L&G supports the objective of Strategic Policy 16: Retail, which will safeguard the leisure function of Llandudno Junction Leisure Park.
Page 105 of the RLDP Preferred Strategy states that proposals at Llandudno Junction Leisure Park will be subject to a criteria based policy to protect its leisure function. The definition of 'leisure' in such a policy should be broad, in order to enable flexibility in securing tenants and improve the offer at the Leisure Park.

a) I do not dispute the retail hierarchy for centres.
b) The Conwy Retail Study appears to be quite at odds to what is visible on the ground. To the West the plan highlights any latent needs will be satisfied by the Lidl scheme. The plan suggests that this replaces the lapsed consent on the Brickworks site, however that was for 100k sq ft. Does this imply that assessments have been revised?
The majority of policies within the plan are protective of change within town centres, yet not from detrimental effects outside those urban settlements.

(a) noted.
(b) The Conwy Retail Study was revised as part of the updated evidence base for the Replacement LDP. The retail need for the plan area was similar to previous, but it has now been split for different parts of the coast, to provide more flexibility with store sizes and better reflect the changing needs of the retail market.
