LDP - Deposit Plan 

INTRODUCTION 

1.2 

Rep No Name 

600 Mr John Blakesley [870] 

1 Object 

Summary Even allowing for the continuation in the growth of smaller households, the projected number of new housing units set for the Plan period seems too high in 

relation to the projected increase in the local population, i.e. 6,300 extra housing units for an extra 7,250 people! 

Change Sought: Amend calculation of projected housing units or provide a reasoned justification for the figure included in the Deposit Draft 

1432 Leith Planning Ltd (Mr Chris Plenderleith) [1791] 

1 Object 

Summary Given the population increases discussed and the accepted increase in single person households it would appear to be unreasonable for the local authority to 

set a housing target figure at the lower end of assessed private housing need. Whilst it is accepted that there needs to be an element of restraint and a desire 

to protect the Welsh language and the natural environment, this needs to be balanced against the current and future needs of communities and the impacts a 

restricted housing supply can have on affordability and retaining the younger generations in the county. Restricting housing numbers will not reduce demand, 

and will only result in inflationary house prices. 

Change Sought: It would appear more appropriate to set a housing target within the central range of the private market land requirements to balance the needs to protect the 

Welsh language, the natural environment and to meet the needs of a growing population. A housing figure in the order of 8,000 units is more likely to better 

balance the above issues and to assist in the creation of future sustainable communities.

Summary 1.1 states that the average age of residents in the Borough will increase. It would therefore seem appropriate for 1.3, which discusses methods to 

encourage the existing and future younger population to remain the area to include a requirement to make provision for appropriate health care for the needs 

of the population. 

Change Sought: Include a requirement to make provision for appropriate health care for the needs of the population.

Summary Para 1.9. The proposal to concentrate development within the urban coastal belt locations, particularly, within Llandudno, Llandudno Junction, Colwyn Bay, 

Abergele, Towyn and Kinmel Bay communities is supported. 



1021 Mr Huw M Owen [1058]

Summary The community as a whole has not been given a clear opportunity to respond to this proposal due to lack of publicity. The presentation should be clearly 

defined in lay mans terms so that all interest parties can successfully analyse the contents. (Soundness test P1) 

Change Sought: The Plan should be prepared in line with the Community Involvement Scheme 

763 Mr Neil Coleclough [966] 

Summary I do not believe that the plan has been constructed in a way that is easy for a layman to understand and therefore fails to meet test P1. 

1 

Support 

I had no knowledge of the proposed change of use to Plot 335, prior to being advised by my neighbours. A key element of the LDP process is inclusion of the 

community in the consultation process. As I live in the proximity of Plot 335, again it would seem that Test P1 has failed. 

In my opinion the Council website is very difficult to use. Again this would seem to fail Test 1. 

Change Sought: Plan should be prepared in accordance with the Delivery Agreement and Community Involvement Scheme

Summary We broadly support the above approach however, we are concerned that the plan as drafted is flawed in the way in which policies and allocations flow from 

the above preferred strategy. We are concerned with the methodology employed in producing background papers numbers 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13, 14 and 17. 

Change Sought: We broadly support the above approach however, we are concerned that the plan as drafted is flawed in the way in which policies and allocations flow from 

the above preferred strategy.

1.31 The Key Issues in Conwy 

Rep No Name 

People Type 

81 Mr Paul Luckock [146] 

1 Object 

Summary A major issue in Conwy is the development of appropriate Children and Young People's sevices.There needs to be a rationalisation of our schools provision 

to ensure surplus capacity and small schools are withdrawn and high quality facilties are provided on accessible sites. There is a very significant lack of 

affordable youth,recreation,leisure,cultural and sports facilities for children and young people. Children and young people should be consulted and asked to 

help design the facilities they require locally. 

Change Sought: In the town of Abergele where I live, I want children and young people to be fully consulted. 

I want unsustainable small schools and surplus capacity removed urgently and the resources re-invested in childrens services including schools. 


1 Object 

Summary There is reference made in the Deposit LDP Plan to various planning and policy groups and in the Housing Strategy to the Housing Strategy Forum, 

Stakeholder events and the Rural Housing Enabler Project etc. It is not clear to what extent important community stakeholder groups have been represented 

or consulted in each of these planning groups/Forums e.g. older people, disabled people etc. 

Change Sought: To introduce into all CCBC policy and planning processes, a mechanism for triggering the involvement of key community stakeholder groups or individuals 

when setting up Forums, stakeholder events or developing policies, plans, projects and assessments. This trigger should occur at the beginning of the policy 

and planning process and should include a process for identifying the potential negative impact that a proposed project or plan might have on them. 

Community stakeholders would include e.g. representatives from older people's groups, the Older People's Champion (Cllr Tony Tobin), the Older People's 

Strategy Development Officer or Age Concern, in addition to other key stakeholder representatives. The Corporate Equalities Officer could also be included, 

to ensure good representation.

Summary Recommendation to incorporate reference to statistic contained in the attached document into the LDP, in particular BP/2. 

Change Sought: To incorporate reference to the statistics into the Deposit LDP (Key Issues for Conwy or Background Paper 2 - Population and Household Projections) and in 

the Local Housing Strategy for Conwy, as they have a significant bearing on future housing needs in Conwy. In particular, issues relating to lack of mobility 

and ill-health will increasingly influence the type and location of accommodation needed by a significant proportion of the local population.

Summary Our clients support the priority issues set out within the LDP. In particular: 

The need to use land efficiently and utilise previously developed land. 

The need for more housing development especially affordable housing. 

The need to accommodate the demand for high quality employmenet land within use classes B1, B2 and B8. 

The need to maintain and enhance retail provision over the county. 

The need to encourage and support the tourism sector. 

Change Sought: The council should ain to bring forward sites that are available and deliverable within the plan period, such as the former aluminium factory site under the 

control of our client. 


1 Object 

Summary The Deposit LDP states that CCBC will "Insist on a high standard of new building design which improves efficiency....." however it stops short of 

recommending or directing that houses are built to the "Lifetime Homes" standards, as specified in the English Strategy: Lifetime Homes, Lifetime 

Neighborhoods: A National Strategy for Housing in an Ageing Society (Feb 08) 

Change Sought: That CCBC endorses and promotes the Lifetime Homes Standard and incorporates this into the relevant Strategy documents (whether the Deposit LDP or 

Housing Strategy for Conwy). Development contracts could be awarded according to the degree to which they meet the Lifetime Homes and Lifetime 

Neighbourhood Standards (see below).

Summary Local authority proposals for the LDP should have been full page spreads placed in the Local Newspapers, along with relevant plans. The website is virtually 

impenetrable and gives every impression of having been specifically designed to obfuscate and confuse. The venues and opportunities to view the proposals 

in hard copy have been few, badly advertised and set during the working week/hours rendering it all the harder for anyone in work to get an opportunity to 

attend. The period given for public consultation has been pitifully short, given the time and resource the Local Authority has had to develop the plan. 

Change Sought: The Plan should be prepared in line with the Community Involvement Scheme and consultation events 

897 Environment Agency Wales (Mrs Deborah Hemsworth) [1036] 

1 Object 

Summary Within Table 1(Key issues impacting on the Plan Area) on page 20, one of the Priority Issues facing Conwy has been identified as that of climate change. 

Conwy is particularly vulnerable due to the large expanse of coast and the low-lying nature of a substantial portion of the land. Within Table 1, this has only 

been linked to the need for more efficient use of natural resources. Reference should also be made to avoiding development within flood risk areas wherever 

possible. 

Change Sought: Reference should be made to avoiding development within flood risk areas wherever possible.

Summary Whilst in the introduction of the document the Council acknowledge that the population of Conwy is ageing, they have failed to identify the issue within the 

priority issues. This should clearly be addressed.

Rep No Name

1 Object 

Summary The Older People's Task & Finish Group on influencing and developing an age friendly built environment (from the Strategy for Older People in Wales 

2008-13) found that there was insufficient information in the LDP on the significant demographic changes taking place in Wales and the implications of an 

ageing society for future housing development and community facilities. A paper listing significant statistics and their implications has been submitted via 

email. 

Change Sought: More detailed statistics on the major demographic changes in Wales and Conwy in particular should be included in the LDP or relevant background 

documents and issues relating to the design of future housing and community facilities (with regaards to an ageing society) should be incorporated (e.g. 

Lifetime homes, Lifetime Neighbourhoods).

Summary Ainscough Johnson support the 12 commitments to the communities. The proposed redevelopment of the former aluminium factory in Dolgarrog can have a 

key role to play in re-establishing a vibrant community within the village and to bring forward a development that will not only enhance the immediate 

commuity within Dolgarrog, but also the communities within this part of Conwy.

Summary The first paragraph of the Vision should be reworded, generally, as follows:- 

Change Sought: 

"By 2022, the communities of Conwy will be more sustainable and offer a higher quality of life. The housing needs of the area will be better met, with greater 

access to affordable housing. The area will be more prosperous, with greater access to high quality, better paid jobs, particularly in high value service 

industries. Out-commuting will be reduced. The urban coastal belt areas, particularly Llandudno, Llandudno Junction, Conwy and Colwyn Bay will become the 

economic, social and cultural focus of the Plan Area. The natural and built environment will be protected and enhanced, and development will be 

concentrated in the most accessible and sustainable locations. The special character of the rural areas as places to live and work will be fostered." 

Reword the vision.

Summary Inadequate provision for housing fails to deliver on Spatial Objective 3 (to provide land to enable an adequate and diverse supply of housing to contribute to 

needs... at a scale that is consistent with the ability of different areas and communities to grow'. The absence of allocation in Penmaenmawr close to the town 

centre fails to deliver on policies/objectives DP/1, SO1, SO7 and SO9.

Summary Strategic Objective 12 is confusingly worded as it isolates biodiversity and species from the landscape in which it/they are found. It also fails to recognise the 

need for greater dynamcis in the landscape to provide for resilience in the face of climate change

Summary Whilst we agree with the principle of the vision in terms of promoting mixed uses, locating development in urban areas and on sustainable sites, the details of 

the vision are considered insufficient to meet the growing needs of the County. 

Change Sought: As stated previously further consideration needs to be given to the housing provision proposed and whether sufficient consideration has been given to the 

wider needs of Conwy's communities, and in particular the impact of an ageing population. The vision should be redrafted to take account of this need.

Summary In the analysis of the priority issues the plan talks of safeguarding rather than exploiting the potential of the area to overcome the seasonality issue within the 

industry. This is a recurring theme and becomes entrenched in SO8, which if it were to be aligned with the objectives of the Corporate Plan and support the 

industry would be written in terms of developing, strengthening and encouraging rather than protection and enhancement. This will not support a top class 

product for 2022.

development objectives. 

Spatial Objective SO1 should be reworded as follows:- 

"ensure the needs of the community are met, whilst at the same time protect the natural and built environment, by promoting adequate and appropriate levels 

of development, locating development where practicable on previously developed land and primarily in the larger urban coastal settlements and along existing 

and proposed infrastructure networks, identifying and protecting key environmental assets, and ensuring an efficient density of development compatible with 

local amenity."

Summary The Wales Spatial Plan (2008) makes clear (16.2) that in North-East Wales planning policies should seek to strengthen the settlements forming the identified 

key hubs as "a focus for investment in future employment, housing, retail, leisure and services". 

In line with our representations on Policies EMP/1 and EMP/2, the level of employment land provision should be increased in the County as a whole, and 

greater emphasis should be given to the role of Llandudno Junction. 

Kinmel Bay is part of the Rhyl/St Asaph/Prestatyn Strategic Hub and is an appropriate location for development. However, it must be recognised that the town 

is peripheral to the main centres of population within Conwy and is not highly accessible by public transport. It needs also to be recognised that employment 

development around Kinmel Bay is more likely to meet the needs of Denbighshire than most of Conwy, and that sites in this area will compete directly with 

existing and proposed employment sites in Denbighshire, including South-East Rhyl and St Asaph. Consequently, the proposed employment development in 

Kinmel Bay should be complementary to that being provided in the rest of the Rhyl/St Asaph/Prestatyn strategic hub, and not compete with it. The total should 

also not make up a disproportionate amount of the County's total employment land resource. 

Change Sought: Section 3 does not make this distinction and, as such, is not in accordance with the Spatial Plan. It also does not provide a clear framework for the policies 

which follow. The policy should be amended to do so.

development goes against the spirit of this Plan. 

Change Sought: Designate the Caravan Park and part of the "Donkey Field" for development - with the main part of the "Donkey Field" for allotments. Further housing 

development could be on the field boardering Llanrhos Road ( currently used for grazing for horses) which is a self-contained plot of land. This way the

Summary It is noted that Conwy Council has accepted the importance and benefits to be achieved in terms of sustainable development through the provisions of mixed 

use developments. The site at Esgyryn will assist in meeting this objective as well as securing an energy efficient renewably sourced development which can 

act as a bench mark for future high quality development. 

Change Sought: The proposed number of residential units on site should be increased to better reflect the contents of the indicative masterplan drawn up by Pod as this will 

take account of the provision of affordable housing for the over 55's, open space provision and the development costs of sustainable design. The split 

proposed by Pod is more viable and sustainable than that outlined by the Council.

Summary The promotion of Llandudno as a major retail centre is likely to have a detrimental effect on the viability of local shops in other towns and villages, to lead to

Summary Whilst it is noted that the focus for Llandudno Junction relates to employment and economic growth this needs to be balanced with the provision of homes to 

facilitate the retention of employees, businesses and disposable incomes within the local area. 

Change Sought: The increased provision of housing within Llandudno Junction can further assist in the promotion of sustainability and reduce the concerns on commuting 

impacts on pollution and congestion. This principle is the basis of the proposed mixed use development at Esgyryn as outlined on the indicative masterplan 

produced by Pod. The aspiration is to create a development which facilities and promotes live, work and play in the Junction and a reduction in the need to 

travel. The reduced housing provision of 90 units as proposed in the Deposit Plan will not sufficiently meet this need.

Summary The Local Development Plan is unsound regarding the settlement hierarchy approach. Penrhyn Bay and Penrhynside are defined as urban areas. 

Penrhynside is a village of around 350 people and has clearly defined borders - it should be classed as a minor village. In addition Penrhyn Bay has less loca 

amenities that such main villages as Glan Conwy and no higher population. Penrhyn Bay should therefore be defined as a main village.

Summary I disagree with the direction that the Local Authority is taking in this paragraph. I believe that the local area is indeed in need of housing and this should be 

developed on one of the many Brownfield sites that exist on the grounds of old factories and industrial estates. Furthermore, the authority is under an 

obligation to protect the fragile ecosystems that exist on the proposed sites and should prevent their development. In addition to this, the safety of the public 

could be jeopardised though increased use of narrow roads regularly used by school children on their way home. 

Change Sought: I believe that development should only take place in those brownfield areas whose infrastructure can support further development.

The impact of housing allocations in neighbouring local authority areas has not been considered.

Summary The written statement (text) 'Conwy Deposit Local Development Plan 2007-2022', makes reference to the contribution of planning to providing a healthy

environments and instead encourage sustainable communities, with multiple benefits for climate change, health and wellbeing, and health inequalities. See 

attachment for full response. 

Change Sought: The LPHT would be willing to explore opportunities to support the LDP process, particularly to develop a common understanding of health amongst planners, 

and to explore the stages of the planning cycle which have the potential to maximise health benefit. There are numerous 'healthy urban toolkits' available to 

support this process and I understand that the Wales Centre for Health are working jointly with the Welsh Assembly Government to develop a toolkit for 

Wales

Summary The Plan indicates that urban areas will be the key in provision of a combination of market and Affordable Housing for Local Need (AHLN) on both allocated 

sites and windfall sites. The Plan allocations fails to make provision for this policy in Penmaenmawr where no site is allocated. See point 4 in the attachment 

for further information. 

Change Sought: Allocate a residential site in Penmaenmawr. Land lying between Cwm Road, Graigllwyd Road and Merton Park is suggested. See schedule 2 of the 

attachment for further information.

Summary The Local Development Plan is unsound regarding the settlement hierarchy approach. Penrhyn Bay and Penrhynside are defined as urban areas. 

Penrhynside is a village of around 350 people and has clearly defined borders - it should be classed as a minor village. In addition Penrhyn Bay has less loca 

amenities that such main villages as Glan Conwy and no higher population. Penrhyn Bay should therefore be defined as a main village.

Summary In view of the previous difficulties in identifying land in the rural area for employment uses, if there are no allocations made ibn the LDP then 20% (16ha) of 

employment land is considered extremely over-optimistic and should be re-considered 

Change Sought: The Plan should therefore be amended, either by deleting this overoptimistic and unsubstantiated proposal, or preferably, by allocating an appropriate amoun 

of land in the rural areas suitable for B1, B2 and B8 uses.

your policy states that development in urban areas on PDL will be considered in preference to Greenfield sites.

Summary We suggest the following change to the first part of the policy:- 

"Main Towns 

Llandudno, Llandudno Junction, Colwyn Bay, Conwy, Deganwy/Llanrhos, Towyn/Kinmel Bay. 

People Type 

These are the main urban settlements within the County and are designated as key hubs by the Wales Spatial Plan. The towns of Llandudno, Llandudno 

Junction, Conwy, Deganwy/Llanrhos and Colwyn Bay will be the main focus for investment in future employment, hotel, retail, leisure and services. 

Additionally the settlements of Towyn/Kinmel Bay form part of a larger key hub with the towns of Rhyl, Prestatyn and St Asaph in Denbighshire. Development 

in Towyn/Kinmel will need to be compatible with the size of these settlements and complementary to that which is proposed for the rest of the hub. Over the 

Plan period, the great majority of the housing and employment development within the County will be located within and around the above towns. 

