Summary I fully support the development of a diverse range of houses built to a high standard. Affordable houses are an important part of the mix. It is vital that public
spaces within new developments are of the highest standards with firm contractual agreements on their continued maintenance.

Summary RIFW support the identification of Abergele as a key settelement which should satisfy the needs of the area to deliver growth in housing and empolyment.
RIFW have idenified land in their ownership off St George Road Abergele which they are willing to bring forward for development. The land is a delivereable
site which is capable of accommodating housing as part of a sustainable mixed use development.

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.

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
employment areas in North Wales.
Change Sought: Allocate additional land in Abergele.

Summary I am extremely concerned at the quantity of "affordable" housing that you are proposing to build in Abergele. There are enough problems in Pensarn with
drugs, and the thought of this spreading into the Abergele area is extremely worrying to a parent of a teenager such as myself.
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
available in the town centre. Abergele cannot cope with this volume of additional housing.
Change Sought: Do not build the affordable housing in Abergele, build it in Kinmel Bay/Towyn instead.
