Summary We support the inclusion of
a) sub point 1(i) which supports financial contributions towards the provison of facilities, including infrastructure, that are requried as a direct result of the
development.
b) sub piont 2(g) which aims to reduce flooding
c) sub point 2(i) for the protection of ground and surface water. River abstraction and groundwater springs are a vital source, after treatement, of potable
water supplies to our domestic and industrial customers. We fully support any measure that is designed to prevent any possible derogation of water
resources.

Summary The principle of this approach is supported; however the policy should be re-drafted to support the need for development to be viable and to ensure flexibility
in developer contributions where appropriate. Failure to ensure that developer contributions ensure a balance between development aspirations, needs and
viability may well place new development and investment into Conwy at risk.
Change Sought: Re-draft the policy to support the need for developments to be viable and to ensure flexibility in developer contributions where appropriate.

Summary We object to DP/4 i. Circular 13/97 (para B14) makes clear that maintenance payments should only be sought where the facility is only of direct benefit to the
development itself; this criteria appears to conflict with the guidance.
Change Sought: The requirement should be amended to properly reflect National Guidance.

Summary 4.1.4.1 development criteria subsection 2 Planning Permission needs to be strengthened to provide additional protection for Victorian buildings - especially
those in existing conservation zones - which preserve the Victorian character of Llandudno (the key to its continued tourist success).
Community action groups e.g. The Friends of Plas Gogarth, and The Friends of West Shore, should have greater involvement in the process of identifying
and safeguarding such buildings, e.g in the compilation of a CCBC list of buildings of special historical and/or architectural significance. Such a list should
provide protection from development deemed inappropriate by the local community action groups.
Change Sought: add extra lines as follows
k) On the buildings of architectural and/or historical significance
22344
l) On the character of an area

Summary Flood risk - Confirmation is required that the latest version of the national policy DAM maps has been properly applied to the allocation of sites and
background working on site delivery.
Change Sought:
Further clarity is required to demonstrate how Policy DP/ 4 (2 g) paragraph 4.1.4.2 and DP/6 (paragraph 4.1.6.3) and Background Paper 17 'Strategic
Floodrisk Assessment' are consistent with national policy, making it clear that vulnerable development (including housing) is not appropriate in areas identified
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
housing but open space.

Summary Policy DP/6 is an unnecessary repitition of Naitonal Guidance and therefore should be removed.
Change Sought: Policy DP/6 is an unnecessary repitition of Naitonal Guidance and therefore should be removed.