Other Urban Areas 

Abergele/Pensarn, LLanfairfechan, Llanrwst, Mochdre, Penmaenmawr, Penrhyn Bay, Penrhynside 

These are mainly smaller freestanding towns. The towns in the more rural areas act as service centres for large and thinly populated areas. Also settlements 

like Penmaenmawr have urgent regeneration needs. The intention is to build strong sustainable communities in these settlements, providing locally 

accessible jobs, services and housing."

Summary It was decided that Snowdonia National Park Authority should allocate land for affordable housing in Trefriw to meet local needs. It was agreed that Conwy 

Planning Authority should allocate land for affordable housing on the Aluminium Works site in Dolgarrog because of the environmental constraints and to 

avoid linear developments in the National Park (see the appendix) 

Change Sought: The reference to Tal y Bont in policy DP/2 should be deleted because the settlement is outside the National Park's boundaries. Tal y Bont has not been 

recognised as a settlement in Snowdonia Local Plan nor the Snowdonia Local Development Plan because the settlement is outside the National Park's 

boundaries. As a result, the reference to Dolgarrog and Tal y Bont in the following sentence should be deleted: 

"because of development constraints in Dolgarrog, Tal-y-bont and Trefriw, development will be restricted and will be promoted by developing within 

Snowdonia National Park". (see the appendix)

Summary Re soundness test CE1 the LDP has not listed my dwelling place of RHYDGALED 


a recognised settlement as a hamlet, although it is a signposted cluster settlement, with a County Primary School Ysgol Rhydgaled at its centre, but is 

considered to be open countryside. This is relevant to Policy DP2 

That the settlement of Rhydgaled be recognised as such and listed as a hamlet in the LDP.

Summary Only 22% of housing land supply is made up of new, identifiable site allocations. In case windfall and committed sites do not come forward more land made 

up of proposed allocations should be made. This is because there does not appear to be much scope for being Greenfield sites in accordance with DP2 2b 

as appropriate in the light of monitoring.

Summary Redrow object to Policy DP/2 - Overarching Strategic Approach for the following reasons:- 

1.The Policy seeks to direct 10% of housing growth and 20% of employment growth (B1, B2 and B8) to the Main Villages, Minor Villages and Hamlets. This 

is an unbalanced distribution and will contribute to unsustainable patterns of car borne commuting. 

Change Sought: New employment sites outside of the Urban Areas should be at a scale which is consistent with the size of the settlement and not exceed 10% of the overall 

level of growth.

Summary BWEA also welcomes the Council's promotion of renewable energy development in seeking to reduce energy consumption. however in light of the distinct 

nature of national planning policy requirements for renewable energy generation and residential and non residential design and energy use, and their 

associated targets, BWEA recommend that SO11 be split into two distinct spatial objectives. BWEA would have serious concerns if the LDP continued

Summary We would expect developers to promote high quality, sustainable design for all development, in particular, the use of water conservation & efficiency 

measures and utilise sustainable drainage techniques into the development design. 


Summary DP/3/1 - Support 

To comply with TAN 12 Design 2009 and avoid failing the test of soundness, it needs to be clear that criterion '1c' "have regard to the impact on adjacent 

properties, areas and habitats supporting protected species" includes statutorily designated sites and landscape.

Summary You state the aim to provide sustainable urban drainage, to limit waste water, water pollution and flood risk. The land drains of the farm land east of Derwen 

Lane slope down towards the housing and school sites on Derwen Lane/Gloddaeth View. Land drains also run down the borders of the Ysgol y Creuddyn 

fields. After heavy rain, the road by the schools floods.If the fields are built on, there will be less surface area for rain to soak away, as the density and type of 

housing planned will not have large green areas. Frequency of flooding will therefore increase. 

Change Sought: Remove farm land at Gloddaeth Isaf from the development plan other than as Green Wedge. 


Summary Redrow object to Policy DP/3 - Promoting Design Quality and Reducing Crime for the following reason:- 

1.The requirement to contribute an agreed percentage of the total development costs for the provision and commissioning of publicly accessible art or design 

improvement works is vague, unjustified and potentially extremely onerous. When combined with other national and local demands on land value (e.g. CIL, 

lifetime homes, affordable housing and other community benefits), it could seriously threaten the commercial viability of much need development. There is a 

distinct danger of too many requirements being imposed upon developers in the LDP. 

Change Sought: Given the need to ensure sufficient new housing/employment is delivered, it would only be reasonable to retain paragraph 4 of Policy DP/3 in a form which 

offers general encouragement to the provision of publicly assessable art or design improvement works. 


1 Object 

Summary Design and access statements are now mandatory and they are set out in TAN 12, unless there is sound local justification for a distinctive policy they should 

not be set out in the LDP.

Summary LDP should move away from reliance on engineering solutions to flooding. TAN 15 should shape policy. BP 17 refers to NPP- the conclusions are currently 

concerning due to revision of Conwy Tidal FRA and EA Strategic Review is still awaited. Flood risk issues may need to be considered further in respect of 

employment/housing expansion at Towyn/Kinmel Bay. These allocations introduce uncertainty- could prejudice plan robustness. Reliance on similar 

'commitments' without final clearance from EA could undermine delivery given the flexibility associated with low housing growth. If sites are retained, polices 

DP4/5 should include measures to increase the sites/wider communities resilience flooding. 

Change Sought: Plan should not be reliant upon engineering solutions to flooding. The plan should wait for the revised studies so a more certain conclusion can be made. 

Sites in Towyn and Kinel Bay should be reviewed and if they are to be kept then polices DP4 and 5 should be changed to increase the resistance of these 

communities to flood risk.

Rep No Name 

People Type

Summary Infrastructure, including water supply and sewerage, are a fundamental pre-requisite of a development proceeding. The importance of utility services for the 

promotion of new development and their sustainability is referenced in PPW Chapter 12. 


1 Support 

Summary CCW support the policy and advises that DP/2 that requires contributions to the future maintenance and upkeep of facilities should include "and measures to 

safeguard or enhance wildlife and habitats". 

Such measures are promoted by the Plan and will also be necessary mitigation for some developments. The maintenance of such schemes usually incurs 

ongoing costs. 

To meet the test of soundness, paragraph 4.26 ought to refer specifically to compliance with other policies in the LDP: " Proposals for development in Conwy 

will be supported where they comply with other policies in the LDP and where they have made suitable arrangements etc...." 


Summary Implementation 


It is noted that infrastructure has to be provided before some sites/areas can be developed. As the successful implementation of the Plan will depend on 

investment by the utility companies have assurances been received from the companies concerned that this will occur? If so, this should be stated in the 

plan, but if not, then this should also be clearly indicated together with the associated implications.

Summary Policy DP/5 is very open-ended and not specific. It covers a multitude of services some of which are provided by other statutory utilities and public services. 

No reference is made to what contribution could reasonably be expected from these bodies .Neither a landowner or developer would be able to assess 

viability of a scheme. See attachment. 

Change Sought: To make the Plan sound these policies should be deleted or replaces with proper evidence based policies. 


Summary Redrow object to Policy DP/5 - Infrastructure and New Developments - Paragraph 4.27, for the following reason:- 

1.The sentence commencing "Development should not take place" is unnecessary and should be deleted. The following sentence makes it clear that 

development will only be permitted when an agreed programme of implementation is in place.

about what evidence is available for water and waste management capacity, if it exists or there is need to improve the system and what impacts this may 

have on delivery. 

Change Sought: See full text 


1 Object 

Summary It is accepted that the principle of this policy arises from the Community Levy, and the requirement for commuted sum payments for provision of infrastructure 

is not disputed. However, the payments required should be considered against the development in its entirety and alongside requirements for affordable 

housing provision. There is a risk with the requirements as laid out in the plan that many schemes will prove to be unviable commercially as a result of these 

additional costs. This will impact severely on the delivery of development and the long term achievement of the objectives and vision of the Plan. 

Change Sought: The payments required should be considered against the development in its entirety and alongside requirements for affordable housing provision (the Plan 

requires 50% AHLN from all developments over a certain size), open space contributions and other financial contributions. There is a risk with the 

requirements as laid out in the plan that many schemes will prove to be unviable commercially as a result of these additional costs.

Summary The provision of a minimum of 50% AHLN on development sites in urban areas will render the majority of schemes as being economically unviable and 

reduce development in the County. 

Change Sought: We propose that the 50% figure be omitted and replaced with 30% AHLN as the majority of schemes should be viable at this level. Likewise in rural areas the 

provision of 100% AHLN should be omitted and replaced with 30% AHLN for both tier types. Add in that 100% AHLN is to be provided on all of the council's 

own land holdings and also on all other public owned land. The introduction of high AH percentages and low thresholds in Denbighshire had a direct and

1 Object 

Summary The HBF objects to the land supply calculations shown in the table within paragraph 4.44 as they do not accord with national guidance, are not founded on a 

robust and credible evidence base and are not sufficiently flexible to enable the LDP to deal with changing circumstances. 

Change Sought: The land supply needs to be increased in order to be sufficient to accommodate the suggested dwelling requirement of 9,298 dwellings, provided within our 

response to Policy HOU/1. There should also be additional land allocation of 10% of the total supply to introduce flexibility. 

Any increase in land supply should include greenfield releases in addition to PDL, in order to ensure a range and choice of housing can be provided over the 

plan period. 

The evidence used to inform BP/4 with respect to the amount of dwellings expected via windfall sites needs to be updated. All evidence used to corroborate 

the assumptions made within BP/4 should be included within the background paper, in order for the reader to see exactly how and why those assumptions 

have been made. 

An immediate review of the existing land supply allocations needs to be undertaken, in order to ensure the assumption made in terms of the capacity of each 

allocation to accommodate the number of units stated is correct. 

We also believe allocations within the LDP need to include information on site area and developable area, in order to ensure the assumptions on developable 

area and site capacity are clear and justified.

Summary The principle of specifying limits for domestic extensions /residential conversions in the rural area in the Colwyn Borough Local Plan has given a clarity that 

has assisted both potential developers and the LPA by providing clear guidelines of what would be acceptable. The absence of such clarity is likely to lead to 

inconsistency and the abuse which this can engender. 

Change Sought: The plan fails to include a policy to achieve the need to impose some limitation on the proportionate increase in dwelling size (in the vountryside) as a result o 

any extension, with the aim of preventing a gradual reduction in the stock of smaller and medium sized dwellings in countryside areas".

Summary Conversions to residential use should be looked at more favourable and should not be a last resort. It is not against national policy and as the Council has a 

shortage of affordable housing it should be promoting conversions. 

Conversions to low grade economic uses are less likely on cost grounds and workers will need to travel if converted. 

Change Sought: There should be reference to home working which allows people to work from home without the need to travel everyday. Such work also brings economic 

prosperity to rural areas. 

Paragraph should be reworded to give a more positive attitude to conversion to residential local need use and not necessarily affordable. 

Should be more positive and less negative attitude towards good residential conversions. The only alternative for some buildings is dereliction. Re-word to

Summary The Council's attempt to apply affordable housing requirements to all housing developments such that 50% is required in urban areas and 100% in rural 

areas except for sites for single dwellings (where a financial contribution will be required) is not founded on a robust and credible evidence base and therefore 

fails soundness test CE2. (For further justification, see full submission).

Summary The level of affordable housing at 50% is unsustainable and not viable. Also in part A of the policy one affordable dwelling on developments of two or more 

houses is unviable in today's market. There is no evidence to suggest that this percentage of affordable housing can be provided therefore the plan is 

unsound and fails test CE2 

Change Sought: An acceptable level of affordable housing will probably be between 10 - 20% in the first five years possible rising to 30% if the market improves. Within urban 

windfalls one affordable out of every five should be pursued.

Summary Your text supports AHLN on sites outside main villages. 

It is not adequate to limit this to the uncertainty of giving a first priority to brownfield sites. This gives no developer certainty. 


The policy needs to be relaxed.

Summary We feel that although Bryn Pydew fits into the category of Minor Village it should not be considered suitable for the addition of up to 3 ADLNs. This is not 

appropriate in Bryn Pydew due to accessibility via roads which are already problematic. There is no public transport, and there are no local shops, and no 

local school. The result would be significantly more traffic on worn single lane roads with no pavements poor visibility which would be dangerous to all road 

users including both cars and other users. Any housing should also be in character. 

Change Sought: It should be declared in the Plan that although Bryn Pydew is a minor village, it is not suitable for any ADLN development due to inadequate infrastructure to 

support this.

through private development. The introduction of Community Infrastructure Levy and increased requirements under S106 Planning Agreements may mean 

developments will not be viable and private sector house building will stall.

The Court of Appeal in Blyth Valley Borough Council v Persimmon Homes (North East) Ltd 2008 quashed their 30% Affordable Housing target in the Local 

Plan because "the Planning Authority had not made an informed assessment of the economic viability of any thresholds and proportions of affordable housing 

proposed". The policy as drawn does not have proper regard to the economic viability of residential development particularly in a depressed economy. 

There are reports that AHLN is difficult to sell at the lower prices because purchasers are unable to obtain mortgages and the dwellings remain vacant 

because of the Planning conditions. This policy may reduce the supply of development land on to the market. 

Proposal 

The policy for 50% AHLN has not been based on robust and credible evidence and is not sustainable and the required number of houses will not be delivered 

in accordance with the Plan's targets 

Change Sought: The policy for 50% AHLN has not been based on robust and credible evidence and is not sustainable and the required number of houses will not be delivered 

in accordance with the Plan's targets.

Summary This objection is mainly in relation to the site appraisals referred to in Policy HOU/2 and set out in Background Paper No 9. But it also refers to HOU/1 being 

the overall housing requirement as this will have an impact on the delivery of planning obligations especially affordable housing. This objection relates to 

validity of the site developer appraisals and the extent to which they assert that developer contributions - especially affordable housing- have been assessed 

and demonstrate that 50% affordable housing on site with scope for other developer contributions are economically viable. 

Change Sought: It is submitted that the development appraisals are flawed and the 50% affordable housing requirement cannot be achieved and so the policies are unsound. 

Rather than start with a fixed % and then negotiate at site specific level is it not better to simply say that the % affordable will be based on an indicative but 

lower target of say 20% and each site appraisal started from that point. 


1 Object 

Summary We do not see why there is a requirement for tier 1 and tier 2 villages. 

Change Sought: We propose that AHLN be provided at 30% on all development sites in the plan and with 100% being provided on all council and publicly owned sites. 


1 Object 

Summary The need for high level of affordable housing is acknowledged and supported, the figure of a minimum of 50% would appear to be unrealistically high, 

particularly in view of all of the other financial or other contributions with which developers are likely to be faced. 

Whilst it is acknowledged that the selected sites have been subjected to the Three Dragons Appraisal Toolkit, the site appraisals in Background Paper 9 

would seem to indicate that many of the rural sites would have a very low residual percentage value (3-4%) that would question the likelihood of a developer 

taking on the site. 

Change Sought: The Plan should be amended to ensure that it proposes a more realistic and defensible requirement for the provision of affordable dwellings.

Summary The requirement of Policy HOU/2 for allocated residential sites to provide 50% affordable housing provision is wholly unreasonable and unrealistic. See 

attachment for further information. 

Change Sought: Redraft policy HOU/2 to take account of the low level of finance and public subsidy likely to be available and to provide appropriate site thresholds and site 

specific targets based on a realistic and credible assessment of viability. See attachment for further information.

Summary I object to Bryn Pydew, which is classed as a minor village, being deemed suitable for development of up to 3 ADLN. I feel the provisions available in the 

village are inadequate to support so many new homes. There is no local shop, school or public transport link. All the roads to access the village are narrow, 

single lane, have poor visibility and are in poor condition already. The burden of more traffic from these possible homes would be dangerous for residents and 

leisure users. 

Change Sought: I would like Bryn Pydew to be exempt from the possible development of 3 ADLN as stated in the policy for Minor Villages (Policy numbers 5.1 and 5.2) on the 

grounds of poor infrastructure.

Summary How can you negotiate a percentage when the statement includes the term "a minimum of 50% AHLN" - does that mean that the negotiations start at 100% 

and work their way down to 50%? What is meant by "It is expected that AHLN will be provided without subsidy" - these will be sibsidised by the developers 

unless the council are to cover the cost of the development of these dwellings so that they are not subsidised by the developers? 

Change Sought: You should consider re-wording this policy otherwise this will impact dramatically on residential development in the county as developers look for easier and 

more profitable developments elsewhere in other local authority areas.

Summary The requirement to provide 50% of housing on new housing sited is likely to be unviable. This policy requirement is not supported by any evidence to indicate 

that the provision of 50% affordable housing on new housing sites is viable. As such the LDP housing strategy which has its roots in the need to deliver 

significant levels of affordable housing during the plan period will prove to be fundamentally flawed. One of the main objectives of the LDP will not be 

delivered if a requirment for a minimum of 50% affordable housing is required on new housing sites. 

Change Sought: Revision of the 50% affordable housing requirement and its replacement with a target of 30% affordable housing on greenfield housing sites and a more 

flexible approach to the provision of affordable housing on previously developed land. 


1 Object 

Summary There is a figure of 331 dwellings/year in paragraph 4.56, but then 1908 people needing AH is referred to - 50% reduction not explained. Plan looks to nonmarket 

delivery- no endorsement from relevant industry stating whether it's realistic. Unclear if 50% AH target is viable on small/windfall sites creating 

deliverability difficulties. High yields could result in lack of robustness reducing plan flexibility to market changes. Higher levels of housing provision analysis 

and their ability to deliver more AH appears flawed and misleading. Focus on 'local need' for AH could stifle the labour movement in urban areas which NPP 

says should be accessible for all. 

