We fully support the priority in the policy when considering the cumulative effects of incremental development.
As you are aware, TAN15 is due to be revised by Welsh Government. In advance of this, Welsh Government have now published for consultation The Draft National Strategy for Flood and Coastal Erosion Risk Management in Wales, which is available via this link.
See attached documents.
Noted. Text will be amended to clarify

Flooding Planning Restrictions - I would like to see Sea Defences strengthened on Kinmel Bay Promenade in view of global warming. I would also like to see River Clwyd West Bank strengthened.
Furthermore brown field sites should not be given priority if planning restrictions are lifted in Kinmel Bay as is planning restrictions are lifted in Kinmel Bay far more building land will become available
If more houses are to be built in Kinmel Bay a new school should be built along with a new medical centre with respect to the 21st Century project.
See attached document.
Noted. Areas of flood risk will be avoided in line with national guidance.

The River Gele has more recently shown level rises which appear to be above the norm, there have been recent flood warnings particularly for the River Gele and the River has overtopped this year, west of St Asaph Avenue.
In general , in relation to global sea rises and Flood defences reviewed there has been more concentration on the Kinmel Bay sea front promenade and the river Clwyd West Bank.
The LDP should not be restrictive by referencing or offering priority ring fencing to any particular site, however, maintain total flexibility as stated.

Kinmel Bay and Towyn has a number of brown field sites which I have no doubt in the future may well be suitable for development which are in close proximity to both the River Gele and the Ffynnon a Dol, but are also close to the infrastructure, utilities and services such developments would need.
These sites must be give priority over green field sites especially those external of the towns boundary, to help with the regeneration and ultimately long term suitability of the Town.
