Representation Summary:

The access road is too narrow to increase traffic and is not able to be expanded. We already have difficulty driving up and down the road. The open space is a haven for wildlife. Weather conditions I.e. wind strength does not make it a safe environment for building- danger to current residents and wildlife. Unsuitable access for further development

Change suggested by respondent:

Consideration to other more suitable areas to build on primarily due to access

Representation Summary:

Access very narrow if a car is parked on Ffordd Triban it is extremely difficult to drive another car past it let alone an emergency services vehicle or refuse vehicle. Increase throughput of traffic will increase chance of an accident due to narrow road and 90 degree blind bend. Site is prone to excessively high wind speed due to natural funneling effect and is unsuited to housing.

Change suggested by respondent:

Locate another site for LDP with better access and shelter from high winds.

Representation Summary:

Site ref 5 Pen y Waen Farm This site was previously rejected due to access problems. Ffordd Triban is a narrow cul-de-sac and vehicles parked on the road often restrict access, causing problems for emergency vehicles and recycling / dustbin vehicles and even, sometimes, for the residents of Ffordd Triban.. The area outlined lies outside the current residential boundary, and is home to a variety of wildlife, including bats, foxes, badgers, frogs , newts and many species of birds.

Change suggested by respondent:

I request that this site (5) is removed from the revised LDP

Representation Summary:

The access road, Ffordd Triban, has not been built/designed for further traffic throughput but merely as a cul de sac. It is extremely narrow with minimal passing opportunity for a car nevermind emergency services vehicle. Therefore I would consider it a threat to life and safety for residents.

Change suggested by respondent:

Due to restricted access and lives and safety of residents it is not a suitable piece of land for development. Other areas in the county should be considered and not this one.

Respondent: Mark Williams

Representation Summary:

Ffordd Triban is a narrow cul-de-sac, negotiating it is already extremely difficult, vehicles parked on the roadside already cause a severe hindrance to existing traffic, let alone emergency service vehicles. 'Riding' the pavement to pass each other is the only option when a single car is parked on the roadside. Waste collection vehicles already cause temporary grid lock each week. An existing blind corner further exasperates issues. Ffordd Triban could simply not cope with any increase in traffic and there would inevitably be accidents as a result. The site should be withdrawn.

Change suggested by respondent:

Due to the existing narrow width of Ffordd Triban as an access road and the existing traffic issues, the site (5) is unsuitable and should be withdrawn from LDP.

Respondent: Miss Natalie Pritchard

Representation Summary:

This site was previously rejected due to access issues and since then vehicle ownership has increased. It's a narrow cul-de-sac with 2 sharp bends. Access is already restricted with parked vehicles on the road, service vehicles struggle to manoeuvre, emergency vehicles can be obstructed and this is with the resident population as it currently stands. An increase in traffic will exacerbate this issue. The development of the land will destroy the habitat for bats, foxes, badgers, frogs, newts and birds. Development should not take place on green land but on more suitable brownfield and infill sites.

Change suggested by respondent:

I request that this site (5) is removed from the RDLP. There are sites with better and safer access, which should be considered. The protection of green land should be a priority and more imaginative consideration given to the redevelopment of brownfield and infill sites.

Respondent: Ms Kathy Cook

Representation Summary:

This area off Ffordd Triban, Cherry Tree Lane, Old Highways and Llanwrst Road is already under immense pressure from significant traffic flow along roads that were not designed to take this burden. The proposed area will be even more remote from the limited local bus service and any other service, such as school or medical services, will need to be accessed via personal transport or as a pedestrian along areas with no dedicated footpaths which in turn will increase pressure on narrow roads and runs the risk of increased accidents and potential loss of life.

Change suggested by respondent:

This area should retain it's notation of 'not suitable' and retained as an area of biodiversity for local flora and fauna.