Change Sought: Explain 50% reduction in AH need. Need endorsement/proof from relevant industry to state whether non-market delivery is possible. Clarify if 50% AH on 

small/windfall sites is viable. Reanalyse higher levels of housing provision and their ability to deliver AH. Remove focus on 'local need' for AH if low housing 

provision used. 


Summary Redrow object to Policy HOU/2 - Affordable Housing for Local Need for the following reasons:- 

1. The proposed affordable housing minimum requirement reflects an over-concentration within the Plan on existing housing commitments (which will deliver 

very few affordable homes) and an overall housing requirement which has been set far too low. 

2. No consideration has been given to the ability of the Registered Social Landlords which operate in Conwy to purchase the implied number of new homes. 


3. A 50% affordable housing requirement will not result in the creation of mixed and well balanced communities. 

A lower affordable housing target should be set (e.g. 30%) following a thorough reassessment of the deliverability of the existing housing land supply, a new 

housing requirement figure of at least 9300 net additions to the dwelling stock and realistic viability testing.

Summary Poor drafting, policy HOU/2 appears to state that market housing will be provided on rural exception sites in Tier 1 'main villages'. This would be contrary to

Summary Minafon Farm, Betwys Yn Rhos be allocated for general purpose housing with 50% affordable housing. 

Change Sought: The Minafon Farm site should be allocated for open market housing with a realistic proportion of affordable housing rather than 100% affordable. 


Summary The policy is not consistent in its wording to mean that "only AHLN units will be permitted on exception sites". 

Criterion (a)ii should be further amended by clarifying that small scale 100% AHLN sites outside Main Village settlement boundaries will be acceptable subjec 

to meeting criteria against which a housing development would be judged (MIPPS 01/2006 Housing, para. 9.2.22), including a search sequence.

Summary The inclusion of a 50% requirement for Affordable Housing may result in developer flight due to the proximity of Conwy to Denbighshire. 

Change Sought: It is recommended that Conwy Local Planning Authority consider carefully the 50% affordable housing requirement and its potential impact upon adjacent 

local planning authorities. 


1 Object 

Summary The owner of the Esgyryn site is fully aware of the importance of securing housing to meet affordable needs, and furthermore, they are willing to meet with 

their requirements regarding the provision of on site affordable housing. However, in order to ensure the viability and provision of such housing it is important 

to consider the housing numbers allocated by Conwy Council. 

Change Sought: The local authority propose the provision of just 90 units on the site in order to assist in securing the viability of the wider site and the employment uses 

proposed. However, the viability of this site is undermined by the high requirement for affordable housing on site, alongside the open space requirements, 

provision of sustainable design and the infrastructure improvements necessary to deliver the project. The land split as proposed by Pod in their original 

masterplan and detailed further in the vision included at Appendix 5 is considered to be more appropriate, more viable and more sustainable and should be 

replicated by the local authority. 


1 Object 

Summary The figure presented for affordable housing (50%) appears to pay insufficient regard to the needs of the community at large. The housing provision focuses 

on affordability and no attention would appear to have been paid to the needs of the elderly, disabled or other specialised groups who also require purpose 

built, appropriate accommodation. 

Change Sought: Where applications propose the provision of housing to meet other areas of special need within Conwy the level of affordable housing required should be 

reduced in order to secure viability and a mix of housing to meet local need. In relation to the Esgyryn site if the Council can successfully justify 50% 

affordable housing, which is considered unduly prescriptive (without adequate justification - see above) then we would advocate 30% for affordable housing, 

alongside as provision of housing with care for the elderly (over 55's) and in any event the amount of affordable/social housing should reflect other 

considerations including viability and sustainable design (over and above that required by Government policy).

be locations near existing or planned public transport nodes or corridors, where there is good access to local services and facilities. To ensure high densities 

do not compromise the quality of the environment of new sites, sites will need to be carefully designed. We welcome the recognition in Paragraph 4.67, that 

lower density levels may be needed in certain locations. CCW considers that density levels should also take into account an area's character and 

environmental capacity.

Summary Our client support the content of the policy. 

Change Sought: The policy should recognise that previously developed sites should be prioritised over Greenfield sites and that densities on previously developed sites could

Summary The policy as currently worded fails to meet the soundness test CE2 in that it is not founded on a robust and credible evidence base.

The Council have acknowledged that the local housing market assessment (phase 2) is not yet available. However, they seek to be extremely prescriptive in

Summary Policy HOU/4 does not have sufficient evidence base to support it and is unlikely to deliver its targets anyway. Simply because there may be a mis-match

households.

Summary Page 84 Policy HOU/4 Housing Mix 


This policy is too prescriptive with regard to the mix of house sizes and should be more flexible otherwise developers will be inhibited from developing sites. 

Whilst the policy does allow some flexibility it is not clear how this will be implemented in practice. 

I would suggest that a range of percentages is used so that it will be easier to comply e.g. 60-70% for 1 and 2 bedroom houses.

Summary Affordable housing is more likely to be occupied by people who do not have a car of their own. Therefore safeguards are needed to ensure that affordable 

houses are situated in a convenient location within a large new housing development site. Easy access to public transport links and local services is 

particularly important for older and disabled people and for younger people with children, whose lives can become very restricted and isolated if marginalised 

on the edge of housing developments. 

Change Sought: To ensure that there is specific guidance for developers on the positioning of affordable housing within a larger housing complex so that they are placed as 

near to transport hubs and local services as possible. 


Summary Redrow object to Policy HOU/4 - Housing Mix for the following reasons:- 

1.The Policy is too prescriptive and would not allow developers to respond to market demand; which they are uniquely qualified to assess. 

2.Developers will not build houses which they cannot sell, so the Policy risks diverting development outside the County. 


3.The Policy confuses need with demand, in that most single person households aspire to housing with two or more bedrooms; not least because it offers 

more flexibility for changing lifestyles/circumstances. 

The Policy should be reworded to state that, ''the Council will seek to ensure an appropriate mix of house types in all new developments, having regard to the 

character of the surrounding area. Provision of affordable housing should take into account the findings of the Council's Local Housing Market Assessment''. 


1 Object 

Summary It is considered that policy HOU/4 is an overly prescriptive approach that could limit the flexibility of the plan, although Conwy propose to produce an SPG to 

provide clarity on this policy.

seek to apply a higher level of affordable housing on Council and Government owned sites. Policy HOU/2 references a minimum 50% provision (dependent 

on viability) and does not prevent landowners providing more affordable housing in some cases. Both the Welsh Assembly Government and the County 

Borough Council are committed to the delivery of affordable housing but it is considered that this can be undertaken within the terms of policy HOU/2 and the 

specific policy aims of these public organisations. The inclusion of Policy HOU/6 which seeks to apply different standards on the basis of land ownership in 

addition to accepted site specific targets and site thresholds is therefore considered unnecessary.

Summary We would like to register our objection to the above document on the following grounds:- 

There is no provision in the plan for the provision of open storage land for local business. 

In this report prepared for Conwy Council by JOP Consulting in November 2008 titled "Conwy Employment Land Study" there appears to be no replacement 

open storage land which could be utilised in the Llandudno Junction area. In view of the fact that a substantial area of the Tremarl Industrial Estate in 

Llandudno Junction has been delegated by you for retail development, this makes this report in direct conflict with the Council's own policy on the Conwy 

Employment Land Study element of the Development Plan i.e. sustainable business. 

No consideration has been given to the Council's own policies or for the welfare of the local businesses who have all been on this site for many years and 

who without relocation will be put out of business causing significant unemployment. 

Change Sought: Provision in the plan for the provision of open storage land for local business. 


1 Object 

Summary The Council has not properly justified the proposed split for employment land provision of 80% employment being made in the Urban Development Strategy 

Areas and 10% in the Rural Area. In this respect, it is noted that the Deposit Draft suggests that the split for housing should be 90% in the Urban 

Development Strategy Areas and 10% in the Rural Area. The difference in approach is not explained or justified. 

It is recognised that the Rural Area does have needs for small scale employment opportunities but the bulk of rural employment needs should be met by the 

nearby towns such as LLanrwst which act as rural service centres. It is also worth emphasising that employment sites in villages away from the A55 are 

unlikely to be attractive to the market except for very small-scale rural industry. Take-up on a hectarage basis will be low. 

Change Sought: It is considered that the appropriate split should be a minimum of 90% in the Urban Development Strategy Areas and up to 10% in the Rural Area. 


Summary Table 7 greatly underestimates likely demand over the plan period at 1.7ha per annum. 

The Employment Land Assessment states that "the benchmark demand on past trends" is of the order of 2.6ha (page 11). However, this figure itself is likely 

to be a significant underestimate based upon take-up in the recent past, including the Mochdre site. Where good marketable sites have come forward in 

Conwy accessible to the A55, they have been taken up. Past low take-up rates have been more a reflection of the poor quality of the employment land offer 

than intrinsic low demand. 

The basis for the 1.7ha per annum estimate of future demand is said to be set out in the Council's Employment Land Assessment (November 2009). This 

document lacks clarity and does not adequately justify its conclusions. In particular, the estimate of future demand does not seem to be based upon any 

systematic appraisal of how the economy of the area is likely to change over the plan period or the needs of existing or future businesses. 

Change Sought: It is considered that the LDP should plan for a take up of at least 3ha per annum in the coastal urban areas, equivalent to 45 ha over the plan period. To 

provide choice and flexibility, a further 45ha should be allocated and made available. This factor for choice and flexibility would also help compensate for the 

fact that a significant proportion of the committed supply is constrained physically or is in the wrong place or of the wrong type to be attractive to the market. I 

would also provide an element for other uses which are likely to take place on allocated employment land such as waste facilities. 

1737 

The LDP should ensure that a supply of 5 to 7 years immediately developed land is always available in the urban areas. 

Barton Willmore (Mr Michael Courcier) [44] 

1 Object 

Summary The policy is unclear in its meaning and how it would operate, especially in relation to Policy EMP/2. It uses terms such as "Full Stock" and "Free Stock" which 

are not properly explained or distinguished. It further confuses by referring to demand as 58ha whilst Table 7 expresses demand at 24ha over the plan period 

Change Sought: The policy should clearly set out the level of employment land release for which the LDP is making provision. The accompanying text should set out how that 

level has been arrived at, including the target for take-up and the additional element which is needed to provide choice and flexibility. It should also clarify 

whether the figure includes or excludes any requirement for the rural areas, and how much land should be identified in these areas and by what means. 

Currently the Plan does not provide for any employment land allocations in the rural areas (outside the designated urban areas which include Llanrwst) 


1 Object 

Summary There is concern that policy EMP/1 would appear to be incomplete; reference is made to a spectrum of figures for employment land of between 80 hectares 

with no minimum requirement outlined in the policy. 

Change Sought: This should clearly be clarified to ensure that the policy framework is transparent and clear. Furthermore, clarification is sought that the Council have adopted 

the most appropriate methodology when calculating employment land requirements, in circumstances where the figure of 80 hectares would appear to be 

excessive.

Summary The plans text, justification and background paper/s dealing with employment land are confusing. There appears to be provision in excess of demand and 

disjointed relation to the level of proposed housing and a distribution skewed away from the hub/key business sectors as set out in the Wales Spatial Plan. 

The 'priority issue' to protect the natural environment does not appear to apply in the same way to employment land as it does to housing requiring further 

explanation. Clarification is required on how the allocations assist in delivering the identified sustainability issues. 

Change Sought: Revise EMP/1

Policy EMP/3 Safeguarding Existing B1, B2 and B8 Employment Land 

Rep No Name 

382 Penmaenmawr Town Council (Cllr Dafydd Lloyd-Borland) [682] 

Summary We would like to see existing employment sites identified and a corresponding policy which protects these sites from alternative use. 

Change Sought: Existing employment sites identified and protected.

Summary Policy EMP/4 makes it clear that specified types of mixed use development will be supported on particular EMP/3 sites. Although supported by policy, it could 

be argued that this would lead to a loss in the supply of land allocated for B1, B2 and B8 employment use. EMP/1(4) promotes the expansion of existing B1, 

B2 & B8 businesses within established employment areas in line with EMP/4, and again, could be argued to conflict with EMP/4. Similarly EMP/1 promotes 

"the expansion of existing B1, B2 & B8 businesses within established employment areas in line with EMP/4" at subs 3. 

Change Sought: Policy EMP/3 should therefore be amended to confirm a third exception to the policy as follows: 

"Policy EMP/3 Development that would lead to the loss of existing and committed employment land or premises to other uses will only be granted in the 

following exceptional circumstances; 

1. the present use is not compatible with the surrounding area and the site is not capable of satisfactory use for employment, and; 

2. it can be demonstrated that there would be no significant impact on the overall supply of employment land and premises. 

1504 

3. it is in accordance with Policy EMP/4" 

Community Development Services - Conwy County Borough Council (Mr Robert Dix) [1878] 

Summary EMP/3 II - we need to be clear on the definition of significant impact, is it plot size, employment capacity, or? This needs to be clarified. 



Summary Whilst EMP/3 and 4 protect existing employment sites the supporting text only refers to B!, B2 and B8 uses. This means that outside of tourist 

accommodation there is no policy framework to safeguard existing tourism developments. 

Change Sought: Modifications - see summary.

Policy EMP/4 Promoting Mix Use Employment Land 

Rep No Name 

People Type 


1 Support 

Summary The proposal for mixed use development including 'Health/Medical Employment" at Abergele Business Park is supported. This presumably relates to 

health/medical uses within Classes C2 and D1 (which have previously been permitted), and ancillary uses. 

Watershore's recent proposals for a physical disability centre (C2) and ancillary uses on this site were described as providing supported living 

accommodation for local people with profound physica and learning disabilities, providing over 40 new jobs, but was still rejected. 

This policy would support such a proposal in the future, but it would assist all parties if the range of uses were clarified. 


1 Support 

Summary for the avoidance of doubt we would advise that we support the principle of a mixed use development on the basis of the uses proposed by the local authority 

however we are concerned that the split of development currently proposed will in the long run prove to be unviable. The split of development as proposed 

within the indicative masterplan produced by Pod is more workable and would be supported. 

Change Sought: The split of development as proposed within the indicative masterplan produced by Pod is more workable and would be supported.

Summary As there is the possibility that the land at Glanrafon might be withdrawn for the owner Bryn y Neuadd site should be considered as a mix site for development. 

Change Sought: Bryn y Neuadd site should be conisidered as a mix site for development, including social and affordable housing in Llanfairfechan.

Summary Ainscough Johnson welcome the designation of the former aluminium factory site within this policy. 

Change Sought: The policy and supporting text should be amended to include tourism uses and small scale retail uses. There is a need to encourage and support the tourism 

sector and exploit the tourism potential of the County and sites such as the former aluminium factory has significant potential to accommodate facilities that 

will enhance and support the tourism industry in this part of the plan area, but also the national Park. 

Policy EMP4 should not therefore be prescriptive but should be more flexible and provide for a variety of potential uses at Dolgarrog.

In addition, that these briefs may be prepared by landowners or others with the agreement and involvement of the local planning authority. Potentially, the lack

614 Mr Alexander George [839] 

1 Object 

Summary Policy EMP 9 needs to be altered to permit new tourism development in rural areas consistent with the aspirations of SO5 and 8 and EMP 6 as this is the 

main contradiction on policy. tourism development should be permitted subject to:- 

1. Self sufficiency 

2. Design - Move away from static caravans to wooden, more aesthetically sensitive structures 

3. Limit density of development. 

4. Social and economic criteria - Reflecting the need for flexibility and diversification in rural areas 

5. A split between coastal and rural tourism development. 

6. Development should not be restricted to existing tourist sites 

Change Sought: Revise Policy EMP/9

Summary While we support the desire to protect the natural environment further recognition should be given to the role of the natural environment in tourism and its 

contribution to the local economy 


1 Support 

Summary As previously stated the land controlled by Ainscough Johnson needs to be recognised for its potential to provide enhanced facilities for tourism related 

activities within the County, espcially given its location within the County and accessibiity to the National Park. 

Change Sought: We would consider that there should be specific reference to Dolgarrog within the policy and its significant Tourism/Leisure potential and that where 

appropriate, such uses will be encouraged to be developed on the site. 


Summary CCW supports the clauses requiring protection of the natural and built environment and heritage qualities. 

CCW supports the use of the Public Rights of Way Plan and Coastal access to improve tourism. 


1 Object 

Summary There is a growing trend to stay at home (within the UK) for holidays. This is occurring because of current economic reasons, more lengthy and complicated 

air travel arrangements, personal concerns about global warming and in response to better quality home holiday offers during the whole year. This policy 

should be more supportive of this change and trend in the tourism sector. 

Change Sought: Add a clause: 

Support for well designed self catering accommodation that can show resource efficient design (RED) will be given where the schemes of an appropriate 

scale and size to the community they are located within. 

1611 Lyons Holiday Parks [1961] 

1 Object 

Summary Objection to policy EMP/6 crierion d and EMP/9 1b. It is not supported by any evidence base justifying the approach taken or the alternative spatial options. 

There is no background paper or survey data supporting the policy stance to prohibit either extensions to existing or the 

provision of new sites. Lyons Holiday Parks objects to the policy as it would restrict customer choice, stifle innovation in delivery, prevent caravan parks from 

responding and adapting to 

changing markets and standards as well as placing the Companies parks in an uncompetitive and unfavourable position when compared to sites in 

neighbouring North Wales Authorities and nationally. 

