Respondent: Mr & Mrs Merfyn & Rhiannon Thomas

The proposed development suggests a population increase of over 1300.
The roads are already congested, 450 houses will exacerbate this.
There is very little parking in Old Colwyn.
The proposed new road is very unsafe.
Schools faced 4% budget cuts in 2018/19, local schools had to make teaching/support staff redundant.
The surgery is struggling to meet the needs of the local community.
The proposed site is outside of the settlement boundary and in open countryside.
Building over 400 houses on open countryside with have a significant impact on local wildlife.
Health Board and local surgery not consulted.

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 satellite surgery subject to the Healthboard's approval. The Health Board have been consulted on these proposals.