Full text:

The area marked on the plan seems to be 'landlocked' except for access from Ffordd Triban - currently noted as a narrow Cul de Sac by Highways Dept. The to the nature of its narrowness and angular bends already presents access issues to the residents and any larger vehicles, such as delivery vans, waste disposal vehicles and trucks often have difficulties negotiating the road. In winter, it is not uncommon for the road to be iced over and on occasion to be snowed in. The Conwy Development Plan 2007 - 2011, (revised ed 2011) published in August 2012 featured this land at Item 64 (351) ' Land off Ffordd Triban, Upper Colwyn Bay. (extract) "Comments from the Council's Highways service state that Ffordd Triban would not comply with the Authority's highways standards if extended. The site is therefore unsuitable on highways grounds". The accompanying Assessment notation "Not suitable -
not ranked". Nothing has changed along this road to alter that statement.
It is also fair to notice that the land that has been outlined in the accompanying plan is outside the settlement boundary - as noted in the LDP proposal map and in all likelihood there has never been any forward planning for any form of water supply or drainage/sewer capacity for additional building in this area. It is also fair to note that there are limited resources in this area of Upper Colwyn Bay in terms of school, medical services and local facilities - all would have to be accessed either via car or the very limited bus route at the top end of Cherry Tree Lane. The area is already extremely busy with private transport via Cherry Tree Lane either to the Old Highway, Llanwrst Road or through Pen y Bryn Road to King's Road. All of these roads are in a poor condition and in the winter become extremely hazardous. Cars have been known to backslide down Cherry Tree Lane near the Zoo, as well as down the Old Highway to King's Road. At the height of summer, the junction with Cherry Tree Lane, the Old Highway and the entrance to the Zoo becomes gridlocked with visitors vehicles, coaches and service vehicles. Additional residences in the area will significantly increase the through traffic flow along narrow roads that struggle now and may well place lives at risk due to compression of traffic and the lack of appropriate pedestrian footpaths around the area. Additionally, it has been noted that the fields adjacent to the area marked for development are subject to significant flooding as well as the whole area being subject to high and strong winds - all year round! The biodiversity of the area benefits from this additional flooding as it produces a greater water source in the area and this in turn increases the range of flora and fauna across the landscape not only in the fields where this occurs but also in the area marked by the plan for development. The current usage of sheep grazing over the area also benefits from the improved biodiversity which is clearly of benefit to the local agricultural business.

Respondent: Mr John Whittle

Representation Summary:

It would appear clear that Ffordd Triban would serve as the access road to a new development. Assuming that the number of properties would be in excess of five it is a requirement that the minimum width of the road is 5.5 mts to allow reasonable separation between vehicles travelling in opposite directions. The width of Ffordd Triban is 4.8 mts thus rendering it unsuitable for access purposes. Any development would have an adverse impact on Cherry Tree Lane (feeder road) with potentially well over 100 additional daily vehicle movements negotiating the dangerous Cherry Tree Lane/Old Highway T junction.

Change suggested by respondent:

The site must be removed from the RDLP as access status cannot be approved by the Local Highways Authority.

Respondent: Adrian Ives

Representation Summary:

I believe an application for residential development on this land was previously submitted to Colwyn Borough Council. The access to the development was along Ffordd Triban and the application was refused on the grounds that the carriageway was too narrow to accommodate the resulting increased traffic flow.
The land now earmarked for inclusion on the RLDP makes no provision for alternative access. In view of the refused application to develop, this would result in the land being inaccessible and I am confounded as to why it would even be considered for inclusion unless the previous application had been overlooked.

Change suggested by respondent:

In consideration of my representation, I request that Site Reference 5: Land at Pen-y-Waen farm, be removed from the Replacement Local Development Plan.

Representation Summary:

Ffordd Triban is a narrow road and can be hard to access as it currently is.
The land at Site 5 (Land at Pen y Waen farm, Old Highway, Colwyn Bay) has been previously put forward as development land and was rejected by the Council because of the road width and access constraints of Ffordd Triban.
The road has not changed since. The situation regarding access has not changed and the site should not be allowed to go forward.

Change suggested by respondent:

The situation regarding access has not changed since the last application was refused.
I strongly object to Site 5 going forward to the RLDP and request it be withdrawn.

Representation Summary:

Ffordd Triban was quite obviously not designed for anything other than to serve the few houses built on it at a time in the early 1980's when car ownership per house hold was not anywhere near as high. The road is unusually narrow, with a less than safe junction onto Cherry Tree Lane. An increase in traffic would cause congestion and accidents. The character of the area which includes the Bryn Seion Chapel would be spoilt. Lastly, Conwy Council must make the process of objecting more user friendly. Finding, registering, navigating and finally placing an objection was quite a mission!