Change Sought: This part of the policy should be amended to allow for enhancement and extension of sites in appropriate circumstance. A policy based criteria could suffice 

and provide flexibility. 


1 Object 

Summary Not much to appeal to the younger tourists. Economy should be more diverse not just TOURISM! If tourism is the main industry and children don't want to do 

that then why should they stay? Improved links from different tourist attractions.

Summary The section relating to tourism policy includes a number of minor weaknesses continuing the above theme but also a fixation on coastal tourism with a lack of 

recognition or acceptance of the significance of Snowdonia to our industry and the pressure that that is likely to place on Conwy in terms of development 

demand in the Plan period as rural based tourism activity becomes increasingly important. 

Change Sought: It is therefore important that para 4.119 not only considers the impact of tourism upon the environment but the impact upon the community.

Summary St Davids Rd should be classed as a primary serviced accommodation because of high proportion of guesthouses of mainly 4 star and should be dealt with 

accordingly. 

Change Sought: Include in primary holiday accommodation zone. EMP/8 Map 2 need changing. 


1 Object 

Summary Policy EMP/8 and the Holiday accommodation zone needs to be reconsidered in light of the accommodation survey currently underway and also must make 

reference to Supplementary Planning Guidance which needs to be established as a priority. 

Change Sought: Reconsider in light of accommodation survey currently underway. Refer to SPG - establish document as a priority. The boundaries of the holiday zone as 

currently drawn are insufficient and should include areas such as St Davids Road, St Mary's Road, Carmen Sylvia Road, Roseberry Avenue etc. 


1 Object 

Summary In analysing Llandudno, para 3.20, the significance of the serviced accommodation sector is recognised, again spoken of in terms of protection, but not the 

need to improve and develop facilities. 

Change Sought: Restaurants, pubs, clubs, attractions are all needed to support the accommodation and sectors of the industry which will bring all year tourism. Policies 

relating to Holiday Accommodation and Shopping Zones within resorts such as Llandudno need to consider the needs of facilities such as these and more 

strongly support the intent of SO6.

1 Object 

Summary Policy EMP/9, 1b and 1c in particular, appear to be unduly rigid and contradictory. See attachment for personal example from Uwchaled. 

Change Sought: I believe that a link with a tourist attraction such as we have in Bala or Llyn Brenig is more than adequate to prevent new caravan parks and extensions from 

proliferating in the countryside. We also need to define 'small' in a sensible way. Compared to the massive sites we have in coastal areas, anything under 50 

vans would be small in my view. Planners who think of small sites in terms of a maximum of say 10 vans simply aren't living in the real world where costs, 

such as we must now incur to upgrade our access road can be crippling. It is worth noting that on the coastal strip between Abergele/Pensarn and Rhyl, there 

are literally thousands of caravans. In my ward of Uwchaled, which is probably 40 times bigger in area, there are 3 static caravan parks with the total number 

of caravans standing at approximately 63. A section of para 4.131 appears to be have been removed in the final glossy LDP document (see attachment for 

full response). 


1 Object 

Summary Page 110 EMP/9 


The policy is unrealistic in that it does not allow any expansion of sites or increase in units. This may be justified for static sites but there should be flexibility 

for modest expansion of touring caravan sites otherwise no improvements are likely. In most cases existing touring caravan sites have had the benefit of 

planning permission therefore they should be in the right location and have adequate services. 

Modest appropriate expansion should be allowed for touring sites and the policy should change to reflect this or an additional policy included. 


Summary There is a very strong objection to this policy and especially clause 2 

The policy needs to respect and respond to changing patterns and trends in tourism in order to maximise the economic benefit of such proposals and to 

ensure good sustainable design and quality of provision. 

Change Sought: Planning permission will be given for new, resource efficient design (RED) and well designed self catering accommodation where it is appropriate in scale 

and size of the community it lies within.

1 Object 

Summary LDP accepts that chalet/caravan sites are important source of holiday accommodation, can be crucial to the tourism economy and that the problem of 

saturation does not apply in the rural area. Policy EMP/9 is too restrictive and should not preclude an increase in the number of static caravan/chalet units on 

existing sites or an overall increase in the site area in the Rural Area, where this can be achieved without detriment to the rural character and appearance of 

the area. Policy EMP/9 should differentiate between the improvement of existing sites in the urban and rural areas. 

Change Sought: In Line 1, after "existing sites" add "in the Urban Development Strategy Area". 

Insert new Part 2 stating: 

"Proposals for the improvement and extension of existing sites in the Rural Area will be permitted provided that the development: 

a)Results in the overall improvement of the facilities, layout and landscaping; 

b)Safeguards the rural character and appearance of the area; 

c)Accords with the Development Principles and other related policies within the Plan." 

Re-number Part 2 of EMP/9 as Part 3.

Summary WAG is promoting the regeneration of Rhyl/Colwyn Bay. New chalet/caravan park development may be an essential and integral component of forthcoming 

comprehensive mixed use regeneration schemes. The overall concept and viability of potentially significant regeneration schemes which the LPA would, in 

principle, wish to encourage may be severely prejudiced if new chalet/caravan park development is excluded from the range of potentially acceptable uses. 

Policy EMP/9 is too inflexible, does not have sufficient regard to either PPW or the SRA. The policy should permit, exceptionally,new chalet/caravan park 

development which is integral to major regeneration schemes in the SRA. 

Change Sought: At the end of the policy, after "will not be permitted", add "unless they form an integral component of significant, mixed use regeneration schemes within the 

SRA"

Summary The above site has recently been purchased by Otmatold Ltd., and I have been instructed to write to you on their behalf. 

The site is presently used to store caravans but my clients wish to register their interest in converting the site into a caravan holiday park at sometime in the 

future and would like you to bear this in mind when preparing your Unitary Development Plan.

97 British Holiday and Home Parks Association (Clwyd Branch) (Mr J McAllister) [160] 

1 Object 

Summary The LDP is unsound in relation to tests C1 and 2, CE1, 2 and 4. The plan is extremely negative and inflexible. Some parks (outside the Towyn coastal 

stretch) do have the potential to improve by utilising adjoining land. Flexibility should enable the parks to reduce caravan density to improve facilities and 

should be allowed through extensions. There is no reason why a policy approach could not be adopted which is the same as that in the 'recently adopted' 

Gwynedd UDP which allows for upgrading of accommodation and reducing the impact upon the landscape. 

Change Sought: Provide a range of tourism policies which will secure its future by enabling existing parks to improve their range of accommodation, reduce densitities, 

improve landscaping and reduce the parks impact on landscape.

Summary The LDP will not allow new chalet, static caravan, touring caravan or campsites to be permitted within the County. This could potentially have an impact on

Summary Policy EMP9(2) is unduly restrictive, conflicts with national policy and other strategies and objectives and appears to be without evidential basis. The policy 

fails to take account the opportunities that may emerge during the plan period to deliver new high quality, sites that contribute to objectives of delivering 

sustainable tourism and reducing seasonality during the plan period in urban or rural locations. 

Change Sought: The policy should not be carried through as it is unsound. The plan should be modified to provide criteria based policies that allows for new sites and 

extensions to existing in appropriate circumstances. 


1 Object 

Summary Policy EMP/9 A blanket no to new chalet and caravan sites, or 'unserviced accommodation' (para 4.125) is not acceptable. Demands within the market place 

in regards to the nature of 'un serviced accommodation' are changing. When considered alongside the increasing importance of 'rural tourism' discussed 

earlier a far more proactive approach needs to be taken. 

Change Sought: A way forward may be to have separate policies for the urban and rural development areas, albeit that that may be seen to discriminate against a few sites in 

and around Llanrwst.

Summary There is no policy which specifically protects and enhances existing arts and cultural 'opportunities' nor that new facilities will be developed. 

The description of the term 'community facilities' is not clear and there is no entry in the Glossary. 

Change Sought: We can find no policy in the document that specifically protects and enhances existing arts and cultural 'opportunities' nor that new facilities will be developed. 


1 Object 

Summary Para 4.135 recognises that there are many more facilities and services required, be they leisure, health, social or economic, but the policy content of the Plan 

does not support this. 

Change Sought: Through the Rural Community Action Plan we now have substantive appraisals for many of the communities within the rural area and are working towards ful 

coverage. Reference should be made to these and consideration given to where in the villages some of the requirements could be accommodated. Equally 

through regeneration programmes within the coastal area a picture is being built up in respect of some of the deficiencies in community facilities provision.

Summary The importance of access to the above facilities has been highlighted extensively within the Deposit LDP and Housing Strategy. However, there are a number 

of key community facilities that have been developed in the past that do not have easy access to transport links and it is worth highlighting these to clearly 

understand the needs. The Asda Supermarket in Llandudno, the RSPB reserve in Conwy, the Tesco store and CineWorld complex in Llandudno Junction are 

not accessible by public transport to the front door. 

Change Sought: The design of new community facilities to incorporate provision for public transport links up to the front door of those facilities, wherever feasibly possible. 

This could also be applied to existing retail outlets, where feasible.

Summary Policies in the Draft Core Strategy pays little attention to the provision of health care facilities, irrespective of comments within the draft Plan, for example, at 

para 2.2, 2.3 and 4.135, Background Paper 13 and also the Wales Spatial Plan. 

Policy CFS/1 states that the provision of adequate social and community facilities such as education, health and social care, open space, leisure and 

shopping facilities are essential, but provides no means of achieving other than shopping, open space and allotments. 

Change Sought: It is therefore proposed that Policy CFS/1 be amended to include a further subsection: 

"Policy CFS/1 The Council will protect and, where possible, enhance community facilities and services by: 

2688 

...i. supporting the provision of new education, health and social care, open space and leisure facilities."

Summary Whilst the plan rightly allocates land for further allotments, there is no policy or reference to allocating additional land or other provision for open space, either 

to make up the current difficiencies or to provide for the needs of the occupants of the new dwellings to be built. 

Change Sought: The plan is deficient in not making land allocations for the identified requirements for major open space. Consequently the plan should be amended to 

identify and allocate land for such purposes together with an appropriate related policy.

Summary I am writing to express my concern that the proposed Local Development Plan for Abergele does not include any provision for a new burial ground. 

Given the fact that should additional housing go ahead in the town the population would rise even further and this would be likely to lead to a greater increase 

in the demand for burial spaces, I request that, as a matter of some urgency, provision is made for a new burial ground within the town.

Summary It is perhaps a failure of the Plan that it has not recognised as one of its priority issues the dependency of rural Conwy upon the coastal communities for its 

services. This is identified in the Conwy Rural Development Strategy, responding to the Wales Rural Development Plan and the 2004 Wales Rural 

Observatory survey. The potential of the Schools Modernisation Programme could worsen the situation or provide an opportunity to resolve part of the 

problem. 

Change Sought: Review priority issues.

Summary Sainsbury's support the identified retail hierarchy set out within policy CFS/2. 

Change Sought: Paragraph 3.22 relating to capacity within Colwyn Bay to 2011 does not look far enough ahead and is thus unhelpful. Sainsbury's would suggest that the 

following statement be amended as follows: 




1 Support 

Summary Ainscough Johnson generally support the aims of the policy and the principles behind the proposed hierarchy. However, some flexibility needs to be 

incorporated within the policy to reflect the needs of individual settlements and villages. 

Change Sought: The former aluminium factory site has the ability to re-establish and enhance retail provision for the community and we would ask that the policy reflects this 

potential. This should be given particular support where it can enhance the vitality and viability of the village.

Summary I have no objection to the planned allotments but think that the housing element will have an adverse effect on residential amenity, traffic generated,

Change Sought: No change proposed.

Summary I have no objection to the planned allotments but think that the housing element will have an adverse effect on residential amenity, traffic generated, 

environmental conditions from the working dairy farm, on ecological and wildlife interests and landscape character, on agricultural land, and on essential 

community facilities. 

Change Sought: I consider the proposed development would have an adverse effect on:- 

* Residential amenity 

* From the traffic generated in the region of two schools and increased traffic movement through Penrhynside 

* On environmental conditions arising from the noise and odours generated from a working dairy farm 

* On ecological and wildlife interests and landscape character (I understand that the area is a nesting site for lapwings) 

* On the best and most versatile agricultural land (the proposed development is on A1 agricultural land and the development would significantly affect the 

livelihood of the tenant farmer) 

* On essential community facilities (an increase in population would put pressure on the two schools, the local medical centre and recreational facilities)

250 Abergele Town Council [506] 

Summary The plan is unsound as it does not provide a robust evidence base or coherent strategy for securing much need allotment facilities in the town. 

People Type 

The Town Councils own data - which has not been requested by the Council to inform its evidence base (Background Paper 25) - identifies significant local 

demand for allotment provision within the town which should be met locally, not transferred to other existing locations which are less sustainable and 

convenient for the Abergele community. 

Change Sought: 1. A site allocation must be made within the town council boundary to provide for allotments. 

A plan identifying a site which the Town Council considers suitable for joint use as both allotments and PLaying fields has been separately emailed to the 

cdll.ldp@conwy.gov.uk address.

20 Object 

Summary Planning Policy Wales TAN 16 states that in accordance with the provisions of the Smallholdings and Allotments Act 1908, local authorities are under an 

obligation to provide sufficient plots for residents where they believe there is a demand for allotments. If local authority land is not available, the Act 

empowers authorities to compulsorily hire or purchase private land. 

CCBC does not appear to have considered acquiring any land to fulfil its duty to make suitable provision for allotments. 

Trefriw Allotments Group (TAG) has identified a suitable site which could be acquired. 

Change Sought: CCBC should purchase or hire this land to provide allotments in Trefriw for the people of Trefriw

Summary This policy of 3ha per 1,000 population is not based on national policy nor a sound evidence base. 

No Open Spaces Assessment has been undertaken in line with national guidance - especially TAN 16 on open space. Accordingly, there is no

1 Object 

Summary Objection to policy CFS/12 as it does not correspond to National Guidance, it is not founded on a robust and credible evidence base and is not reasonable 

flexible enough to enable it to deal with changing circumstances. See attachment for full response. 

Change Sought: The Council must ensure there is sufficient evidence to justify two separate policies requiring open space provision before they are included within the deposit 

LDP. 

Policy CFS/12 should be re-worked and justified by an appropriate open space assessment as required by TAN 16 or removed. 

Any policy that deals with the requirements of open space provision to be included within the deposit LDP should include information to state that the impact 

of its requirements on development viability will be taken into account and certain dispensation will be allowed where its requirements cannot be supported by 

land values. This will include taking into consideration all other planning obligations, as well as development costs.

Summary The Conwy Deposit LDP for Abergele contradicts its own statement under point 4.161 of the plan and the Healthy Conwy Strategy 2008-2011 by proposing to 

build on open, green land that hundreds of children already play football on. It fails to respect the following Welsh Assembly Government policies:- target 2,3,7 

and 15 of "Climbing Higher"; "Healthy and Active Lifestyles in Wales Action Plan (Oct 2002); Play Policy (Oct 2002). It also fails to respect the aims of the 

Sports Council Wales 5x60 campaign. 

Change Sought: The statement should be adhered to! This statement is eminently sensible, but the Conwy Deposit LDP for Abergele clearly fails to adhere to this statement 

by proposing to build of football fields!

Summary I object to the allocation of playing fields in abergele off Rhuddlan road for development. 

The allocation of land is not in accordance with the county social care and well being strategy 

The loss of playing fields conflicts with national planning policy. 

The loss conflicts with the spatial plan. 

These playing fields are widely used by the local community. 

Change Sought: Removal of the proposal for the Abergele site

Summary The landscape with the woodland at Nant Ysgubor-Newydd and around Teyrdan Farm (Coed y Walk) is particularly pleasant from Llanelian-yn-Rhos and 

other areas in the location and this would be spoilt by any development up Llanelian Road. So my wife and I are pleased that these are designated as Ancient 

Woodlands in the LDP

Summary To comply with LDP Wales, paragraphs 2.18 and 2.21, criterion (d) should be amended to clarify that this refers to statutory and non-statutory designations. 

4.175 - CCW welcomes the recognition of the need for the authority to consider impacts of activities that lie outside Snowdonia National Park on the

identity of individual settlements and the open counrtyside through use of settlement boundaries to control development - Penrhynside as a village (needs to

Summary There are no specific references or policies on how they propose to deal with wind farms outside the SSA - BWEA's draft response only briefly refers to this in 

but this is a key issue which requires clear local policy. For example, TAN 8 encourages small community based schemes outside SSAs and states that "loca 

planning authorities should give careful consideration to these issues and provide criteria that are appropriate to local circumstances". The Conwy LDP has 

not done this.

Summary I was particularly pleased to read your proposals in 4 and 12 to retain the green wedge which constitues Bodafon Farm and the desire to preserve it in its 

entirety from housing development. 

I believe that the wording of the document on these matters could be strengthened to reflect the more forceful wording of PPW Section 2.8.1. Lands grades 

1,2 and 3a should only be developed if there is an overriding need for development and other previously developed land or land in lower agricultural grades is 

unavailable.

Summary My Wife and I fully support the LDP designating Green Wedge 8 (Between Llanelian & Colwyn Bay) as this very much enhances the local area surrounding it. 

However because of this it is assumed that as the Green Wedge 8 covers the considered development sites 233, 234, 265, 266 and 333 that these are no 

longer being considered as suitable for development and we fully support this decision. 

143 Mr Andrew Bathie [245] 

1 Support 

Summary I support the plan and in broad outline, and particularly wish to support the development of green wedges. Living in Llanelian I am particularly concerned that 

a number of applications to develop land around the village have been made. If permission for these is granted the character and appearance of both the 

village and the undeveloped countryside would be damaged. This would not be in keeping with stated proposed policy (7.5) CN5. 

