Respondent: Mr James Stevenson

Representation Summary:

I object whole heartedly to development on this piece of land. My reasons are based on the impact that the development will have environmentally, culturally, historically and visually. This an area of natural beauty and a development of this scale will scar and blot the landscape beyond comprehension. With views out of the village up and into the Carnedau mountain range (part of snowdonia national park) this piece of land is stunninigly beautiful and forms a green area protecting the smalll rural community of Llanfairfechan.

The proposed development of 400 new houses on this site will stretch the local infrastructure.

Change suggested by respondent:

Find an alternative site within the village. The Heath council offices, the old schools, many other suitable windfall and brown field sites exist that don't require digging up beautiful green field sites. But developers don't want that do they? They want sites that are easy to develop, costs less so they can make more profit.

Our response:

Not accepted: an element of windfall has already been included as part of the RLDP housing figures. This would include the sites mentioned. Parts of the school and the Heath sites are floodplain and so cannot be developed for residential use. The infant school is Church owned and has not been submitted by the owner as a candidate site.
The number of dwellings the site is allocated for has been reduced.
