings due to other constraints that have been identified.

I object to this proposal due to the following considerations:-
- the natural beauty of this entrance to and exit of the village would be destroyed.
- significant increase in traffic congestion, especially at rush hour with traffic attempting to exit the development whilst others dropping children at school.
- significant disruption and destruction of quality of life for the elderly residents of Llys y Coed, directly opposite the proposed development, both during construction and after completion.
- significant negative impact on already overworked medical centre.
- employment opportunities for this influx of residents?
- regular flooding of Aber Road.

Noted. The site capacity has been reduced to approx 250 dwellings due to other constraints that have been identified.
Highways surveys and assessments will be required and mitigation will be put into place where necessary.
Consultation with the local health board has taken place and additional land will be allocated if required through the Replacement LDP process. 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 Replacement LDP has policies and allocations for employment.
Natural Resources Wales have been consulted with and will advise regarding any flooding.

It is irresponsible of the Government of Wales in Cardiff to task every local council in Wales to identify sites within each of their respective areas of administration for the construction of houses, thus causing unnecessary worry and concern throughout the country. The Welsh Government's Town Planning Department must identify localities to foment and grow industry within reach of focal points of population, taking account of road/rail links and points of constriction, eg. Conwy tunnel. At a recent Llanfairfechan display, querying where locals could find work, I was told "Abergele"; that is some 18 miles away by the A55.

Not accepted. Welsh Government and naitonal planning policy is set up so that there is input from the local population and elected Members. National planning policy includes the National Development Framework, which identifies nationally important matters, including key growth areas and transport links.
The Replacement LDP also has policies for employment and allocations will be made in areas where required to encourage jobs growth in the area.

I object whole heartedly to development on this piece of land. My reasons are based on the impact that the development will have environmentally, culturally, historically and visually. This an area of natural beauty and a development of this scale will scar and blot the landscape beyond comprehension. With views out of the village up and into the Carnedau mountain range (part of snowdonia national park) this piece of land is stunninigly beautiful and forms a green area protecting the smalll rural community of Llanfairfechan.

The proposed development of 400 new houses on this site will stretch the local infrastructure.

Not accepted. The site capacity has been reduced to approx 250 dwellings due to other constraints that have been identified.
Landscaping and ensuring that the site is incorporated appropriately are planning considerations, which will be taken into account as part of the process.
An allowance for windfall sites has already been included in the dwelling requirement figures. This includes brownfield sites.

Development on this site is a significant shift in land use on green / agricultural fields which will undermine the history & culture of the village and landscape.

The 'high sensitivity' of the area which includes views from and to the Carneddau mountains will be affected by the development. The views from Aber Road up to the mountains could be considered an area of natural beauty. The impact of development on this site needs to consider both the views to and from the Snowdonia National Park and the impact on the new heritage lottery funding for the Carneddau Landscape Partnership.

Noted. The site capacity has been reduced to approx 250 dwellings due to other constraints that have been identified. The remainder of the dwelling requirement for the West will be met on other allocated sites in Penmaenmawr and/or Dwygyfylchi. Other sites in Llanfairfechan may come forward through the planning application process. An allowance for windfall sites has already been included in the dwelling requirement figures.
