I take issue with the document already quoting a proposed 400 houses in Llanfairfechan. This has only led to panic and concern amongst residents and is not a positive way to introduce the need for house building in the area. Facebook is now packed with negative comments and moral panic about the effect on the village.

The vision states there will be an 'increased range of well-designed accommodation will be provided across Conwy, based on the local need for affordable and open market housing.'

Not accepted. Public consultation has taken place in-line with the Delivery Agreement and Welsh Government requirements. The next stages of producing the Replacement LDP will include further public consultation. All comments are considered and responded to by CCBC Planning Policy Officers. All comments received will be assessed to determine whether in 'planning terms' they represent a potential change to the RLDP. No comments are overlooked, but their assessment will be based on the underlying planning issues raised.

Sustainable Placemaking in Conwy.

The main objectives of the RLDP are, in general, supported. However, how the Preferred Strategy "trickles down" to the specific policy areas is not clear in some circumstances.

There are parts of the RLDP which are inconsistent with the Preferred Strategy and accompanying policies, for example, in relation to Tier 2 Villages and housing allocations.

Not accepted. The Preferred Strategy does not include any allocations in Llysfaen. A number of candidate sites have been submitted for consideration in the village however, but these will not be allocated for development in the RLDP if the settlement hierarchy remains as it is in the PS.

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.

I largely agree with the overall development vision and objectives which relate to the issues within the Borough. However, I do not believe these are fully addressed through the plan.
