Housing land allocations should be reviewed and new deliverable sites allocated
through a call for candidate sites. In addition, windfall site and allocations within and adjacent to in Tier 1 villages should not be capped in size as this limits the ability of the market to deliver housing where there is a demand and which otherwise would be consistent with the thrust of the LDP.

Noted. Amendments to policies will be considered as part of the LDP Review process.

Revised policy wording should consider allowing flexibility to allow market driven unallocated windfall employment sites to come forward outside Urban Development Strategy Areas (UDSA) and Rural Development Strategy Areas (RDSA) where they will address a specific need and comply with the thrust of other policies in the LDP.

Noted.

List of employment sites should be reviewed to include brownfield land and waste sites which have the necessary infrastructure to support employment uses. Policy MWS/7 supports the use of industrial land for waste management facilities due to the compatible nature of built waste facilities and it is suggested that Policies EMP/3,4 and 5 should contain reciprocal wording to allow waste sites to be developed for employment uses provided that this would not result in a shortfall in the required number of waste management facilities.

Noted. All undeveloped allocations will be reviewed and where appropriate considered for other uses as part of the LDP review process.

Policy TOU/2 limits new tourism and recreational development to UDSA and RDSA. Review should be more comprehensive to give a greater degree of flexibility to deliver appropriate tourism and recreation developments outside of these areas.

Accepted - Policy TOU/2 will be reviewed, however, there are no areas 'outside' the UDSA and RDSA's

We support a review of policy TOU/3 and it should be revised to promote new sustainable holiday accommodation outside the Holiday Accommodation Zones in Llandudno. This would widen the tourism offer within Conwy and promote the wider distribution of tourism income across the County.

Noted - TOU/3 will be reviewed but appropriate and sustainable holiday accommodation outside the HAZ is presently supported under Tourism policies and National Planning Guidance.

Whilst policy MWS/3 for safeguarding mineral reserves remains relevant the areas shown on the Proposals Map need to be comprehensively reviewed to ensure internal consistency with Policy MWS/4 and MTAN 1 in terms of buffer zones. For example, a number of areas within and adjacent to Llanddulas Quarry could not be quarried due to residential property within the 200m and 100m buffers for hard rock and sand and gravel respectively, promoted in MTAN 1and MWS/4. As such these and similar areas should be removed from the safeguarded minerals areas so as not to preclude alternative developments at these locations.

Not accepted. The purpose of the safeguarding policy is to ensure that the presence of mineral is given adequate consideration when proposals for non-mineral development are submitted within and in close proximity to areas underlain by mineral. Policy MWS/3 includes a number of tests against which proposals for non-mineral development will be assessed and which could enable development to come forwards. Notwithstanding this, any changes to development boundaries proposed as part of the LDP Review will be considered and where necessary the safeguarding areas amended to reflect such changes.
