The land is outside of the settlement boundary and in open countryside. There will be an adverse effect on wildlife and the health and well being of the residents of Old Colwyn with the destruction of hedgerows, trees footpaths and nature trails. There is already an acute lack of amenity space in Colwyn. The infrastructure is not in place, all existing roads unsuitable for any increase traffic. Old Colwyn is already over developed.

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 needs. Comments from the Biodiversity and Countryside officer will be taken into account at the development brief/pre-planning application stage, but we will work on the principles of retaining as many natural features of the site as possible, e.g. Trees, hedgerows etc.
