Policy HOU/1 Meeting The Housing Needs
Rep No Name People Type
1625 cyng William Edwards [614] 1 Object
Summary I believe that the policy on AHLN in minor villages and hamlets needs more flexibility, and also needs to be more specific in order to cater for a neglected but
vital group of people who may well find their ambitions thwarted by the yardstick used to describe affordable homes. What exactly is meant by 'affordable
homes'and 'exceptional circumstaces'. Example included in full response, attached.
Change Sought: Policy HOU/1 para 1e needs more flexibility, and to be more specific in its definitions. See attachment for a local example where an application was refused
for various reasons.

Summary (Table 5 HOU1/b)There is no equivalent Welsh word for 'Hamlet'. In my ward of Uwchaled, Llangwm is classified as a minor village, whereas Llanfihangel
Glyn Myfyr is classified as a hamlet. Both villages have a recognisable village centre with a similar number of houses therein. I see this as an anomaly which
gives Llangwm an undue advantage over Llanfihangel in terms of AHLN. Personally, I find the distinction made in English between a minor village and a
hamlet as being out of kilter with the Welsh tradition of small villages and larger villages.
Change Sought: Hamlets and minor villages should be treated as one and the same, if only because both are equally important to the culture and language, and both need to
be sustainable as opposed to being stuck in a time warp.

Summary Insufficient land has been allocated for housing within the plan area and in Llanfairfechan in particular. Ths restricts the flexibility to deliver the required
housing land and affordable housing within th eplan period in the event of allocated sites not being implemented. Llanfairfechan is capable of providing more
housing units in a sustainable manner than that shown in the proposals map and the figure given in Policy HOU/1. Use of brownfield/underutilised brownfield
employment sites should be given priority for housing in appropriate locations.
Change Sought: Allocate the Dexter products site at Llanerch Road, Llanfairfechan for housing purposes
356 Mr Leslie John Simpson [650] 1 Object
Summary The proposed housing allocation in relation to the coastal eastern part of the county is totally different to the Preferred Strategy. Since the Deposit LDP is in
effect a different document from the Preferred Strategy as it relates to housing, there should have been further consultation with the general public.
Loss of recreation grounds - Health
The proposed development of St George Road will result in the loss of public recreation grounds.
Countryside
The land to be developed south east of Abergele (off St George Road and Llanfair Road) consists of outstandingly beautiful countryside.
Change Sought: Remove housing sites from plan
1583 Mj General Christopher Last [1955]
1 Object
Summary Objection to the housing growth and spatial distribution of development in Abergele. There is no significant justification or evidence base for the housing
figure of 6,300 dwellings. Abergele has seen and absorbed significant growth over previous plans, this has resulted in large scale housing growth to the South
of the town, off Sea Road and in Pensarn.
Change Sought: Housing growth option one would be more appropriate, delivering 3750 dwellings over the plan period. With greater emphasis on bringing vacant and empty
homes back into use, reducing the demand on Greenfield land.

Drivers Jones LLP (Mr Ben Simpson) [662]
1 Object
Summary Sites 2a and 2b as shown on the map submitted by Drivers Jonas, should be included within the settlement limit of Llysfaen. This accords with policies DP/2
and HOU/1
Change Sought: Amend settlement boundary of Llysfaen to incorporate sites 2a and 2b as shown on the map submitted by Drivers Jonas.
1743 Watkin Jones Homes (Mr Goronwy Owen) [879]
1 Object
Summary The provision of land in rural areas for housing is too low at only 10% of the overall land allocation.
Change Sought: In order that existing rural business' and facilities such as schools and bus services etc are protected for the long term the percentage allowance should be
increased to 20% and conversely the percentage in urban areas should be reduced to 80%.
