The proposed objectives are aspirational and should assist in facilitating beneficial sustainability outcomes. In combination, they appropriately respond to identified key sustainability issues and particular land-use and environmental planning problems.

The preferred level of growth set out in the RLDP is consistent with that contained in Option 4 of the previous consultation exercise.

AXIS made representations at that time that this was its preferred growth option as it is aspirationally based upon the aims and objectives of the Conwy Economic Growth Strategy which trends forward past job growth. It also takes into account sectoral employment analysis and national economic trends.

Given that the growth option is job driven, in-migration sees growth in the working-age population which supports the aspirations within the RLDP for economic growth and a more balanced population.

AXIS continues to agree with the strategy preference for focusing development in the more sustainable and serviced urban settlements and Tier 1 Main Villages within the Coastal Development Strategy Area (CDSA), consistent with representations made at the previous stage of consultation on the RLDP (Rep. ID. 27369).

The preferred strategy will direct development in line with the Wales Spatial Plan predominantly to primary key settlements and Tier 1 Main Villages with the capacity to accommodate development.

With regard to brownfield land development, the preferred strategy has the
necessary mechanisms in place to promote brownfield/despoiled land .

Rather than submitting any comments on specific Candidate Sites, clarification is sought on the classification of strategic sites.

The Candidate Sites Assessment Process document (see "Stage 4 Preferred Strategy") indicates that strategic sites are considered to be over 3ha in size - to provide more than 100 dwellings or 10,000m2 of employment floorspace.

However, the Preferred Strategy document itself indicates (page 8) that strategic sites are "...classed as being 6 hectares (60,000 sqm) or more, which could include a specific use or a mix of uses."

Accepted in Principle: The Stage 4 documentation has been superseded by the stage 5 Preferred Strategy documentation. However, the Candidate Sites Assessment Process document will be amended prior to deposit.

It is understood that the next stage of the plan-making process, once all representations received on the preferred strategy have been taken into account, is the production of the Deposit Plan.

It is also understood that the Deposit Plan stage will consider/include potential amendments to settlement boundaries to facilitate development objectives.

AXIS would like to be kept informed of future stages of Plan preparation in order that the potential amendments to the Llanddulas settlement boundary can be considered in the context of FCC's redevelopment proposals and the Council's development aspirations for the eastern area of the Coastal Development Strategy Area.
