Representation ID: 27741

Received: 17/09/2019

Respondent: Sheila Jackson

Representation Summary:

The local infrastructure will not accommodate 450 units. There are already plans for developing 250-300 units at Ty Mawr, 110 at Plas Gwilym, 5-7 adjacent to 123 Peulwys Lane and flats on Llysfaen Road. This number exceeds the number built in the previous 15 years, therefore the above sites will meet our next 15 years requirement. If this number of large developments continue Colwyn Bay, Old Colwyn and Llysfaen will become one conurbation,which will result in all three losing their identities.

Our response:

Noted - The concerns are recognised and will be addressed through various measures put in place during the planning process, for example following the recommendations of Transport Assessments as agreed with the Council's Highways officers, Agricultural Land Assessments, the provision of monies from developers towards schools where this is needed and land for a satellite surgery subject to the Healthboard's approval. In terms of the other sites referred to, Ty Mawr will be included in the deposit plan and will count towards supply. Plas Gwylim has been subject to an appeal and court decision and it is not clear at this stage if housing development will take place on this site