This is an extremely narrow road with already restricted access for home owners when cars are parked on the side of the road.

Representation Summary:

The road leading to Ffordd Triban is narrow, as is the cul-de-sac. This has already led to access problems for emergency and service vehicles due to increased car ownership in recent years, and roadside parking. Any increase in traffic will exacerbate this issue, which is already a problem. This, with the resident population as it currently stands.
The development of yet more green land will destroy valuable wildlife habitat for newts, bats, badgers etc. Protection of wildlife and green land should be given priority. The surrounding area has become very built up increasingly limiting habitat / range to Pwllycrochan woods.

Representation Summary:

Ffordd Triban would appear to be the proposed access road. The width of the road not only fails to meet the requirements for access road purposes but the visibility splay where the road swings at no.11 obstructs driver vision thus reducing driver reaction time to a hazardous level. This was not an issue when the road and plots were laid out as the now established hedge did not exist. Increase traffic passing through this point will undoubtedly increase the current acceptable hazard level to a dangerous classification.

Representation Summary:

The sewerage system serving Ffordd Triban has historical problems. Any development would surely require additional sewerage infrastructure to be installed. The junction from Ffordd Triban onto Cherry Tree Lane is obstructed on each side by the properties occupying the corner plots, Cherry Tree Lane is already a cut-through with heavy traffic flow. The first corner once on Ffordd Triban is blind and dangerous and can only be safely taken at 10mph or less, vans and 4x4's parked-up make this corner an accident risk waiting to happen as it currently stands. Heavy construction vehicles could not use this road safely.

Change suggested by respondent:

Aternative sewerage infrasturcture required, an alternative access road required, destruction of the areas character unavoidable. Road unsuable for heavy construction vehicles-one car parked on the road would render any construction vehcile trying to pass impossible without causing a risk to residents health and safety.

I strongly object to the development of proposed land. Access to the site is very restricted, Ffordd Triban is a narrow cul-de-sac that already has restricted parking, passing, turning space. It simply couldn't cope with an increase in traffic. The blind junctions at either end of Cherry tree lane are also unsuited to more traffic pressure. Concern over further erosion of green field sites. Development would require the removal of well established trees and hedgerows, vital habitat to birds, bats, badgers and other wildlife. Infrastructure like Roads, schools, GP's are already at full capacity in the local area.

I request that the site (5) is removed from the RDLP. Its been refused before because of issues such as access and those issues still exist (have got worse).

Service vechicles struggle to manoeuvre and emergency vehicles can be obstructed and this is with the resident population as it currently stands. An increase is traffic will exacerbate this issue.
The development of the land will destroy the habitat for bats, foxes, badgers, frogs, newts and girds. Development should not take place on green land but on more suitable brownfield and infill sites

Representation Summary:

Ffordd Triban a narrow road with tight bends, unable to safely give access to plot of land. Vehicles already parked at kerbside makes it difficult for deliveries, recycling vehicles, lorries and ambulance/fire services. Access to Ffordd Triban is difficult as Cherry Tree Lane has nasty blind bend outside Capel Seion, also steep sharp bends at other end. Also zoo traffic. Development will cause destruction of wildlife habitats. Pen y Bryn Primary cannot take any more children. I had to walk my two children to Mochdre as Pen y Bryn Primary School is oversubscribed.

Change suggested by respondent:

Greenfield land should be used to grow crops so that we don't have to rely on food imports. Definitely not for housing development. Utilise existing areas, which inevitably would require renovation of properties to make attractive homes. Brownfield areas exist throughout the County.

Representation Summary:

This site was previously rejected due to access issues the access road is a narrow cul-de-sac with 2 sharp bends and has an increased number of parked vehicles.
Due the high volume of traffic this proposed site would only add to the problems of obstruction for emergency vehicles,residents and pollution.
The council need to take into account the schooling of the new residents children as Ysgol Pen y Bryn is already over subscribed .
This site may impact negatively with problems of flooding the drainage during heavy rainfall is inadequate around the old High way hardly cope at the moment.

