Overarching Strategic Approach
Representation ID: 27796
Received: 16/09/2019
Respondent: Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales
If the document is to generate interest from the general public it is unlikely to have done so due to its excessive and unnecessary length, particularly Section 2, the Overarching Strategic Approach. Not only is the content of this very "dry" but there is also much duplication.
See attached document.
Not Accepted: The Preferred Strategy is supported by a summary version and video to assist the public.

2.14 National Context
Representation ID: 27797
Received: 16/09/2019
Respondent: Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales
The document has been prepared in advance of the recent production of the Welsh Governments draft National Development Framework. The latter document indicates that individual LDPs must be produced in accordance with both the NDF and the appropriate Regional Strategy. Whilst the Conwy Preferred Strategy would appear to comply with current WAG policy guidance, In light of the Regional Strategy implications of the NDF, the content of Conwy's document and the future programming of the production of the Replacement LDP must be in doubt.
See attached document.
Noted: The RLDP will be safe-checked against the draft NDF proposals prior to consultation on the Deposit RLDP. CCBC have also responded formally to the NDF consultation setting out areas of RLDP compliance.

Sustainable Placemaking in Conwy
Representation ID: 27798
Received: 16/09/2019
Respondent: Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales
The content of the meat of the document ie. Sections 3-6 is soundly argued and indicates an appropriately sensible approach for the production of the future draft Plan.
Whilst the loss of open farmland is to be regretted, in view of the low level of available brownfield sites it has to be accepted that meeting the housing requirement can only be met through the use of areas of previously undeveloped land.

Strategic Policy SP/11: Strategic Sites
Representation ID: 27799
Received: 16/09/2019
Respondent: Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales
The approach of identifying key large strategic sites makes sense in that they can then planned in a more comprehensive way to accommodate the wider requirements of the local community.

Strategic Policy SP/11: Strategic Sites
Representation ID: 27800
Received: 16/09/2019
Respondent: Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales
The choice of the several specific Strategic Sites appears to be appropriate although there is concern as to whether full account has been taken of the impact of the developments on the wider highway network, such as the impact of the Old Colwyn site on Llanelian Road and the Marine roundabout.
See attached document.

The approach to the provision of housing in the rural areas is supported, particularly the provision of affordable housing for local people for which there is considerable need.

Whilst the strategy approach to the provision of affordable housing generally is supported it is critical that it is firmly implemented aat the planning application stage such that developers are not able to negotiate a reduced percentage of affordable houses in their developments to the extent that has been the case in the past.

Representation ID: 27808
Received: 16/09/2019
Respondent: Campaign for the Protection of Rural Wales
In light of the National Development Framework intention for windfarm applications above 10MGW to be determined by the Welsh Government the Conwy policy will need to be changed. However it is considered that the reduction of the power of the Local Planning Authority to determine applications between 10 and 25 MGW is a reduction in local democracy and should be opposed.