A further factor that should be considered is existing policy CTH/2 which outlines development affecting heritage assets, including conservation areas. 

Llanelian is a designated conservation village, and as such needs protection from encroachment. 

Policy DP/2 states "over the plan period no market housing sites or employment sites will be allocated." This would suggest that the applications for 

development adjacent to the village is inappropriate and should be rejected.

Summary Whilst I broadly support the policy I strongly object to Green Wedge boundaries in Table NTE/2a, between Penrhyn Bay and Rhos on Sea, being amended 

'to meet housing need' What housing need? Conwy Council has recently closed a number of schools due to a reduction in pupil numbers. Surely, this would 

be indicative of a declining population and would negate the need to build on green field sites. Even if such a 'housing need' were identified shouldn't the 

Council be examining redevelopment of brown field sites before destroying the countryside? 

Change Sought: Abandon the amendment to the Green Wedge boundaries in Table NTE/2a which would allow housing to be built between Rhos on Sea and Penrhyn Bay.

Summary Green wedge 2 should be slightly reduced in size. 

Change Sought: Green wedge 2 should be slightly reduced in size. 


Summary The site shown on the attached plan at Glan Conwy Corner should be deleted from the green wedge shown under Policy NTE/2. 

The site is shown by the Deposit Draft as part of a green wedge which is meant to separate Llandudno Junction from Mochdre. This is a new designation as 

the site was not previously shown as part of the green wedge between Llandudno Junction and Mochdre by either the Llandudno District Plan or the Conwy 

Draft Unitary Development Plan. In any event, the site does little to separate the two settlements as it is to the south of Conwy Road and not within the critical 

open gap between Llandudno Junction and Mochre. 

Change Sought: Delete the site from the Green Wedge. 


Summary Land at Nant-y-~Gamar Road, Llandudno 

The land is enclosed on three sides by existing development. The site is partially screened by existing development and is not significant in the landscape. 

Its development would form a natural extension of Craig-y-Don and would not result in the coalescence of Craig-y-Don and Craigside nor affect the open 

character of the remaining open land between these settlements. 

The land was not included in the green wedge in previous development plans. 

For further justification - see submission.

Summary The Background Paper indicates that the function of Green Wedge 2 is to prevent the coalescence of the settlements of Deganwy, Llandudno Junction and 

Llanrhos-Llandudno. It is clear that the smaller site has no significant function in this respect with the established built form within the area already dictating an 

edge to the settlement which is consistent with the northern edge of the suggested site - hence why the proposal has been described as, in effect, a logical 

rounding-off in this location. 

Change Sought: It is proposed that land as illustrated on the attached plan and located at the junction of Marl Lane and Pentywyn Road within Green Wedge 2 should be 

excluded from the designated area as the area in question performs no significant green wedge function; the retention of the land within the designated green 

wedge makes the plan unsound in context of Test CE2 having regard to paragraph above.

Summary There is a need for Green Wedges to avoid an urban sprawl, spreading from Llandudno to Colwyn Bay. However, Penrhynside and Penrhyn Bay currently 

have defined boundaries on the east-Derwen Lane for Penrhynside, and Llanrhos Road for Penrhyn Bay.The farm fields east of Derwen Lane should form 

part of the Green Wedge, providing a boundary between Penrhynside and Glanwydden, and Penrhyn Bay and Rhos-on-Sea. 

I cannot understand how Penrhynside has come to be included in the Urban area, without recognition of its village character,and as a resident of Penrhyn

Summary While we support the general nature of this policy and especially the reference to the LBAP we think that this policy should be further strenghtened by: 

a) reference, in point 2, to the need to consider alternative options for a development in relation to protected species/habitats

Summary Sadly,I cannot claim that the farmland at Gloddaeth Isaf forms a habitat for rare or protected species.Due to modern farming practices there are no longer 

lapwings or skylarks nesting, and I havent seen the flocks of curlews that used to descend to pick over the fields for several years. However - the hedgerows 

forming the boundaries of the fields are rich in habitat for small birds,field mice,voles, etc. The hedgerows form pathways for small creatures moving to and 

from the woodland. The hedges themselves are species rich, with hawthorne, blackthorn, honeysuckle, dog rose, ivy, bramble and more. 

Change Sought: Please protect the hedgerows which form the boundaries of the two fields at Gloddaeth Isaf marked for development. It would be a tragedy if they were torn 

up to make road access or replaced with panel fencing. Please take these fields out of your Plan for development and redesignate them as green wedge.

Summary The owner of the site at Esgyryn fully supports the principle of the above policy and seeks to advise that the vision for the proposed mixed use scheme has 

the provision of sustainable design principles at its core (see appendix 5). The owner envisages the provision of a development which can demonstrate best 

practice in energy efficiency and sustainability standards and will meet the requirements of the policy proposed. In fact, where possible the owner would wish 

to exceed these requirements, if the provision of development proves viable and the split of uses more sustainable. 


1 Object 

Summary CPRW is concerned that the important and controversial planning issue of renewable energy generation is merely covered as part of a very broad policy on 

Energy Efficiency and Renewable Technologies in New Development (NTE/6). Not only does the policy mix together the incorporation of energy efficiency 

measures in new development and the separate issue of large scale energy generation, but the text relating to wind energy generation is contained in text 

under the heading of Code for Sustainable Homes and BREEAM (para 4.219). 

Consequently it is considered that there should be a separate policy dealing with renewable energy generation. 

Change Sought: The text supporting the policy indicates that stand alone wind farms will be supported if they are "sympathetic to landscape character and local amenity." 

Such wording departs from the clear, current, Assembly guidance of directing other than community based wind developments to within the SSA. As written i 

would appear to "open the flood gates" to the optimistic and inappropriate submission of numerous applications throughout the authority's rural area.

Summary Ministers at the WAG have made it clear that there should be a level playing field across Wales in respect of progress made toward carbon reduction and 

renewable energy generation in new developments. In other words national government does not want LPAs to "jump the gun" which appears to be the case 

here. 

Change Sought: The LDP here is anticipating rather than following national policy and should be deleted or revised accordingly. 


Summary The requirements of para c should not be limited to developments of 10 houses or more 

Change Sought: Delete reference to developments of 10 houses or more in para c to make this obligation apply to all new housing developments, however small

Summary Paragraph 4.218 refers to figures in TAN 8 that are not absolute and therefore developers should not have to demonstrate a need to meet generating 

capacity. These targets should not be treated as a maximum ceiling. Advantages should be taken which may arise from new technologies which could go 

over 140Mw. 

Change Sought: change this paragraph so developers do not have to demonstate a need.

Summary The renewable energy requirements are above national policy and are phased, requiring Code level 6 by the end of 2022. This may potentially cause 

developer flight as the cost of developing houses in Conwy would be higher than in Denbighshire (it is proposed that national standards are used in 

Denbighshire), particularly in combination with the affordable housing policy. 

Change Sought: Review energy requirements and proposed standards and phasing.

Summary The LDP's Wind Energy Strategic Search Area (SSA) does not appear to reflect the area set out in TAN 8 (and I would guess it is based on a 2010 target - 

rather than 2022 which is the end date of the LDP). There is no reference to the capacity of the SSA or how many wind farms they envisage. Linked to the 

above point, there is no reference to wind energy targets (either Governmental 2010 / 2020 targets, TAN 8 targets or LDP specific targets).

Summary Paragraph 4.258 contradcts itself insofar as it contains an aknowledgement that there may be, in certain circumstances, a need to allocate for mineral 

extraction and then states that there are no circusmstances in which I could envisage granting planning permission. 

"unless there are specific technical or environmental circumstances that would justify an allocation. The Council considers that there are no circumstances 

that would justify an allocation in the Plan Area."

and changing circumstances over the Plan's life.

Summary - There is no buffer zone around the landfill site (former quarry). 

- Previously land filled and we suspect quarry bored holes. 

- Peulwys is part of Llysfaen Village and therefore the allocation for Ty Mawr housing ought to be included in the total for Llysfaen. 


- We believe that Berth y Glyd is a viable site because it is an extension of the Peulwys estate and runs adjacent to Highlands Road which is the bus route 

from Old Colwyn. 

- There is some controversy and ambiguity re the status of the village - we believe it is a Tier 2 village 

We want a buffer zone included in the LDP as it was an omission from the consultation draft of the LDP and needs adding - minimum of 250 metres has been 

recommended by the Environment Agency. 

There are, however, in our opinion, several other more suitable sites within Llysfaen which we would like to submit as alternatives:- 

- Land opposite proposed Berth y Glyd site of Highlands Road 

- Land next to Llysfaen Village Hall (opposite the Post Office) 

- Land two doors down from the Church itself (Pentregwyddal Road)

90 residential units to secure the viability of the entire development, yet they have proposed that the residential element be provided after the employment 

development is completed, this is clearly a nonsense. 

Change Sought: The correct approach would be to phase the employment and residential allocations concurrently, which would be sustainable and viable. In any event there is 

a concern that the Council have over stated the need for employment land and understated the requirement for residential land. As such, increasing the

Summary Delivery Constraints: Table 12 (Page 173 &174) 

Of the 5 year supply that is presently committed for development, 19.7% is affected by flood risk 

The committed and proposed sites in Abergele, Towyn and Kinmel Bay, must be subject to in depth scrutiny at the public enquiry in the light of any 

restrictions or conditions that the Environment Agency (Wales) may impose. 

If new development is not possible in Kinmel Bay and Towyn alternative sites must be considered for development within the Plan area. 

Change Sought: Reconsider LDP housing sites as a result of Environment Agency advice on flood risk as appropriate.

Summary The windfall allowance is too high as past completions on windfalls have been skewed upwards because there has not been a 5 year supply of housing land 

based on up to date adopted allocations in development plans and associated planning permissions. In addition many of the sites allocated have overoptimistic 

site capacities. 

Change Sought: - Glyn Farm Colwyn Bay - which because of substantial areas of (i) woodland (ii) steep slopes and rocky outcrops and (iii)on-site open space cannot deliver 

144 dwellings - a figure of 70-80 units would be a more realistic figure 

- Bryn Rodyn Dolwen Road - the site area is only 3 acres - not 3 ha - and site capacity is nearer 25 than 75 

- Sites in Conwy within the Conwy Castle buffer where Cadw have a no development zone and so these allocations need deleting. 

The Plan needs to change by making further new allocations following a further assessment of the housing need requirement and associated housing land 

requirement.

Summary The Council would also appear to be inconsistent in their approach to sites which are privately owned to those in which the Council own or have an interest. In 

Table 13 reference is made to several council owned sites which vary from 50% affordable housing through to 100% affordable housing. Ownership of land is 

not normally a material planning consideration and there is a concern that the criterion for evaluating Council owned land is different to that applied to privately 

owned land; the justification being that the Council will incorporate a greater amount of affordable housing. 

Change Sought: There is a concern that this distorts the approach to site selection and requires special and precise justification.

Summary In the first instance, this Table is unsound because it does not appear that the figures add up correctly (Test CE2?). The addition of each of the sub-totals, 

plus the committed sites, windfall allowances and completions total 6954 and not 7026 as indicated. 

Change Sought: It is proposed that a site at the junction of Pentywyn Road and Marl lane in Llandudno Junction be allocated as part of this process; the Proposals Map should 

be amended accordingly. It is noted that the site was in fact identified for residential development in the Draft Llandudno Junction Masterplan prepared on

Change Sought: Correct table 13 


Summary Redrow object to the Housing Delivery and Phasing Plan (Table 13) for the following reasons: 

1.Land on the south east side of Abergele should be included in the list of allocated sites (refer to attached plan). For justification - see full submission. 

2.The Table does not specify site areas, only densities, which makes it impossible to properly assess whether the claimed capacities of allocated sites are 

realistic having regard to site constraints and open space requirements. 

3.The Table includes a figure for existing commitments of 3340 which assumes all sites which currently have planning permission will be built out during the 

plan period. Clearly that is unlikely to be the case. 

4.The Table includes a grossly exaggerated windfall allowance. Hence, larger sites which would ordinarily have been allocated for housing have actually 

come forward as windfall sites. The LDP will address this issue and therefore the past contribution of windfall sites will not be a realistic guide to future 

performance. 

Change Sought: Include land at Abergele south east within the plan for mixed use development. Additionally, all sites need to be re-assessed to determine whether they are 

likely to deliver completions. A 10% slippage factor should then be applied to the remaining supply to compensate for unknown constraints which might 

prevent a site coming forward (e.g. ownership constraints, infrastructure problems, viability etc). In addition, the figure of 3340 appears to comprise many 

small sites (

Summary The objectives and principles laid out within the Vision are supported: albeit it is considered that greater consideration should be given to more efficient use of 

proposed mixed use sites, such as the site as Esgyryn, for additional residential development to meet the needs of a younger population. The site can offer 

high quality design and energy efficiency in a sustainable location and within one of the key identified urban settlements. Failure to best use such sites for 

development is deemed to be unsound and unsustainable. 

Change Sought: Greater consideration should be given to more efficient use of proposed mixed use sites, such as the site as Esgyryn, for additional residential development 

to meet the needs of a younger population.

Summary Paragraph states "The housing needs of the area will be better met". We believe the vision should clearly state that the housing needs will be met in their 

entirety. The phrase "better met" does not give any clarity in terms of how the housing needs and requirements of the County will be dealt with. 

We believe it is inappropriate for the LDP Vision to make such an ambiguous reference to how the housing needs are requirements of the area will be dealt 

with, particularly given the important contribution housing makes to the economy and social fabric of society.

Summary As laid out within this submission the above principle is supported. However, in order for the objectives of the vision and the above aspirations to be most 

effective the Council need to ensure that sites within and adjacent to these major settlements are most effectively, efficiently and sustainable used. This 

includes ensuring developments are placed in areas where constraints such as flood risk and accessibility are minimised or irrelevant. The site at Esgyryn 

achieves all of these objectives and with the provision of a greater area of housing will demonstrate best practice in planning terms.

Summary The Plan should make provision for higher levels of growth than those set out at paragraph 3.4.2. 


The Plan provides for a contingecy level of up to 7900 housing units but is totally uncleear in what circumstances the additional dwellings will be released and 

how this will happen. 

The levels of employment provision equate to a 'basic' need for 383 jobs per year and a contingecy level of 469 jobs per year. 

The housing requirements should be based upon a longer term view of net migration trends. We would urge a slightly higher level of provision of between 

8,000 to 11,000 new housing units. 

We consider that the LPD should provide for 6090 new jobs with a contingency level of 7840 jobs over the 14 year period.

Summary Paragraph 3.6.1 of the LDP states that "the Council will insist that the housing is of the right type, size and tenure and is built to a high quality of design which 

incorporates renewable energy technologies." 

We believe this paragraph is clearly not based on robust and credible evidence, as there is absolutely no evidence to suggest that strategy is cost effective 

and deliverable. It also again requires developments to incorporate renewable energy, which is contrary to National Guidance. As such, this paragraph 

contravenes Soundness Tests CE2 and C2.

such as that proposed at Esgyryn, in reality the delivery is not supported within the document itself. Over provision and too much focus on employment land a

Summary We consider that Diagram 3 (which it is recognised canot be definitive) is potentially misleading as it could be considered to indicate that the urban area of 

Llandudno Junction is confined to the area north of the A55. Such an interpretation would exclude the large area of existing development to the south of the 

A55 around the junction of Conway Road and the B5381. This development forms part of the built-up area of Llandudno Junction and includes a hotel, public 

house, a petrol filling station and existing houses together with a substantial area with planning permission for offices.

Strategy Area.

Summary It is noted that the Council are proposing to place 70% of employment land provision for Llandudno, Llandudno Junction and Conwy on the site at Esgyryn. 

This is deemed to be unsound and unsustainable. Whilst it is acknowledged that the site is well placed to secure the provision of a reasonable proportion of 

employment land it is considered that the split of uses as outlined on the masterplan included at Appendix 2 demonstrates a better use of the site than the 

Council proposes. 

Change Sought: Some of the employment provision proposed at Esgyryn should be re-allocated within some of the other key settlements to ensure the provision of 

employment land throughout the Borough and reduce the need for people to travel some distance for work.

Summary This LDP fails the tests of soundness CE1 and CE2 for the Abergele area. It is not realistic, the allocations are excessive, and the plans are incoherent and at 

times misleading. The Traffic Study states that a bypass would be required to relieve the extra traffic caused and that the town centre would remain 

congested, but there is no bypass detailed on the Proposals Map 4. There is no robust and detailed evidence of appropriate consultation with local NHS 

Bodies, Schools and the effect of Denbighshire's LDP at Bodelwyddan on the latter. 

Change Sought: A further period of consultation and up-to-date Traffic Study is required to clarify how 'realistic' these proposals are when taking into account whether or not a 

bypass is proposed, and how the high throughput Eye Clinic at Abergele Hospital will effect traffic. Detailed and published consultation with 'local' NHS Bodies 

and Schools is required, along with evidence about what the effect of Denbighshire's LDP plan for Bodelwyddan would be on the latter. The appropriateness 

of allocating housing on the Business Park needs further analysis, in light of the fact that there are further planning applications for major employment e.g. 

acute brain injury/dementia unit, and the fact that this area of land had always been earmarked for quality business ventures. The Welsh Language (Wales) 

Measure 2011 needs to be taken into account in the context of the Abergele LDP proposals, in the context of a proposed detailed consultation with 'local' 

schools and the evidence presented in the last 3 Census Reports for the town. 

19166 Redrow (Ms Victoria Murray) [4513] 

Summary The plan makes insufficient provision for housing land allcoations in the Abergele, Towyn and Kinmel Bay area. 

