Respondent: Bay of Colwyn Town Council

1. A clearer policy statement is requested in respect of 'affordable housing', the Town Council request a locally relevant definition.
2. Planning policy needs to encourage new housing growth to follow new employment growth.
3. The development of previously used, or brownfield, sites should be encouraged by planning policy.
4. There are some key areas in the Bay of Colwyn area that need to be considered as part of the review of green wedges, to prevent urban sprawl

Accepted in Part: The RLDP will be revised to reflect affordable housing proposals set out in the NDF. The current RLDP promotes an holistic strategy which reflects a balanced approach to employment and housing need. The sequential approach to site selection also favours brownfield land/buildings as a priority to support sustainable developments. The RLDP is also supported by a Green Wedge Assessment informing the green wedges in Colwyn Bay.
