Land at Pen Y Waen Farm, Old Highway, Colwyn Bay
I believe the land in question is part of a "green wedge" as defined in "Planning Policy Wales" (2002) where it states in Para.2.6.18 that developments would be "...inappropriate unless they maintain the openness of the... green wedge." The Colwyn Borough Local Plan (1995), Policy CN5 specifies a "Green Barrier" between Bryn Y Maen and Colwyn Bay, and Para 2.45 talks about minimizing the encroachment of developments into open countryside, preventing "town cramming" and protecting green spaces within defined settlement limits which are of high value "in terms of local amenity and public enjoyment and to prevent " the merging of settlements." This proposal, I believe, breaches these wise sentiments, nibbling into the "wedge". Further, I do not believe the local infrastructure, especially roads and drainage, can be adapted without much disruption to the amenity of local residents. Finally, the area currently is the habitat for badgers and foxes (they dig holes in my lawn regularly!) and should remain protected.

Until proper roads and access are established what a waste of time this would be, Ffordd Triban is too narrow and too residential as is Cherrytree K
Lane.
Removal of this application from the RDLP as a travesty to our already diminishing countryside and to protect the beautiful fir trees growing on the land.

Site previously rejected due to access issues, vehicle ownership is increasing yearly making vehicle access even worse, not just in the immediate cul de sac but surrounding roads which are all narrow. As we are constantly being made aware of conservation and environment issues development should not take place on green land but more suitable brownfield sites. The number of houses proposed would put a huge strain on local infrastructure which would impact on all local residents.
I request that this site (5) is removed from the RDLP.

Ffordd Triban is a narrow cul-de-sac, as you turn into the road you encounter a sharp blind bend. Cars are parked along the road, there is usually only access for 1 vehicle to pass in either direction. I live opposite the entrance of Ffordd Triban and have witnessed wagons having difficulty maneuvering into the cul-de-sac.
Living on the heights, access to work, supermarkets etc is not easy, the majority of households have at least 1 car. If over 100 additional cars use Ffordd Triban, this will have an adverse effect on the residents, i.e. safety and noise.

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
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.

In the mid 1980s cherry tree lane's road was adopted by the council, after the second time of being taken to court, at the time of the adoption the council, in court stated that the road would not be used for a one way system or a thoroughfare to Mochdre. At the time the zoo entrance to the lane was of concern to the court due to volume of traffic. If planning permission is granted for this site, the volume of traffic will cause safety problems.
Site number 5 be taken off the RDLP on the grounds that Cherry Tree Lane is not suitable to carry a larger volume of traffic

The proposed access to the site is a narrow cul de sac often with vehicles parked on the road. This entails negotiating the blind bends slowly on the wrong side of the road. Any increase in traffic will significantly increase the risk of an accident. The noise and pollution generated by the increased traffic from this development, both during construction and once completed, will have a major detrimental effect on the adjacent area and to the quality of life for those already living here.
That the proposed development is not included in the Replacement Local Development Plan

Acknowledging this represents an extension of houses already built, of key concern are the following; - a. Already under great strain, the load to current arterial road routes cannot sustain further increase. Others recognise car usage (a necessity given the geography), to which one must factor traffic associated with services the proposed houses; 2. Water and sewage infrastructure; 3. Impact on local schools with limit opportunity for expansion; 4. An adverse impact on an area of great beauty, which includes a richness of wildlife; 5. Why this re-application where its extremely unlikely reasons for the previous rejection decision still prevail.
That its withdrawn and before extending house construction onto green belt, active efforts are made to optimise use of lands currently zoned for this purpose.

New properties in this area are mainly large detached. Doing intensive property development will change the nature of the area, The access road to this site is not suited to a large site development. If it were developed a small number of "cul-de-sac" houses should be maximum. Ffordd Triban road is narrow & sharp bends. Not suitable for widening or straightening. Adding dozens of houses at the far end will cause dangerous traffic conditions. The field is important to Eithinog Leonard Cheshire Disability Centre which cares for many disabled people. This development would change the nature of that hospital.
The site is not suitable & I would ask for it to be removed from your list.

If access is via Cherry Tree Lane and Ffordd Triban then these roads are too narrow for increased traffic and heavy vehicles needed for building work. There are already problems if cars are parked in these roads when the recyling vehicles come. If cars are parked on the pavement to allow large vehicles to pass there is a danger to pedestrians, wheelchair users and people with prams.
The doctor surgeries are in Colwyn Bay where it is already difficult getting appointments for existing residents.
Is there provision for extra school children?
If this goes ahead it will destroy wildlife habitats.
I request that this site (number 5) be removed from the RDLP and remain as green land

I am concerned that the site identified does not have sufficient access to support the potential future development of the land for housing. Ffordd Triban is a narrow cul -de-sac off Cherry Tree Lane. Both roads already have a number of parked vehicles which restrict potential access. Any potential increase in the resident population will make access for emergency vehicles, council recycling vehicles and existing residents more challenging.
The development of the land will destroy the habitat for bats ( a protected species) foxes,badgers and other wildlife. Alternate suitable brownfield and infill sites should be developed instead.
I request that site (5) is removed from the RDLP. Consideration for development of land should be focused on brownfield and infill sites.

Site has been turned down previously.
Site suffers from a lack of amenity, public transport service, increasing reliance on motor vehicles.
The site is green farm land, home to a wide variety of different species. Residential targets should be achieved through the more efficient use of high street vacant uppers and brown land, building higher, not destroying green spaces.
Poor access through a residential road sub 5.0 metres wide, with two blind bends, resident and visitors cars parked on pavements narrowing the road further, relevant in light of campaign / proposals by government to make it illegal to pavement park.
I am requesting that this site (Land at Pen Y Waen Farm - Number 5) is removed from the RDLP. The inclusion of this site would be lazy on the part of the local authority. There are numerous alternative sites with better and safer access that should be considered. The protection of green land should be a local authority priority and more imaginative consideration given to the redevelopment of brownfield land and better building design to achieve higher densities through building higher in urban locations where there is better public amenity and access provision. Protecting green land in our beautiful local area should be of paramount importance to the local authority.
