Summary "A County of outstanding natural beauty, which will respect, protect and enhance its environment and heritage."
The proposed development on either side of Llanelian Road is counter to the excellent objective above. This land is indeed a beautiful, natural habitat for: the
cuckoo, the badger, the fox, the curlew, the bat and many other creatures. It is wonderful Welsh countryside and the hedges of gorse,oak,blackthorn,holly
and elder are amongst the finest on view anywhere in the world.
Change Sought: I suggest that areas either side of Llanelian Road remain greenfield because of their outstanding natural beauty and richness.

Summary Deposit Local Development Plan - Plot 355
Development - It is not true that this land has been developed - it remains farming land. It was designated Special Landscape in the 1999 Plan - what has
changed since then?
Change Sought: Remove site 355 Dolwen Road from plan
705 Mrs Helen Jones-Williams [923] 1 Object
Summary - There is a woodland area adjoining this piece of land - any housing development would totally desecrate this beautiful environment.
- The volume of traffic using the road would increase immensely and make accidents more likely to happen.
- I would like to know why a plot of land (Plot 344) was removed from the LDP at an earlier stage due to 'Highways Issues' - when Plot 335 is going ahead
even though they are both on the same stretch of road?
- This land currently is an area classed as 'rural' - which I believe means that is land that cannot be developed.
- The way in which local residents were made aware of this LDP proposal can only be described as 'underhand'.
Change Sought: I ask that Plot 335 be removed from the LDP.

Summary The allocation of the site would also be consistent with national policy as set out in Planning Policy Wales (as amended by MIPS 01/2006). We believe that
the allocation of the larger site for residential purposes would have the ability to meet a number of the aims and objectives of national policy as follows:-
To provide a greater choice for people over the type of housing and the location within which they live;
To provide an edge of settlement development with a mix of affordable and market housing which represents a rounding off of the existing settlement
boundaries;
To locate development where it is easily accessible by public transport, walking, cycling to local jobs, shops, services etc;
To assimilate development into the landscape through the use of a site which is bounded on three sites by development and particularly to the south by land
which is at a higher level;
To make an efficient use of land through the provision of a mix of housing types with an average density of over 30 dwellings per hectare.
Change Sought: That the site at Dolwen Road, Old Colwyn identified in red on the attached plan be allocated for housing development under policy HOU/1 and Table 13.
1022 Mr Huw M Owen [1058] 1 Object
Summary The land is not currently within the settlement boundary. It is not an Urban area as defined in the report.
land is in open countryside and has "Special Landscape Value" status
plots in Old Colwyn 360, 350, 346 have been excluded from the LDP because the land reaches open countryside. This has not been considered in the
assessment for this plot which clearly reaches open countryside.
The road infrastructure cannot accommodate further increases in traffic. The road is narrow at the Llanelian Rd/Dolwen Rd junction
The plot of land opposite plot 335 was rejected for inclusion due to highway issues.
Change Sought: Plot 335 should be rejected from the LDP due its distance from schools and other amenities (Note plot 350 similar distance from amenities was rejected for
this reason)

Summary As per my letters of 9th July 2004; and 29th March 2007 - I am writing to ask that allocation shown in the recently published Plan be reconsidered and
extended as per the Plan attached.
I would contend that the topography is suitable for an extended development and there is sufficient local demand. I have included the wooded areas as these
could form part of the amenity space for the development, but more critically that they could then be managed and protected more appropriately.
I trust that this will be given due consideration.
Change Sought: I am writing to ask that allocation shown in the recently published Plan be reconsidered and extended as per the Plan attached

Summary The land is not within the settlement boundary and is currently classified as rural. The land has never been previously developed and the whole area around
is "Special Landscape Value".
Public services are inadequate, with no doctor or dentist within the immediate area and only a limited bus service.
Dolwen Road is very narrow with no pavements either side and extra traffic would only increase the danger to pedestrians.
Change Sought: Remove Bryn Rodyn from the LDP

Summary Firstly, it has not been prepared in accordance with the original Delivery Agreement. Secondly, the LDP has not been produced in accordance with the Conwy
County Borough Council Community Involvement Scheme
The allocation of this site for housing development demonstrates a clear over-reliance on green-field sites and a failure to properly assess the capacity of
previously developed land in the locality.
There is no credible evidence base that the allocation of this green-field site for housing development is appropriate.
Change Sought: Remove Dolwen Road from the LDP
