L&G is supportive Strategic Objective 3.

The Preferred Strategy recognises that leisure, entertainment and food and drink uses can benefit retail and commercial centres, whilst careful regard must be paid to safeguarding amenity when contributing towards an evening economy.

The contribution of Llandudno Junction Leisure Park also includes a variety of jobs, including part time jobs suited to local young people or those seeking to work flexibly.

These attributes mean that Llandudno Junction Leisure Park should remain a focus for future leisure and entertainment development and intensification.

Concentrated growth needs to be focused in the most sustainable locations. Whilst the Creuddyn Strategy Area will account for 30 per cent of housing growth and 30 per cent of job growth, there should be a recognition that the increasing population and economic growth should be supported by a diversity of leisure and tourism uses.

Llandudno Junction Leisure Park has capacity to diversify and to intensify its mix of uses, and there should be an acknowledgement of this in the RLDP.

L&G supports the preferred strategy to focus development within the Coastal Development Strategy Area and on the most sustainable urban settlements - including Llandudno Junction.

Llandudno Junction is recognised as a key economic hub, with excellent transport links and the opportunity to safeguard and enhance the existing employment offer.

Llandudno Junction should remain unchanged in its current position within the retail hierarchy as a Town Centre.

Flexibility to enable centres to respond to changing occupier and customer demands, particularly during a period of rapid structural change, is vital.

L&G supports the objective of Strategic Policy 16: Retail, which will safeguard the leisure function of Llandudno Junction Leisure Park.

Page 105 of the RLDP Preferred Strategy states that proposals at Llandudno Junction Leisure Park will be subject to a criteria based policy to protect its leisure function. The definition of 'leisure' in such a policy should be broad, in order to enable flexibility in securing tenants and improve the offer at the Leisure Park.
