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<br />

and credible evidence base. Further, when the 12 hectare housing allocationon adjoining Council owned land which is proposed in the Plan is implemented,<br />

this would completely devalue the Green Wedge 10 designation in the Old Colwyn/Llysfaen area which is contained in the Plan.<br />

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.<br />

Summary The contingency sites are identified as a separate designation on the proposals maps. However, the contingency sites are shown as being outside the<br />

settlement boundaries and in some cases within 'green wedge' designations which is inconsistent and confusing.<br />

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<br />

can demonstrate that normal planning and development control policies cannot provide the necessary protection". It is not clearly evidenced as to why this<br />

would not be the case for much of the land included within the designation.<br />

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<br />

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<br />

impediment to such sites being brought forward if allocated sites etc are not being delivered according to the phasing programme.<br />

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<br />

precise areas that are essential/necessary to fulfil the function of a green wedge. Green wedge designation should not overlap contingency sites.<br />
