Change suggested by respondent:

I STRONGLY OBJECT to the proposed development plan. This area has been previously rejected for planning, as Conwy Local Development Plan; Deposit Plan 2007-2022 details. Previous reasons for rejection states "The development would extend into open countryside and would be harmful to the appearance of this landscape. The demand for housing can be met by other proposed sites in more sustainable locations". These reasons remain valid and applicable, in addition to the reasons I have highlighted above. Furthermore, the area adjacent to Peulwys Estate has already been granted permission to build a significant number of additional Cartrefi Conwy houses, therefore this should be considered more than enough sustainable development for such a small area.
