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:

Look to use other existing brownfield and windfall sites within Llanfairfechan.

Our response:

Not accepted. The site capacity has been reduced to approx 250 dwellings due to other constraints that have been identified.
Landscaping and ensuring that the site is incorporated appropriately are planning considerations, which will be taken into account as part of the process.
An allowance for windfall sites has already been included in the dwelling requirement figures. This includes brownfield sites.
