Respondent: Cadnant Planning

Representation Summary:

We raise an objection to Strategic Site 3 in Old Colwyn. We consider that Candidate Site 162 would be a much more logical site to accomodate the housing needs of the settlement. Candidate Site 162 would form a logical extension to the built up form of the settlement which would be bounded naturally by an existing employment uses.

Our response:

Not accepted. Site 162 is less sustainable in terms of proximity to local amenities and traffic impact on the five-ways roundabout. By comparison, strategic site 3 has better links to local amenities and bus services, presents an alternative opportunity for traffic flows east bound and consists of a rounding off/settlement extension rather than ribbon-type development.
