Respondent: Bay of Colwyn Town Council

Whilst we accept the need for some new housing sites in the Bay of Colwyn area, we have concerns about the proposed strategic site in Old Colwyn:

There are significant access and highways issues which need to be overcome to facilitate the allocation of a site of this scale.

Though it is noted the developer(s) would be required to make a contribution towards the infrastructure , there is uncertainty and significant local concern about how these will be staffed/resourced.

We would prefer to see housing development following employment growth.

Greenfield sites should provide a substantial proportion of AHLN.

Noted - The concerns are recognised and will be addressed through various measures put in place during the planning process, for example following the recommendations of Transport Assessments as agreed with the Council's Highways officers, the provision of monies from developers towards schools where this is needed and land for a satelite surgery subject to the Healthboard's approval. Levels of Affordable housing will be dictated by a specific policy in the LDP which will be informed by the National Development Framework for Wales.
