This proposal will destroy our community. No amount of tinkering with an extra doctor at a satellite surgery or an extension to a school will solve the impact of such a large development. The idea of a road link via Highlands Rd will exacerbate our ever increasing traffic problems. Rural areas are important and need to be protected

Representation Summary:

The increase to traffic from the development of this proposal will have a negative impact on Old Colwyn. The village will struggle with the increase in traffic. Especially at the junctions of Peulwys Lane and Llanelian Rd, the roundabout on Abergele Rd, Highlands Rd and Abergele Rd. Traffic will try to go down Coed Coch rd, or onto Peulwys Lane, Peulwys Ave and Peulwys Rd bearing in mind Peulwys Avenue is a private Rd.
Putting in an extra doctor at a satellite surgery or an extension to local schools will not solve the impact of such a large development.

Received: 07/09/2019

Respondent: Mrs H Foster

Representation Summary:

The infrastructure of the local area is falling far short of what would be required to accommodate the additional residents created by the new development.

It's a well known fact amongst local residents that the local GP surgery is already massively oversubscribed due the recent closure of another surgery in the village. Adding to that the fact that the local High School is also oversubscribed and has been for a number of years.

The transport links (roads/buses etc) are also somewhat of a nightmare at peak times and especially when the A55 traffic is affected for any number of reasons.

Change suggested by respondent:

Whilst I appreciate the need for further housing and am not against the principle of building locally,I feel that the size of the project would have a hugely detrimental effect on our local community and the efficiency in which it operates.

I wish to oppose the plan as I do not feel that there will be capacity in the local schools for more people or in cadwgan surgery with up to,a three week wait already for appointments. The building traffic will increase particularly on llanelian road and parking in the area will be even more difficult. I also worry that the houses may not only be for first time buyers. There is limited funding available and these problems will not be resolved. The same land is believed to,have been rejected previously. It won't benefit old colwyn

Representation Summary:

The proposed development would:
*Increase the risk of radon exposure by excavating the soil to build*
*Impose upon already existing large communities.
*Overstretch GP surgery and schools.
*Create undue stress for medical staff and teachers.
*Create longer waits for appointments/treatment, and reduce quality education by increasing teacher/student ratio.
*Increase congestion and heavy traffic along already overused surrounding roads.
*Increase safety risk at Llanellian Road/Peulwys Lane T-junction.
*Create increased traffic at Marine roundabout, raising safety concerns generally, considering the amount of incidents/collisions occurred over recent years.
*Additionally, school-children cross these roads 5-days a week, often not paying due care or attention.

Change suggested by respondent:

The plan to build in this area does not appear to be well considered at all. I am objecting to the proposed development based on the above points. I cannot think of a single positive reason to build such a large amount of houses, which would look out of character, in this area.

There is insufficient parking at Colwyn Bay football ground and during home games football supporters park on both sides of the road reducing this to a single line of traffic.

Place a burden on services, schools are facing funding cuts and Betsi Cadwaladr is struggling to recruit GPs to area.

Representation Summary:

The proposed development would:
1.Increase surrounding road usage, increasing maintenance costs and decreasing road safety for drivers and pedestrians.
2.Create noise and air pollution, and radon exposure, during building and following construction with increased residents/road users.
3.Building would extend into open countryside **planning previously rejected for this reason.**
4.Lead to loss of privacy and light for existing properties.
5.Negatively impact upon existing residents' psychological wellbeing.
6.Reduce employment opportunities by introducing 450 more people/families into village setting.
7.Deeply harm environment character**planning previously rejected for this reason** and negatively impact upon wildlife. Loss of biodiversity.
8.Lead to serious mains sewerage/water supply/drainage issues.

Change suggested by respondent:

I STRONGLY OBJECT to the proposed development plan. This area has been previously rejected for planning, as Conwy Local Development Plan; Deposit Plan 2007-2022 details. Previous reasons for rejection states "The development would extend into open countryside and would be harmful to the appearance of this landscape. The demand for housing can be met by other proposed sites in more sustainable locations". These reasons remain valid and applicable, in addition to the reasons I have highlighted above. Furthermore, the area adjacent to Peulwys Estate has already been granted permission to build a significant number of additional Cartrefi Conwy houses, therefore this should be considered more than enough sustainable development for such a small area.

Received: 18/09/2019

Respondent: Mr Kevin Phillips

Representation Summary:

The proposed site is unsuitable for such a widespread development for several reasons revolving around the infrastructure of the area. Our main objection is the negative effect on transport, especially during rush hour. We fear Old Colwyn will become grid locked at key times of the day. We are also worried about drainage problems which have not been addressed on the promenade and will worsen with the new development above. Finally we worry that new schools and surgeries will struggle to attract suitable and properly qualified staff.

Change suggested by respondent:

Choose not to use this location.

Full text:

We were shocked to hear of the possible new housing development in the fields above Gwynant, Old Colwyn. Initial emotions centred on sadness at the loss of such a large area of beautiful open farmland much appreciated by current residents. This was followed by questioning of the rationality of the proposal. Many services in Old Colwyn are already under severe pressure. Adding several hundred new properties would push many of these beyond breaking point. We acknowledge that planners have built in the need for a new school and doctors surgery but they have not addressed the difficulties that would result in staffing these facilities. In particular there is already a major problem finding GPs who are prepared to relocate to North Wales.Drainage is another significant issue. In recent years we have seen sewage and drainage structures unable to cope along the Old Colwyn promenade. Both Network Rail and Welsh Water, terrified of the cost implications, have tried to deflect responsibility to each other. Adding several acres of concrete and tarmac above this area is surely likely to have disastrous consequences for the crumbling system. Our final and most important objection is the effect on our road network. At busy times the roads in the area are congested to a point close to gridlock. The possibility of adding over a thousand new vehicles to this network will surely bring key hubs such as Marine Roundabout to a grinding halt.
We hope the planners responsible for the coming decisions will take on board the genuine concerns of local residents and realise that this proposal would be a disaster for our area.

The infrastructure isn't in place to support extra housing. Roads are congested already, through Old Colwyn & Llysfaen & Llanelian rd. Doctor isn't able to cope with local residents needs now, no dentist locally. Swn y Don "unsatisfactory" at Estyn inspection & other schools under budget pressure & experiencing staffing cuts, not a good educational environment for children.

Representation Summary:

Developing this land will have a detrimental effect on the infrastructure in place in Old Colwyn. It will put a significant strain on already stretched services and amenities. Schools are already at or near maximum subscription with no funding or space to expand or budget to employ additional teaching staff; the surgery in the area, is already under extreme pressure and any additional health facilities would not meet current demand let alone increased demands from additional households; the current road system will not sustain increased traffic follow. Development here will also be harmful to the environment character to the area.

Change suggested by respondent:

This proposal should be rejected from the LDP.
