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.