Abergele should make a significantly bigger housing contribution to the Plan. 

Additioanl housing land allocations are justified in Abergele as it is a key settlement with good access to public transport which link the area to the major

I am also concerned about the level of traffic this will bring to the area. This will not necessarily increase the benefits to local businesses. There's no parking

a safe cycling access network of routes should be produced as soon as possible to link schools, shops, beaches and other major amenities, to residential

Summary We wish to offer support to the level of priority afforded to Colwyn Bay as a location for future development within Policy DP/2. However in doing so we wish 

to draw attention to the Site at Raynes Quarry which is located immediately adjacent to the Colwyn Bay settlement boundary. Our client considers this site to 

represent a suitable, achieveable and deliverable housing location. 

We wish to advocate the amendment of the eastern boundary of the defined Colwyn Bay settlement Boundary to include for the provision of the Raynes 

Quarry site for housing development.

Summary Castell Developments supports the overarching strategic approach of the Plan set out in the Policy. 

It supports the identification of Abergele/Pensarn within the 'urban area' 

It supports the Plan's approach of concentrating the majority of new development within or on the fringe of the identified urban areas, including 'approximately 

85% of new housing'.

Summary It is noted that this policy once again promotes the provision of 90% of new development within the main urban areas. As laid out previously this sustainable 

approach to development is supported as long as it demonstrates the most effective and efficient use of sites allocated for development, and that the 

calculations of development split between the areas is clarified/corrected as appropriate.

Summary Housing Distribution - It is unclear what factors have influenced the relative levels of growth and the specific housing provision proposed for each of the subareas 

and specific settlements. 

The background papers provide information regarding the services and facilities linked to the towns/villages and an explanation as to why and where they 

appear in the hierarchy. 

There is little indication of the anticipated direction of travel from the current spatial position nor of how the impact of existing commitments have been 

considered in terms of the possible need to adjust allocations to deliver the desired spatial distribution of development indicated. 

Change Sought: Whilst we do not in principle disagree with the proportionate split between the urban and rural housing provision, the background papers would benefit from 

including more of the rationale behind the proposed development balance between the urban and rural areas and the spatial distribution of development 

between the individual urban sub-areas or settlements. 

Background paper 37 covers broad growth distribution options but it could usefully cover the basis for the more detailed numerical spatial distribution e.g. the 

justification for the scale of the allocation in Llysfaen, a rural tier 1 village (255 dwellings not including the additional 70 dwellings for the other 2 allocations in 

the village). 

The figures and percentages referred to in Chapters 3 & 4, the tables and background papers should be verified and clarified as there are some differences 

throughout the plan e.g. table 4 does not match the figures included in HOU/1 while figures from the background papers differ from figures included in the 

plan with no explanation for the differences. These figures could be shown in a composite summary table to increase transparency and background papers 

could include explanations for any differences between background documents and the plan. 


Summary Urban/Rural conflict - Policy DP/2 

Is Abergele in the urban or rural area? Attached are two reports which suggest a conflict. 

In each LDP edition, there have been significant changes in policy, particularly in relation to the proposed housing allocation. Far more could have been done 

to consult with community of Abergele prior to publication of this 2011 Edition. This would appear to be in direct conflict with the aims and principles published 

in the LDP Delivery agreement. This would also appear to conflict with Policy DP/8 Master Plans and Community Appraisals. 

Change Sought: The LDP should be prepared in accordance with the LDP Delivery Agreement, the CIS and other policies within the Plan.

Summary We do not consider it wise to include Towyn and Kinmel Bay under the list of towns in the Urban Areas section of this policy. It is also very misleading to read 

in the next paragraph that "most new development will take place within, and on the fringe of, these urban areas" because, as we have pointed out above, 

very little development will actually be permitted in this area. 

Change Sought: Including Towyn and Kinmel Bay in this policy may be construed as conflicting with policy DP/6 and other references within your plan which cite the problem 

with flood risk in this area giving rise to limited development, in which case the plan would be found to be unsound by failing soundness test CE1.

Summary We object to the exclusion of Brynaneuadd Hospital from the settlement boundary for Llanfairfechan. 

Including the site within the settlement boundary is an important change for two reasons: 


1. Part of the hospital will become vacant during the plan period, in order for new uses and to avoid derelication it is important that the appropriate policy 

framework is in place to guide alternative proposals. 

2. Inclusion in the settlement should be seen as assisting in enabling the Hospital to develop in an appropriate fashion in order that it can continue to meet the 

needs of the Community. 

The settlement boundary should be redrawn to inlcude the Hospital as indicated on the attached plan.

as C2 floodplain. 

The background papers would benefit from a fact check and some minor editing to ensure that the information is up to date as well as clarifying how sites 

which fall within the C2 areas can be developed in line with national policy, i.e. it could be that flood risk issues relate to part of a site not being proposed for

Summary The Plan still suffers from weaknesses in the housing growth strategy adopted. Both the base level of allocations and the contingency level represent the 

minimum level of housing which would be suitable to accommodate the minimum economic growth levels which the Plan seeks to deliver. 

The evidence used to support the level of growth is not robust or credible and leaves the plan exposed to non-delivery from windfall and existing 

commitments. 

The contingency level is based on delivering the minimum level of growth required to meet population and economic growth and would not provide sufficient 

scope to accommodate under-delivery. 

Change Sought: A higher level of allocation, coupled with increased contingency allocations to accommodate a medium level of population and economic growth shold be set 

within the plan.

Summary Given that the LDP recognises there is a need for all forms and tenures of homes, in line with predicted needs, why is THE key priority to increase the supply 

of Affordable Housing for Local Need (AHLN), as described by paragraph 4.2.2.2. Surely the priority should be to increase the number of homes in general, 

and not just to increase the number of subsidised homes, for which many of the people who cannot get on the property ladder will not qualify. 

In light of the above, we do not believe the Housing Strategy is based on robust and credible evidence and is not flexible enough to cope with any change in 

circumstances. As such, the strategy contravenes Soundness Tests CE2 and CE4 and implementing the changes set out below would help to satisfy this 

soundness test. 

Change Sought: Paragraph 4.2.2.2 should read that the key priority is to increase the amount of all forms and tenures of homes and should not merely concentrate on 

affordable housing.

Summary Targets for the amount of affordable housing for purchase should also be informed by the available methods of financing such a purchase. 

People Type 

For example, sharing equity between the local authority and buyer, where appropriate, is likely to result in greater numbers of affordable homes for purchase 

being successfully sold to those in need. 

The compulsory discount on market value is used as a vendor-gifted deposit to make a mortgage easier to obtain without an overly large deposit. 

The local authority retains a stake in perpetuity in the affordable home, through a second charge, and at no cost to the public purse.

1 Object 

Summary The text recognises the need "to impose some limitation on the proportionate increase in dwelling size (in the countryside) as a result of any extension, with 

the aim of preventing a gradual reduction in the stock of smaller and medium sized dwellings in countryside areas". This approach is welcomed by CPRW. 

However, the Plan fails to include the means to achieve this, with reliance being placed on Plan Policy DP/6 - that development proposals must comply with 

national planning policy. In this instance national guidance fails to give clear guidance and consequently this needs to be found in the LDP. 

Change Sought: The inlcusion in the Plan of greater clarity on what "limits" would be acceptable would assist both developers and the LPA. The absence of such clarity is 

likely to lead to inconsistency and the abuse which this can engender.

1 Object 

Summary The text recognises that a repalcement dwelling in the countryside is likely to have a greater visual impact than the dwelling it replaces and indicates that a 

replacement dwelling "should be similar in size and height to the original structure". CPRW is in agreement with this. However the Plan gives no clear 

guidance on what is meant by similar and reliance is placed on Policy DP/6. However as there are no clear national policy or guidelines which can be used the 

Plan should give more prescriptive guidance. The absence of such clarity is likely to lead to inconsistency.

Summary The text recognises that conversions to dwellings in the countryside is acceptable as a second preferred purpose to that of an economic use. CPRW is in 

agreement with this approach. However, the Plan gives neither policy framework nor textual guidance as to what criteria need to be satisfied in order for 

appropriate forms of conversion to be achieved. Reliance is placed on Policy DP/6. However national policy or guidelines do not contain the necessary 

detailed criteria to control this type of development. The absence of such clarity is likely to lead to inconsistency and the abuse which this can engender. 

Change Sought: Guidance should be given through either a Plan policy or an SPG, preferably the former. 


1 Object 

Summary The Council should place an agricultural/rural based business on the same footing for conversion as any employment use. It is unreasonable not to do so. 

PPW and TAN 6-2010 does not seek to prevent re-use under the 'other building' test. 

Residential re-use is also not to be a 'last resort' if it provides rural housing. The council evidence base for an employment hurdle is not made out, and in any 

event it is preventing the very rural businesses requiring accommodation. The approach is entirley hostile to rural buiness and sustainability. 

Change Sought: The Council need to write a specific policy on conversions to avoid constant disputes in the matter: Paragraph 4.2.11 requires fundamental review.

Summary As per comments made in relation to Policies DP/4 and DP/5 we support the acknowledgement within the policy that provision can be reduced/negotiated

1 Object 

Summary The delivery of affordable housing remains a key Assembly Government priority, as well as being a priority issue for the local authority. Consequently, the 

Welsh Assembly Government seeks to ensure that all avenues have been explored to maximise the delivery of affordable housing, both in terms of the scale 

of overall housing provision and sites. 

Paragraph 4.2.14.1 of the plan identifies an affordable housing need of 8460 dwellings over the plan period, whilst the plan makes provision for 2200. 

A primary concern is how the heavy reliance on windfall housing sites in the plan will deliver the affordable housing target. 

Change Sought: Further explanation and clarity on how commuted sums will assist delivery, as well as evidence to demonstrate the financial levels sought, would 

be beneficial. 

The plan would benefit from further clarity on how affordable housing delivery could be enhanced through the additional provision (assuming the 30% 

provision sought in policy HOU/2 is applied) of approximately 330 units from the 1100 contingency sites, particularly reflecting that affordable housing is a 

priority issue for the plan. 


1 Object 

Summary We have a number of concerns with Policy HOU/2: 

Part 1 - Specific concerns with the policy and assumptions 

The theory of Section 106 and Land Valuations 

Paragraph 2.14 - Good Practice Approach 

Relationship of the AHVA to the Policy 

Other Section 106 Costs 

Sustainable housing and the costs associated with provision. 

4.2.21 Local Connection Occupancy Cascade 

Paragraph 4.2.22.3 

Policy HOU/2 parts 3 and 4 

Section 2 

The additional requirements of development 

Exercise to determine the impact of the realities of development on viability and deliverability. 

Changes to Building Regulations 

The requirement for fire sprinklers in all new homes 

Site constraints and abnormals 

Cumulative impact of regulation and other requirements 

Change Sought: The affordable housing viability assessment should recognise that residential land will have an inherent value of its own and it is not suitable to link the value 

of residential land to the value of existing uses to artificially set what the Council believes the residential land value should be. 

The Affordable Housing Viability Assessment should be undertaken with a figure of ├é┬ú400k per acre, or ├é┬ú1m per hectare as the benchmark for 

assessing the viability of residential development. 

1 

Support 

The requirements of the Planning Obligations SPG should be given greater consideration in terms of the 'other planning obligations' figure within the AHVA, to 

ensure the ├é┬ú7,500 figure assumed is sound and robust. 

The AHVA should be redone and should include more up to date and robust figures on the costs of achieving Code for Sustainable Homes Level 4. The UK 

Zero Carbon Hub should be consulted in this respect. 

The AHVA should make an allowance for achieving the WAG's sustainable buildings target and the imminent increase to Part L of building regulations. In this 

context for Code for Sustainable Homes Level 3 plus 6 credits - the consensus from our member is that ├é┬ú8,000 per plot would represent the average 

cost. However, for the changes to Part L, the approximate costs agreed by WAG are roughly an extra ├é┬ú20,000 per plot above current build costs. This is 

explained in more detail in the next section. 

The suggestions that, the market will improve to counteract the costs of achieving improved environmental standards on developments and increasing the 

environmental standards of homes will increase the sale price are wholly unfounded and cannot be relied upon within the assessment. As such, these 

assumptions should be removed. 

Paragraph 4.2.21 should be removed 

The requirements of paragraph 4.2.22.3 should either be contained within the policy or removed 

Parts 3 and 4 of Policy HOU/2 are statements of intent and should be removed. 

In light of the evidence above, we do not believe the affordable housing Policy HOU/2 should be adopted in its current form. We believe it will have a 

detrimental impact on development viability and hence the delivery of housing in general in Conwy. The evidence base for the policy should be revisited and 

the issues within our representation above should be taken into account when undertaking the affordable housing viability assessment. The policy should then 

be re-drafted when this work has been completed. 


1 Object 

Summary We do not object to the general principle of providing 30% affordable housing in relation to housing sites where it is viable to do so (in accordance with 

National Policy). However, we do object to the suggestion that affordable housing contributions should come from all sites, whatever their size. 

Proper analsis and justification should be given for a more appropriate threshold which will not discourage development in the way that the present proposal 

will. 

Change Sought: Proper analsis and justification should be given for a more appropriate threshold for affordable housing which will not discourage development in the way that 

the present proposal will. 


Summary The housing land allocations in the Abergele, Towyn and Kinmel Bay area are insufficient to meeet the expressed need for affordable housing. 

Change Sought: Additional housing land should be allocated in this area.

4.2.24 Phasing Housing Development, Policy HOU/3 PHASING HOUSING DEVELOPMENT 

Rep No Name 

People Type 


1 Support 

Summary We support a phased approach to housing allocations. We always try to ensure that sufficient infrastructure exists for domestic developments. However, 

where such facilities may be deficient, Capital Investment under our 5 year Investment Plans usually remedy the problem. However, there may be instances 

where a developer's needs may not coincide with the timing our our planning investement. 

We support the use of Planning Condidtions which may enhance the quality of devlopment and enable proposals to go ahead which might otherwise be 

refused. Where development will create extra need it may be reasonable for developers to contribute towards the cost. 


1 Object 

Summary We object to the intention to phase the release of housing sites. Having regard to the LPA's view that the housebuilding industry cannot deliver more houses 

than it proposed within the Plan period, it does not appear that there is a need for this policy in any event. 

Change Sought: Without detailed justification the policy appears unnecesary and should be deleted leaving the housebuilding industry to bring forward sites when they judge 

market conditions enable them to do so.

4.2.25 Housing Density, Policy HOU/4 HOUSING DENSITY 

Rep No Name 

People Type 


1 Object 

Summary Whilst Planning Policy Wales emphasises that land should be used efficiently, it does not prescribe density requirements in this fasion. The Policy is inflexible 

and has no regard to circumstances where on particular sites, lower densitites may well be justified for environmental reasons. 

Change Sought: The Policy should either be amended to include appropriate flexibility or deleted entirely. 


1 Object 

Summary Policy HOU/4 attempts to stipulate minimum densities for housing development. We object to this as it would seem more appropriate for this to be dealt with 

on a site by site basis, where the individual characteristics of the site can be considered. 

Even though the policy includes reference to the fact that it will be flexible, we do not believe there is a need for such a policy, particularly as it will be 

necessary anyway on a site specific basis to establish what the most appropriate density should be. 

The policy is unnecessary and is therefore contrary to national guidance. 

Change Sought: Policy HOU/4 should be removed as it is unnecessary. 


1 Object 

Summary Policy HOU/4 seeks to stiplulate minimum densities with a threshold of 30 dwelling per hectare rising to 50 dwellings/ha. It is considered that such a range is 

unrealistic and untraditional in this area. The aplication of these figures clearly has implications for the amount of new housing allocations that are provided in 

the Plan. 

The policy by referring to a significant range in density clearly implies a substantial degree of flexibiilty which is predicted by the need to consider each site on 

its merits. If sites are to be treated on their merits then the policy is superfluous and unnecesasary. 

Change Sought: The Policy is unneccessary and therefore contrary to national planning guidance and should be deleted from the Plan.

Summary The content of this policy is noted and the re-drafted policy is considered to be more appropriate than the earlier version which was considered to be unduly 

onerous. 


1 Object 

Summary There is nothing within PPW that seeks to impose control over housetypes in this fashion and certainly not in a manner that precludes the provision of houses 

with in excess of three bedrooms. Furthermore, as a key component of household growth in Conwy relates to inmigration it is clearly illogical to provide 

housing simply in relation to the percieved needs of the local community. 

On smaller developments, requiring a mix of housetypes may actually result in a disjointed design approach to the detriment of character. 

Change Sought: In our view this Policy is unnecessary and inappropriate and should be deleted. 


1 Object 

Summary The Policy refers to a housing mix of predominantly 1, 2 and 3 bed properties. However we consider that this should be left to the needs and requirements of 

the market at any particular location. This policy is not appropriate as it sets out requirements that might not be suitable for all development sites in Conwy. 

Whilst the policy does provide a caveat to allow for deviation it is nontheless likely that the appropriate development mix for that site would be chosen anyway 

based on evidence of market neeeds and requierments. 

Change Sought: Delete Policy. 


1 Object 

Summary we believe this would be better left to the needs and requirements of the market. In addition, the policy contains a caveat to allow for a different mix of 

housing where evidence requires. this policy is unnecessary and would merely represent another level of bureaucracy to navigate. Provided the authority has 

an up-to-date LHMA, the evidence of market needs and requirements will be available for all. When housebuilders plan to develop a site, they will provide the 

most appropriate product for the market, which should correspond to the evidence of market needs and requirements. 

Change Sought: Policy HOU/5 should be removed. 

