Respondent: Mr Alun Williams

Our objections are
That it would have a detrimental effect on the environment and wildlife of the area
The building of 450 homes will add considerably to traffic and road congestion.
According to what I was informed at the public meeting last week the building of this development will also change the settlement boundary.
Added to this would be the increased pressure on our GP, dental, hospital and school services which are already at full stretch.
There may be issues on the impact on drainage.
Priority should be given to empty housing stock in the Colwyn Bay Area.

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, the provision of monies from developers towards schools where this is needed and land for a satellite surgery subject to the Healthboard's approval. The Health Board have been consulted on these proposals. Any drainage issues will need to be resolved to the satisfaction of NRW and CCBC's Environment department. Housing officers are currently looking at bringing empty homes into use where they can, however there is still a need for additional housing which this allocation addresses.
