Summary CCW considers that the provision in policy TOU/4 for development to accord with the Development Principles and other related policies within the Plan is also
relevant for chalet, caravan and camping Sites within the Rural Development Strategy Area. Unless a clear statement is provided at the start of the plan,
stating that the plan should be read as a whole, we recommend that Policy TOU/5 is amended to also include a provision for development to accord with the
Development Principles and other related policies within the Plan.
Change Sought: CCW considers that the provision in policy TOU/4 for development to accord with the Development Principles and other related policies within the Plan is also
relevant for chalet, caravan and camping Sites within the Rural Development Strategy Area. Unless a clear statement is provided at the start of the plan,
stating that the plan should be read as a whole, we recommend that Policy TOU/5 is amended to also include a provision for development to accord with the
Development Principles and other related policies within the Plan.

Summary The policy does not state the Council's position on proposals that involve the loss of existing sites in the Urban Development Strategy Area.
This policy vacuum creates uncertainty for the owners of existing sites and for prospective purchasers of such sites.
Change Sought: The policy should be extended to explain whether the Council will support or resist the loss or redevelopment of existing sites, including any
qualifications/criteria as appropriate.
The inclusion of this policy statement would create certainty and ensure the Plan is sound.

Summary The Policy as presently drafted does not provide an acceptable framework for caravan development. It does not distinguish between touring and static holiday
caravans and fails to provide a positive approach to secure future proposals and attain sustainability of the caravan industry.
Change Sought: This representation provides an alternative policy approach which has been accepted in the adjoining authority of Gwynedd and is acceptable to the caravan
industry. It is requested that this Policy framework is now adopted within Conwy.

Summary We would stress that both these policies must have regard to DP/1 and DP/6. Caravan and camping sites are very often situated within tidal or fluvial flood
zones and, due to their very nature, are extremely vulnerable to flood risk. We therefore would advise that having regard to the development policies should
also be stressed, either within the policy itself, or in the supporting information.
Change Sought: We would stress that both these policies must have regard to DP/1 and DP/6.