19175 Macbryde Homes Ltd [2074] 

1 Object 

Summary The Policy as currently worded is not founded on a robust and credible evidence base. It is extremely prescriptive in the mix of house types on all 


developments. To seek to identify such a prescriptive mix at this stage is unrealistic. BP6 itself acknowledges in paragraph 4.2 that the mix of housing from 

one settlement to another will vary depending on the needs of the community. 

Replace policy wording with: 

The Council will seek to secure the provision of appropriate mix of market housing and affordable housing for local need reflecting the requirements of the 

latest local housing market assessment and the needs of individual settlements.

Summary The content of this policy is noted and clarification is sought regarding the application of this policy on jointly owned sites between Government bodies and 

private landowners. It would appear unfair for such sites to be required to provide higher levels of affordable housing when such a policy would not be applied 

if the site was wholly privately owned.

Summary In our view the level of AHLN should be considered on the indiviual merits of the site based upon viability and national policy and the circumstances of each 

site. It is inappropriate to seek to impose a higher level merely beacuse the site is in a particular ownership, such an approach would distort the property 

market.

then it should be drafted in a fasion which is consistent with this circular guidance, however it is suggested that this is unncessary and instead the Policy

Summary No specific site provision has been made to address the evidence which indicates a site(s) is required. 

People Type 


The plan objectives include making provision for Gypsy & Traveller site needs. Whilst policy HU04 provides a criteria based approach to meet any 

unidentified need arising over the plan period, in accordance with Circular 30/2007 the evidence indicates that there is an outstanding existing need, and as 

such an appropriate number of site(s)/pitches should be identified in the plan. No allocation has been made to satisfy the existing need. 

The technical work necessary to determine how the existing need will be addressed should be completed, with any appropriate allocation being made through 

a Focused Change.

1 Object 

Summary We consider the Policy is unduly restrictive and does not take full account of national policy planning guidance that aims to support the provision of special 

needs housing for those in need of care. 

At present the Policy is worded in a negative manner. It states that proposals for residential care homes will only be permitted where a number of set criteria 

are met. This wording and criteria, clearly has a restictive emphasis which we feel conflicts with the national policy support afforded to such devlopment. PPW 

states that there should be a choice of housing, including speical needs. 

Change Sought: Policy does not provide sufficient flexibility to allow an equitable distribution of accommodation for people in need of care. This can be achieved through a 

simplified policy test for proposals, which focuses on accessibility and the relationship with existing settlements.

Summary Due regard has been paid to policies EMP/1 and EMP/2 and the requirement for 7.2 hectares of employment land (B1) on the site at Esgyryn. It is considered 

that the comments made throughout this submission on the level of over supply of employment land clearly lay out our objection to the level of employment 

land proposed and we would ask that due consideration be paid to the re-allocation of the land uses on site to a move appropriate mix, with additional 

residential provision in line with the plan included at Appendix 2. 

Change Sought: We would ask that due consideration be paid to the re-allocation of the land uses on Esgyryn to a move appropriate mix, with additional residential provision 

in line with the plan included at Appendix 2. 


Summary Policy EMP/1: 

Provides no flexibility if the assumptions used about job to land ratios prove to be wrong. 

Provides no flexibility if there are any deliverability problems experienced with any of the sites identified. 

Provides for no range of choice of site. 

The Council has not properly justified the proposed split for employment land provision of 80% and 20% 

Change Sought: The Plan should make provision for about 55 ha of employment land and a further 8.4 ha for contingency sites.

Summary Conwy County Borough is fortunate to contain the North Wales Theatre at Llandudno, Theatr Colwyn at Colwyn Bay and the unique Harlequin Puppet 

Theatre at Rhos on Sea. None of these valuable tourism assets are mentioned in your policies on Tourism nor in the section on Community Facilities. 

Without a policy to protect such facilities it could become difficult to retain an essential community asset particularly where land values may become higher for 

an alternative use. 

Change Sought: Strategic Policy CFS/1 Community Facilities and Services 

For clarity we suggest that the word 'cultural' is included in the opening sentence to read '.... enhance community and cultural facilities ..... and an item 

inserted specifically for leisure, entertainment and cultural facilities. There are six items for shops, one for allotments, three for open spaces and one for 

education - none for leisure. Paragraph 4.5.2.1 on the preceding page itemises leisure as a service that requires good access for sustainability. This is 

reflected in SO13 in para.4.5.1. The protection of your theatres and performance spaces is essential if future generations are to have the opportunity to 

experience the joys of drama, dance, music and opera. Theatre buildings contribute to the quality of the built environment especially in a town centre, and to 

the wider historic setting. The document should acknowledge its existing leisure offer with one line in the policy otherwise your leisure infrastructure will be 

omitted from the document. 

For clarity and greater certainty of intended outcomes and so that guidelines are clear and consistent we recommend a description for the term 'community 

facilities' in your Glossary as: community facilities provide for the health, welfare, social, educational, spiritual, recreational, leisure and cultural needs of the 

community. In this way, arts activities and theatre will be incorporated in any policy that mentions the enhancement and development of community facilities.

Summary The policy could be improved by the inclusion of a further sub-section which supports the development of high quality (4 and 5*) hotels. The clear support for 

such developments would provide confidence and clarity to prospective developers and help to diversify the year-round tourism offer in Conwy. 

Change Sought: We propose that the following sub-section is added: 

f) Support, in principle, the establishment of new or converted high quality (4 and 5*) hotels which can broaden the range of accommodation available and 

diversify the tourism offer

Summary Policy TOU/2 states that all new tourism development will be located mainly within the UDSA. However, this is an over-controlled urban location of limited 

tourism potential for new land-uses. 

Moreover, rural tourism is not being promoted under SO5/SO8. Critically for TOU/2, TOU/4 does not allow any sites for new tourism in the UDSA. Therefore, 

Policy TOU/2 is not a spatial strategy policy for tourism founded on credible evidence and is in direct conflict with other restrictive policies.

Summary Policy makes a conditional restriction on tourism development under TOU/5 subcriterion a) that it must relate to an existing tourism complex. There are few 

such complexes in rural Conwy and few that will be permitted in the Plan Period. Therefore, the restriction is un-reaslistic, anti-competitive in tourism and 

wholly out of date being taken from the CBLP. I ask for its removal and removal of criterion e) which is unrelated, as no gains can be demonstrated, in many 

cases only mitigation of tourism effects.

Summary The RDSA as described on page 67 does not define any clear area. It is ambiguous and seems to imply that the RDSA is every area outside the UDSA. The 

description refers to housing and nothing else, whereas Policy TOU/5 refers to the RDSA but without any boundary. It seems to imply that unless an area falls 

wihtin a village/hamlet it is not classed as within the RDSA. 

Criterion a) The word 'complex' is inappropriate and not applicable. Complex means 'consisting of many different and connected parts' perhaps relevant to a 

leisure complex but not a stand alone tourism facility.

Without a policy to protect such facilities it could become difficult to retain an essential community asset particularly where land values may become higher for 

an alternative use. 

Change Sought: Strategic Policy CFS/1 Community Facilities and Services 

For clarity we suggest that the word 'cultural' is included in the opening sentence to read '.... enhance community and cultural facilities ..... and an item 

inserted specifically for leisure, entertainment and cultural facilities. There are six items for shops, one for allotments, three for open spaces and one for 

education - none for leisure. Paragraph 4.5.2.1 on the preceding page itemises leisure as a service that requires good access for sustainability. This is 

reflected in SO13 in para.4.5.1. The protection of your theatres and performance spaces is essential if future generations are to have the opportunity to 

experience the joys of drama, dance, music and opera. Theatre buildings contribute to the quality of the built environment especially in a town centre, and to 

the wider historic setting. The document should acknowledge its existing leisure offer with one line in the policy otherwise your leisure infrastructure will be 

omitted from the document. 

For clarity and greater certainty of intended outcomes and so that guidelines are clear and consistent we recommend a description for the term 'community 

facilities' in your Glossary as: community facilities provide for the health, welfare, social, educational, spiritual, recreational, leisure and cultural needs of the 

community. In this way, arts activities and theatre will be incorporated in any policy that mentions the enhancement and development of community facilities.

Summary The Council's proposed approach to the retail strategy for Llandudno is out-of-date, does not respond to changing pressures and is not pro-active. It therefore 

does not accord with PPW. In particular the extent of the Primary Shopping Area defined on the Proposals Map through Policy CFS/3 is unsound as it does 

not acknowledge the significant contribution that Parc Llandudno makes towards the vitality and viability of the Sub-Regional Centre. 

Change Sought: The Council should support the role and function of Parc Llandudno in anchoring the Sub-Regional Shopping Centre. Accordingly, Parc Llandudno should be 

designated within the Primary Shopping Area. As paragraph 4.5.6.1 acknowledges, legal agreements are in place that offer the Council control over the scale 

and use, therefore designation within the Primary Shopping Area will not allow the floorspace to be sub-divided to form small shops. 

As a result of the proposed changes, appropriate revisions will be required to Policy CFS/1d and CFS/5 to delete reference to Parc Llandudno as a retail park

Summary We have serious reservations regarding the robustness of the Scott Wilson retail Study, upon which the findings of the LDP are based. We question the 

soundness of the revised Plan because its retail strategy in relation to Retail Parks, and in particular the Mostyn Champneys Retail Park, is predicated on outof-date 

sources of information. In order to make reasonable assumptions on shopping patterns, ascertain the relative health of existing shopping centres and 

quantify relevant retail floorspace figures, an assessment drawing upon more up-to-date information is essential. 

Change Sought: An immediate up-date of the SWL Retail Study and 

CFS/5 be amended to read as follows: 

Mostyn Champneys Retail Park and Parch Llandudno Retail Park, as shown on the Proposals map, will be safeguarded to retain their essentially large format 

character to complement the historic Primary Shopping Area of Llandudno. They will be safeguarded for essentially large format stores selling a range of 

retail goods.

Summary Mostyn Champneys Retail Park and Parc Llandudno are situated on the edge of Llandudno town centre and consist of principally large format retail stores. 

Whilst, historically, retail policy has sought to distinguish the two retail parks in terms of the sale of permitted goods, such an approach is no longer 

considered justified taking into account their very similar locational characteristics and functional linkage with the nearby historic town centre, together with the 

level of available surplus comparison goods expenditure. 

Change Sought: CFS/5 be amended to read as follows: 

Mostyn Champneys Retail Park and Parch Llandudno Retail Park, as shown on the Proposals map, will be safeguarded to retain their essentially large format

Summary Sport Wales welcomes the requirement that all new housing developments of 30 or more dwellings include a financial contribution to off-site outdoor sports 

space and for developments of 200 or more dwellings to include on-site outdoor sport provision. 

However - the Plan has adopted the TAN 16 referenced Fields in Trust's recommendations on outdoor playing space but there has been an error. While 

Sport Wales welcomes the higher 3.6 hectares of open space per 1000 of the population, the figure should be 2.4 hectares per 1000 population. The 1.2 

hectares playing pitch component is part of, not additional to, the 1.6 hectares for outdoor sport. This error is repeated in the Planning Obligations SPG. 

22382 Mrs Searl [5170] 

1 Support 

Summary Due regard was paid to the requirements of this policy in the formulation of the revised masterplan included at Appendix 2. The plan has ensured the 

provision of on-site open space which includes playing fields and general open amenity space around the site, some of which has been centred around the 

attenuation ponds. 


Summary There is a lack of local justification for the open space requirement in the plan which is higher than set out in TAN 16. 


Although the plan text at 4.5.10.4/6 suggests national open space standards rather than a justified local variation are to be used in the plan area, Policy 

CFS/11 (1) does not accord with the national guidance (TAN16, paragraphs 2.10 & 2.11 and Annex C) on open space requirements which equate to 1.6 

hectares for all outdoor sport and 0.8 hectares of children's playing space per 1000 population (i.e. 2.4 hectares in total). 

If national standards are to be used the policy CFS/11 (1) requires amending to align with national policy and any implications for increasing dwelling yields 

and potential benefits for improved plan flexibility and affordable viability to be identified. 


1 Object 

Summary It makes no sense to be required to provide open space which results in the provision of facilities which are of no practical use; this is particularly the case in 

relation to playing pitches and outdoor sport provision where it is only in relation to very large developments that on-site provision results in a facility of a 

sufficient size to result in a useable facility. The LPA will be aware that this issue was addressed relatively recently at the appeal in relation to Albini House 

with the Inspector agreeing that sports provision should be off-site for the above reasons. 

Change Sought: The Policy should be amended so that, whilst children's play provision and amenity space should generally be provided on-site, sports facilities should 

generally be provided by means of a financial contribution. 


1 Object 

Summary CCW supports the principle of the policy, but considers that as currently drafted it fails to make provision for informal recreation space, dealing only with areas 

required for formal play and sport provision, and therefore does not meet ToS C2. 

The planning system has a large role to play in integrating the links between health and well being and sport and recreation. This is recognised in PPW and 

TAN 16, which state that development plans should contain clear policies for the provision, protection and enhancement of sport, recreation and leisure 

facilities. 

Change Sought: To meet ToS C2, we therefore recommend that that the policy is amended accordingly. 


1 Object 

Summary The HBF objects to this policy requirement as we believe it does not correspond to National Guidance, it is not founded on a robust and credible evidence 

base and is not reasonably flexible enough to enable it to deal with changing circumstances. 

Change Sought: 1. Policy CFS/11 and its requirements, including the threshold, should be justified by an appropriate Open Space Assessment as required by TAN 16, or 

removed. 

2. The policy should include information to state that where it is required, the impact of its requirements on development viability will be taken into account and 

certain dispensation will be allowed where these requirements cannot be supported by land values. This will include taking into consideration all other 

planning obligations, as well as development and maintenance costs.

flood risk and there are also problems experienced here due to a high water table. After detailed discussions, it would appear that a solution can be found 

through the construction of a suitable drainage system and the use of concrete burial chambers. A trial to monitor the drainage here is planned and we

Summary I am requesting that the following areas are kept within the local development plan as rural open space areas free from development: 

1. Bodafon Fields, Llandudno 

2. Nant y Glyn Valley, Colwyn Bay 

3. Golf course and fields off Glan Y Mor Raod, main Llandudno Road and Glanwydden between Rhos on Sea and Penrhyn Bay. 

I understand there is a need to preserve these sites to protect the character of the coastal area of Conwy county and to create breaks between town

Summary We support the identification of land at Pentwyn ROad, Deganwy as a contingency site, indeed, we have proposed thta this site should be formally allocated 

for developmenet. 

However, the site seemingly continues on the Proposals Map to be identified as lying within the green wedge, this is illogical. The designation raises an 

unhelpful and unnecessary conflict between policies when development on the stie comes to be consdiered in the future. 

Change Sought: The designated contingency site at Pentwyn Road, Deganwy does not need to be in the Green Wedge and so the designation should be removed.

Summary The Green Wedge Policy is entirely unsound, fails to take account of guidance provided within PPW and the requirement that policies be based on a robust 

and credible evidence base. Further, when the 12 hectare housing allocationon adjoining Council owned land which is proposed in the Plan is implemented, 

this would completely devalue the Green Wedge 10 designation in the Old Colwyn/Llysfaen area which is contained in the Plan. 

Change Sought: The Green Wedge designation in the Ty Mawr area should be re-assessed so as to enable the site to be included in the Plan for live/work purposes. 


1 Object 

Summary The contingency sites are identified as a separate designation on the proposals maps. However, the contingency sites are shown as being outside the 

settlement boundaries and in some cases within 'green wedge' designations which is inconsistent and confusing. 

Green wedges -Section 4.7 of Planning Policy Wales states that (paragraph 4.7.11) "local planning authorities should only maintain green wedges where they 

can demonstrate that normal planning and development control policies cannot provide the necessary protection". It is not clearly evidenced as to why this 

would not be the case for much of the land included within the designation. 

Change Sought: To reflect that the principle of development occurring during the plan period, when the need arises, is accepted - settlement boundaries should be extended 

and green wedge designations removed from these sites to facilitate delivery. It should also be made clear in the plan that there is no policy or other 

impediment to such sites being brought forward if allocated sites etc are not being delivered according to the phasing programme. 

Policy BP/12 does not indicate the degree of development pressure or the effectiveness of previous designations nor does it provide an assessment of the 

precise areas that are essential/necessary to fulfil the function of a green wedge. Green wedge designation should not overlap contingency sites.

Summary This Policy is unduly onerous for two reasons: 


It requires a Biodiversity Statement in relation to all development proposals when, self-evidently, there will be cases where sites have no biodiversity interest 

justifying detailed investigation. 

It is apparent from LDP5 that no harm to biodiversity is contemplated. There will clearly be cases where a particular development which is otherwise justified 

will inevitably harm some aspect of biodiversity, whilst acknowledging the potential for mitigation, the possibility of harm being, on balance acceptable in some 

circumstances needs to be recognised. 

The Policy needs to be amended to adopt a more balanced approach as outlined above.

Summary Especially having regard to the LPA's aspirations for on-site power generation in Policy NTE/8, there is absolutely no justification for wind turbines outside the 

SSA being restricted in the manner which parts '2' and '3' of the Policy advocate. 

Indeed, the LPA will be aware that the Council have granted themselves consent for a turbine that conflicts with this proposed guidance and another 

'conflicting' proposal has recently been granted on appeal. It is clearly National Policy to encourage wind turbine development, all applications should be 

considered on their merits and not constrained by these inappropriate and unnecessary constraints. 

Change Sought: Delete the constraints in parts '2' and '3' of the Policy. 


