It is noted that there is provision for 8.8 hectares of mixed use land at Abergele and that 4.7 hectares have been reserved for employment use. Denbighshire County Council welcomes early consultation on this site once an indication of development is received.

Consultation with Denbighshire County Council is appropriate, particularly in terms
of the Eastern Regeneration and Improvement Area and neighbouring strategic
employment sites given that there is potential impact on any proposed sites in
Denbighshire's new Local Development Plan 2018 to 2033.

The strategy states that consideration will be given to protecting and improving caravan park accommodation at Pensarn, Towyn and Kinmel Bay to maintain bed stock levels and assist the local economy. It is debatable how much self-catering short term tourist accommodation actually contributes to the local economy and there should be an emphasis on high quality design with protection and enhancement of the natural landscape and environment.

Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) strategy supports utilising Colcaenog Forest for wind energy and the Colwyn Bay Tidal Lagoon which it believes will assist in terms of reducing flood risk, increasing tourism, improving the labour market and delivering renewable energy. Early consultation with Denbighshire County Council is welcomed in terms of energy development so that both councils' strategies align and take account of the draft Welsh National Marine Plan and the draft National Development Framework.

Offshore Energy, Paragraph 6.7.30 refers to the Localism Act 2011 which is misleading given that in terms of planning it only applies in England. Development Consent Orders apply only in England. Marine licences in Wales are granted by Natural Resources Wales. Consideration should be given to removing this paragraph or rewording it particularly given that Welsh Ministers now have devolved powers in terms of energy generation of 350 MW or less in Wales and in Welsh waters.

Accepted. Text will be amended to clarify.

Paragraph 6.7.31 is clearly a decision for Welsh Ministers and we would question the appropriateness of referring to the tidal lagoon as Colwyn Bay Tidal Lagoon when it is likely to extend beyond Colwyn Bay, and into Denbighshire County Council (DCC). Perhaps the term "North Wales Tidal Lagoon" might be more appropriate. Given that there are no proposals for a North Wales Tidal Lagoon, we think it is premature to include it in an LDP which should be based on deliverability over the lifetime of the plan.
