Representation Summary:

The infrastructure isn't in place to support extra housing. Roads are congested already, through Old Colwyn & Llysfaen & Llanelian rd. Doctor isn't able to cope with local residents needs now, no dentist locally. Swn y Don "unsatisfactory" at Estyn inspection & other schools under budget pressure & experiencing staffing cuts, not a good educational environment for children. Wildlife habitat will be destroyed, proposed site is in open countryside. Parking is very limited in the Old Colwyn area with no visible way of improving it. This site has already been refused planning permission & the decision upheld previously.