1 Object 

Summary There would appear to be a significant inconsistency between the policy requirements for community benefit and the text which indicates that there is no legal 

or planning requirement for a devloper to provide community benefits. 


It is our belief that it is legitiamate for the LPA to require or accept developer contributions in respect of "compensation or mitigation" and to take these into 

consideration when determining the planning application. However it is considered that benefits which are simply "sharing benefits with the local community" 

should not be taken into account in the planning application determination process. 

The Policy and text need to be rewritten to make it quite clear what developer contributions can legitimately be taken into account when a planning application 

is being determined, and those which should not be. The latter may be regarded as "sweeteners" to enlicit local support for a proposal and should not be seen 

to have any influence in the planing process. 


1 Object 

Summary The definition of large-scale wind turbine development in Criterion 1 of this policy (5MW) is different to the 25MW definition used in Technical Advice Note 8 

(TAN8): Renewable Energy (2005) and Planning Policy Wales (Edition 4, 2011). Unless clear justification is provided as to why the LDP definition of 'large 

scale' should be different to that set out in national policy, we recommend that the policy is amended to use definitions consistent to those used in national 

planning policy (to meet Test of Soundness C2). 

Change Sought: As currently drafted it is not clear how Criterion 1(e) meets the provision set out in paragraph 12.10.5 of Planning Policy Wales. We therefore recommend that 

Criterion 1(e) is amended by inserting "Where appropriate" at its start (to meet Test of Soundness C2).

Summary We welcome that your plan contains a policy requiring all developers to include Sustainable Drainage systems in their development, wherever reasonably 

practicable. It should be noted, however, that, as a result of the Flood and Water Management Act, SuDs will become a standard requirement in all new 

development, and will be approved and adopted (ie maintained) by the SuDs approval body, which will sit within the Lead Local Flood Authority, which will be 

Conwy County Borough Council in this respect. 

Change Sought: Although the relevant section of the Act has not yet commenced, it is very likely that it will have before your plan has been adopted. It should be emphasised, 

therefore, that the onus will lie with the local authority, and not with the Environment Agency, to ensure that SuDs systems will be installed and maintained for 

the lifetime of the development.

Summary While we support the general intention of paragraph 4.7.3.6 and policies CTH/1 and CTH/2 which this text supports, the paragraph contains detail which is 

contrary to national policy and suggests a flawed understanding of the setting of registered parks and gardens by the Council. 


The essential settings of registered historic parks and gardens shown on the register entry do not encompass the entire setting and do not include all the 

elements that are significant to the setting of a historic park and garden. For example, views out are often a significant feature of the design of historic parks 

and gardens. 

We suggest that the second sentence of the paragraph 4.7.3.6 should be replaced by: New development which is proposed within or affecting the setting of a 

registered historic park and garden should not harm its special interest.

Summary Weaknesses of the contingency allocation approach identified in the Sustainability Appraisal support our view that once a site is identified as a contingency 

allocation, development becomes inevitable 

Development would harm the setting of the grade I registered historic park and garden at Bodysgallen and could harm the setting of the World Heritage Site. 

It would also have landscape impacts. 

Development of this greenfield site for housing would be contrary to national planning policies. The proposed contingency allocation is not realistic and 

appropriate having regard to the alternatives. Timely plan review (now mandatory) removes the need for contingency allocations. 

Change Sought: We suggest that the second sentence of the paragraph 4.7.3.6 should be replaced by: New development which is proposed within or affecting the setting of a

Summary As presently drafted this Policy appears to impose controls on buildings identified on the local list which are equivalent to those imposed on statutorily listed 

buildings, this is clearly inappropriate because the buildings are not listed, nor will their identification necesarily arise from an informed appraisal as is usually 

the case with CADW when buildings are listed (and importantly, these buildngs are excluded from listing and, by definition are not of equivalent merit). 

Change Sought: Whilst no objection is raised to the identification of a local list, the approach to Policy needs to be much more measured, adding weight to standard 

considerations of impact on character, but falling short of treating them, effectively, as listed buildings. This Policy should be amended accordingly.

any available resources would be better used to offer constructive advice to property owners as opposed to policing a further tier of restrictions.

Summary The policy lists four instances (a-d) in which enabling development will be permitted. However, there is conflict with the 2011 CADW guidance 'Conservation 

Principles for the sustainable management of the historic environment in Wales' and its formal policy on enabling development. 

The CADW guidance establishes 7 principles (a-g) in its policy on enabling development (pages 32/33. These include the four circumstances listed in policy 

CTH/4 but additional criteria are also present - such as the balancing of public benefit against harm caused by breaching other public policies (CADW's 

criteria g). 

This current conflict will cause confusion. 

Change Sought: It is proposed that the policy and/or supporting paragraph 4.7.5.1 is amended to 

(1) make reference to the use of CADW's national guidance 

(2) to make clear whether the Council will use CADW's guidance in considering enabling development proposals, 

(3) if the Plan departs from the policy in the CADW guidance and sets its own 'tests' (as it currently does), to justify why such a departure from national 

guidance is required. 

The amendment of the policy in this manner would ensure that the Plan is sound.

Summary In preparing the LDP it is appropriate for the local authority to consider the implications of development, both in terms of scale and location, on the Welsh 

language. Utilising this approach ensures that the development proposals contained in the plan, particularly related to housing, either through specific 

allocations or growth levels for settlements confirms the principle of the development across the county. However, Policy CTH/5 (BP 33) is unclear and could 

place an additional burden on development proposals by requiring assessment of the impacts and the principle of development on an individual basis. 

Change Sought: Subject to clarification of the legal basis and the relationship to Equality Impact Assessment policy might more reasonably refer to unanticipated types of 

development requiring special assessment or to assessment needed to determine details of any mitigation rather than the principle of development. If a 

statement is necessary then it should be made clear how the results will be assessed and requirements should be proportionate to scale of an application.

Summary Castell Developments supports the Plan's promotion of a Town Centre Traffic Improvement Scheme in Abergele, recognising that it can enable the delivery of 

development, improve accessibility and reduce pressure on the surrounding road network. 


1 Object 

Summary The Plan removes the line of the by-pass from the proposals map. The LDP continues to make provision for a by-pass (initially in the form of link roads 

serving the proposed housing and employments sites) but with the intention of forming a by-pass to the south and east of the town. As stated previously there 

are no highways grounds for a by-pass but it remains the intent of the Council to secure, as a development led scheme, a by-pass to the south-east of the 

Town. The plan is silent on whether it will be wholly within its lifespan. 

Change Sought: That the proposals map be modified through the deletion of the route from the LDP.

Summary The plan lacks clarity and detail to allow satisfactory assessment of the nature and extend of the 'Town Centre Traffic Improvement Scheme'. Background 

Papers 30 and 38 make no reference to specifics and the occasional loose reference to a 'gyratory' system (which would if implemented only use existing 

residential roads). 

Change Sought: The Town Council objects to the by-pass proposed and requests that the proposal map be modified through the deletion of the route from the LDP.

Summary I object to the omission of the by-pass for Abergele. 


The current Deposit referes to improvements to the transport infrastructure, however, the infrastructure in Abergele and the surrounding area is at full 

capacity and mere improvements or alterations will have little impact. 

There are other examples where a bypass has proved to be the only method of alleviating traffic congestion. 

Reconsider including the bypass in the Deposit LDP for the benefit of all concerned.

Summary Bodelwyddan Town council passed a resolution at its meeting on 21st April 2011 to support the objections to the LDP raised by Abergele Town Council. 

Bodelwyddan Town Council are also conerned that the LDP for Conwy and LDP for Denbighshire both cite large scale building of houses and industrial units 

within a small distance of each other. 

If both these plans were to meet approval there will be a substantial strain on the infrastructure servicing both communities, the education and health services 

would be put under a considerable amount of pressure. 

Change Sought: The Town Council objects to the by-pass proposed and requests that the proposals map be modified through the deletion of the route from the LDP.

Housing site should exclude proposed parking area. Proposed car park should be allocated for transport use. 

Change Sought: Omit small area of land allocated for housing off Derwen lane opposite Ysgol Creuddyn and replace with a transport/education allocation. See attached plan.

Summary The supporting paragraph 4.8.6.2 states that the Scheme will be 'financed accordingly through developer contributions'. It is assumed that financial 

contributions will only be sought from the developers of allocations in Abergele. If that is not the case then the policy should state this and explain why other 

developments should be included. 

Secondly, the paragaph should state that other sources of funding (e.g. public funding) will be investigated to help fund the Scheme, so that implementation o 

the Scheme is not solely reliant on developer contributions. 

Change Sought: Changes sought: to paragraph 4.8.6.2: 

1. Clarify if developer contrbutions will be sought from all developments in Abergele or sought only from the allocated sites. 

2. Amend the final sentence by inserting 'and available sources of public funding' at the end. 

The amendment of the policy in this manner would ensure that the Plan is sound.

Summary We have no objection to the policies contained within this section, but would point out that you should ensure your policies comply with the Wales Waste 

Strategy as set out in "Towards Zero Waste". 

We would also point out that there is a new addition to the waste hierarchy, ie Reduce; Reuse; Preparing for Reuse; Recycling; Recovery and Disposal. The 

new category is "Preparing for Reuse". This will most probably lead to an expansion of businesses at the "Transfer" stage and these facilities are likely to be 

sited on existing industrial estates etc.

Summary In order to comply with national policy the LDP policy needs to safeguard all potential mineral resources of economic potential for the long term in accordance 

with MPPW. The LDP draft has erred in applying value judgements on the workability or current commercial interest in minerals to inform its policy and has 

given insufficient weight to the national policy requirement to safeguard potential mineral resources. 

Such safeguarding would include the currently permitted reserves and associated infrastructure mentioned in the existing policy text. 

Change Sought: Accordingly, we would like to see MWS/1 para b) amended to read "Safeguarding potential mineral resources of igneous rock, limestone and sand and 

gravel;" 

MWS/1 para d) should also be deleted.

Summary Whilst we have no objection to the policy on the grounds that there are apparently sufficient reserves for the plan period, we wish to point out that the subject 

of continued limestone extraction will need to be addressed in a subsequent review of the plan, given the contrained nature of the existing quarries and the 

long lead times needed to establish new capacity.

Summary The Company both notes and supports the identification of Raynes Quarry as a safeguarded hard rock reserve and associated buffer zone. 

People Type 


1 Object 

Summary Including Ty Mawr site in a Safeguarded Hard Rock Reserve therefore precludes its allocation for the proposed live/work development as such development 

is seen as directly or indirectly harming the long-term viability of working these reserves. It also effectively precludes any other similar land use from the area. 

The designation in this area is a narrow tonge of land between 150/200 metres wide. It is difficult to see any circumstances arising when planning permission 

would be granted for quarrying and mineral extraction. 

Utilising the hard rock reserves is completely impractical and will inevitably lead to planning blight in the area. 

Change Sought: The Safeguarded Hard Rock Reserve area designation in the Ty Mawr area should be omitted from the Proposals Map on the grounds that it is a completely 

pointless designation bearing in mind its restricted size and the type and nature of the surrounding development. 


1 Object 

Summary In view of our objections to MWS/1 we wish to object to this policy on the grounds that it does not protect all potential mineral resources as required by 

national policy. As a minimum it should safeguard all igneous rock deposits given their long term strategic importance as a source of aggregate. In addition, 

all potential limestone resources in the coastal zone should be safeguarded including those to the west. 

Change Sought: We suggest that Section 1 of the policy be amended as follows, "All potential igneous rock and limestone resources wil be safeguarded by inclusion within the 

Safeguarded Hard Rock designation as shown on the Proposals Map."

4.9.5 Quarry Buffer Zone, Policy MWS/4 QUARRY BUFFER ZONES

Summary We support this policy. 


Summary The Company both notes and supports the identification of Raynes Quarry as a safeguarded hard rock reserve and associated buffer zone. 

People Type 


1 Object 

Summary Paragraph 40 of MPPW would allow for the development of the site as it states that "within the buffer zone, there should be no new sensitive development, 

except where the site of the new developmenet in relation to the mineral operation would be located within or on the far side of an existing built up area which 

already encroaches into the buffer zone." 

The Buffer Zone designation on the Ty Mawr site area on the Proposals Map is misleading and incorrect. It clearly results form a misinterpretation of the 

definition of buffer zones set out in MPPW and MTAN1. 

Change Sought: The Raynes Quarry buffer zone should be correctly drawn in relation to the Ty Mawr site so as to exclude the site from the prohibitive designation. 


1 Object 

Summary The Penmaenmawr buffer zone around the hard rock quarry is arbitrarily drawn and is not serving any planning purpose in some locations other than to blight 

property which has reasonably beneficial use. The buffers are unlikely to have workable resources because they have gardens or allotmenets within them. 

Paragraph 4.9.5.2 accepts these issues. Policy MWS/4 and the proposals map for Penmaenmawr is in conflict with the statements in Policyi MWS/1 and 

MWS/3(a) as areas have been excluded on the Proposals Map yet other areas are included. The policy is arbitrary and unacceptable in its impact for 

adjacent residential properties. 

Change Sought: The policy and proposals map must be reviewed and reduced to avoid planning blight.

Summary This policy should include the Resource Block 9A mentioned in the Background Paper (BP29) on the grounds that national policy requires the safeguarding of 

potential mineral resources. The Draft LDP has made unwarranted assumptions about working the mineral in Block 9A in those parts of the resource that are 

not sterilised by urban development. 

The policy needs to be amended to include Block 9A outside of the urban area. 

Change Sought: The policy needs to be amended to include Block 9A outside of the urban area. 


Summary The relevant resource should be safeguarded in totality, not part. 

B/P 29 explains the approach taken in the plan to safeguarding. This does not accord with national planning policy which requires the whole resource, not just 

likely viable/workable reserves to be safeguarded. The plan should identify where these resources lie and safeguard these areas. 

Paragraph 4.9.6.1 indicates that "significant" sand and gravel resources have been safeguarded. BP 29 paragraph 4.10 indicates that the justification for not 

safeguarding one of the potential resource areas is that it is already partly developed and there are plan proposals for other sections. 

Change Sought: The rationale how and why allocations have been identified on a resource that should be safeguarded needs to be explained. 

The whole of the sand and gravel resource, excluding those areas under settlements should be safeguarded.

50%) indicating when a review would be required and would benefit from more precision. Recent LDPs have benefited from substantive discussion on 

monitoring during their examinations. The timing of monitoring periods, trigger points, ranges to ensure a simple yet effective monitoring programme would 

elaborate on the work done to date. 

The phasing provision in the plan (HOU/3, Tables 1b and 11) is not explicitly related to anticipated need across the plan period or within each sub-area and 

makes effective monitoring difficult. 

Change Sought: It would be beneficial for Conwy to review these before submission, not delaying submission, and considering how their plan could benefit from further 

reflection. One example could be how the affordable housing policy is monitored to adapt to changing economic circumstances, ensuring the financial viability 

of sites remains intact.

5.3.6 Constraints on flood risk 

Rep No Name 

People Type

Summary In paragraph 5.3.6 it is stated "On some sites, development may be allowed if mitigation methods are implemented, such as raising the ground level outside 

the flood risk zone." This statement does not make sense. Mitigation methods may include an agreement to raise ground levels of the site above flood 

levels, although if this were to be agreed as suitable mitigation, we would also require compensatory storage of excess floodwaters on site to prevent any 

increase in the flood to third parties off site. 

Change Sought: As the decision on which mitigation measures will be most appropriate can be quite complex, we would advise that this sentence should be shortened to read 

"On some sites, development may be allowed if mitigation methods are implemented".

Summary It is noted that the Council have amended their previous proposals such that the residential and employment development of the site at Esgyryn can be 

brought forward together, with development able to commence in 2012, clearly this is supported. 


However, significant concern is raised regarding the allocation of a number of sites which have significant constraints to development and question marks 

over their deliverability during the Plan period. 

Sites at risk from flooding or increasing flood risk elsewhere should be removed from the Plan. The swelling units on such sites should then be re-directed to 

other sites where constraints to development are not prohibitive.

Summary Table 11 (implementation and monitoring section) does not identify which of the contingency sites the local authority considers to be more suitable to be 

brought forward earlier than indicated should this be necessary, if for example, commitments or windfalls fail to materialise. An opportunity has been missed 

to demonstrate more clearly the degree to which the plan is flexible and would benefit from being rectified. 

The authority suggests that it would wish to develop the sties on previously developed land in the first instance, but it is not clear whether this applies to the 

listed sites in Table 11. 

Change Sought: An opportunity has been missed to demonstrate more clearly the degree to which the plan is flexible and would benefit from being rectified. 

Although the table and background paper 21 includes information on constraints, it is not clear how much of a constraint some of these are and how much 

they effect the deliverability of the sites in comparison to those not included in the LDP.

5.6.6 

Rep No Name 


Summary We object to the proposed approach to contingency sites and in particular to the specific sites indentified iin Table 14. 

People Type 

We consider that paragraph 5.6.6 does not provide an adequate mechanism to determine if and when contingency employment sites should be released. In 

particular the trigger levels for Policy EMP/1 are set too high and it is not clear what action will be triggered if these are reached. 

Change Sought: A clearer mechanism is required for release of employment contingency sites.

Summary Strategic Policy NTE/1 the Natural Environment 

We recommend that an additional monitoring aim is added to the plan as follows: 

'To contribute to the favourable conservation status of designated sites and their features'. 

CCW recommends that the following indicators are also included as part of the Monitoring Framework for Strategic policy NTE/1: 

Area of land within a designated site lost to development; 

Applications granted permission against officer or CCW advice on the harm to be caused to protected sites 

Number of biodiversity conditions implemented.
