Summary Housing Allocation - Glan Conwy
No objection in principle, however any proposed access onto the A470 will need the approval of the Assembly. In addition, it is likely any proposed access
shall incorporate a proposal to stop up the existing Top Llan Road/A470 junction and provide a diversion using the new access.
1785 Mr John Hooson [2012]
Summary Support the plan as development will improve local facilities and support local business.

Summary This draft allocation is unrealistic for the following reasons:-
i)It follows no logical boundary on the ground (unlike the application and allocation proposal by MacBryde Homes which have firm, long term defensible
boundaries);
ii)It is on a part of the site that is particularly steep and will therefore be extremely difficult to develop in isolation from the rest of the site (see further below);
iii)It will not allow the substantial highway benefits to be provided which were put forward as part of the withdrawn application and which would follow from the
allocation of the whole site.
(see full submission for further detail).
Change Sought: That the site at Top Llan Road/Llanrwst Road shown on the plan at Appendix 1 be allocated for housing.

Summary Object to the inclusion of Gala Field due to lack of transparancy, the site had not been factored in the Sustainability Appraisal and the Conwy Local Housing
market Assessment has not been used to identify the correct level of affordable housing in the area.
Change Sought: Removal of Gala Field site from plan.

Summary Affordable housing only on Carnival Field at realistic prices if plan were to go ahead.

Summary The Top Road site in Glan Conwy designates steeply sloping land with restricted access onto the A470 trunk road for high density development but ignores
more developable adjacent land. This site could not deliver sustainable homes for life in that context nor provide an acceptable means of access.
Assessment is clearly lacking.
Change Sought: Further assessment of the site's developability is required.

Summary This allocation would be detrimental to the area's beauty and therefore the plan's tourism strategy. The site is on grade 2 agricultural/green field land and in
an area of landscape beauty. The allocation goes against the Welsh Assembly's policy to protect the Welsh Language as the dwellings would most likely be
taken by non-Welsh Speakers. There are over 20 dwellings in the village that have been on the market for 6 months so are more needed? There was a lack
of consultation with the local community. The local infrastructure would not be able to meet needs of the population increase.
Change Sought: Remove Site 270 from plan