Change suggested by respondent:

I request the removal of site (5) from the RDLP.
This site will have serious negative impact on the local residents and flooding issues in Colwyn Bay.
Priority should be made to sites that are better situated and are brownfield sites.

Change suggested by respondent:

I request that this site (5) be removed from the RDLP. There are sites with better access and suitability available ,which should be considered first.

Representation Summary:

I wish to object to the proposed development due to the following reasons:
A: The sewerage system is inadequate now let alone having to deal with upwards of another 100 houses,
B: It is very obvious that the road in Ffordd Triban is far too narrow to accommodate additional traffic.
C: Inadequate amenities and NO GP SURGERIES in Colwyn Heights. The current surgeries cannot cope with yet more patients.
D. The detrimental affect it will have on the residents already living in the area with additional pollution, lack of playing areas for children etc.

Change suggested by respondent:

The area is simply not suitable for the additional number of houses. I object in the strongest possible terms!!!

Representation Summary:

Ffordd Triban is a narrow road with a blind corner from Cherry Tree Lane. The building of over 100 new houses would increase the cars by upward of 200 (assuming 2 cars per household) plus any visitors. Sewerage problems are already an issue for some residents. A development of this size will surely have a negative impact on the local school and GP surgeries. Plans have also previously been rejected and nothing has altered since then.

Change suggested by respondent:

I object to this development it should not be allowed to go ahead

Representation Summary:

This is a narrow cul-de-sac with two sharp bends. Access is already restricted with many vehicles parked on the road.With an increase in population extra traffic will only make the problem worse. More importantly development of this land will destroy the habitat for alot of wildlife including foxes,badgers,birds,bats,frogs and newts. Development should not take place on green land but on brownfield and infill sites which are more suitable.

Change suggested by respondent:

I request that this site (5) is removed fromthe RDLP. Sites with better and safer access should be considered.The protection of green land should be an absolute priority and consideration should be given to the redevelopment of brownfield and infill sites.

Representation Summary:

This site has previously been rejected due to the access problems and since then the situation has got worse. There are already serious problems in this narrow cul-de-sac with parked cars making difficulties for service vehicles to access properties. We look to preserve the natural beauty of this area and with it's natural habitat such as bird, foxes,badger, bats, frogs and many others. It would be far better selecting a more suitable site that is not spoiling the beauty of this country side area and creating havoc for already existing residents.

Request for site to be removed from RDLP. Select a site that is safer and has better access to it.

I strongly object to the planning of new homes on this site. Not only because of the access issues and the increased traffic flow it would bring to an already busy area. But mainly as I believe I don't believe the school could handle an influx for that many new homes, with funding as it is I believe ysgol pen y Bryn already struggles to provide for its students.

Please remove this site from RDLP, and choose a site with better access and a better infrastructure. Please protect the green land for future generations.

Representation Summary:

We strongly object to the proposed development. Ffordd Triban is a very narrow cul-de-sac and very often have restricted access due to vehicles parked on the road. Ffordd Triban can only just cope with the residents traffic. The infrastructure around Colwyn Heights is already at breaking point, Cherry Tree lane, the Old Highway are only just capable of coping with existing traffic. The school and doctors are already at full capacity. If CCBC has previously turned down applications to develop this land on the grounds that Fforrd Triban is too narrow why has it accepted another application for this land?

Change suggested by respondent:

Application to be denied.

Respondent: Mr David Roe

Representation Summary:

This site has previously been considered and rejected on the basis of inappropriate access. I cannot see how it can be demonstrated that a proposal for safe vehicle movement has been improved since this last application. There are 2 right angle bends in the cul-de-sac with limited visibility, especially due to the fact that there are now more cars parked on Ffordd Triban than previously and the UK Governments proposal that pavement parking should be discouraged. A substantial increase in traffic on this road will naturally make it intolerably dangerous in my opinion.

Change suggested by respondent:

My thoughts and comments above should be seriously considered and remove this site from the RDLP. There will surely be MANY other sites within the County that would be more suitable, particularly when you're considering fitting accsss.
