Respondent: Miss Anna Williams

Representation Summary:

I have concerns about the size of the proposed build in Llanfairfechan. 400 houses will be a lot of extra traffic and a strain on resources in a already busy area.
Very few will be able to afford a £180,000 houses without considerable further debt.
Currently on the market in Llanfairfechan there are a few first time buyer homes around £125,000 and under and a lot over £195,000 . However no suitable family homes in between. I propose that less houses are built and what is built is affordable for the average working household income in Llanfairfechan.

Our response:

Noted: Additional constraints have been identified for the site, which means that the number of dwellings proposed has reduced to approx 250. Developers normally provide a mix of house types on their sites. The site will also include provision for affordable housing.
