Summary We object to the housing allocation at Bryn Castell and suggest its replacement with a new housing proposal on land to the north of Sychnant Pass Road,
Conwy. The proposed replacement housing site is in a sustainable and accessible location and reflects the scale and pattern of development in the locality. It
can be developed for housing without affecting the essential setting of the World Heritage Site and will make a valued contribution towards the provision of
housing, including affordable housing and also maintain the economic prospertity and social fabric of the town.
Change Sought: Deletion of housing allocation at Bryn Castell and its replacement with a proposed housing allocation on land to the north of Sychnant Pass Road, Conwy.
Alternatively if the corresponding objection to the low housing provision is agreed the land at Sychnant Road can be considered as an additional housing site
to allow the new dwelling requirement to be delivered on sustainable and accessible sites.

Summary site 368 is affected by a Cadw boundary. I feel site 20 Sychnant Pass Road would be more suitable.
Change Sought: add site 20 instead of 368

Summary Impact on tourism
Conwy is a World Heritage Site.
One new development has just been completed resulting in the eyesore view of washing lines facing Bryn Castell.
CADW have issued a plan of the site with their boundary line cutting across the site. This would seriously restrict any sympathetic development in this area.
- Increased traffic
- It is the junction of a main arterial road
- In winter, due to the steepness of the hill we have a safety issue with ice forming.
Change Sought: Alternative sites
I would propose the Old Marine Garage site on Conway Road, Llandudno Junction. This has many advantages; it has a wonderful view down the Conwy
River Valley which makes living there very attractive plus the site is fronted on two sides by existing housing:
- It is on a main bus route
- Walking distance to a mainline rail station
- Supermarkets (5 or 10 minutes)
- Local shops
- Post Office
- Banks
- Pubs
- Restaurants and takeaways
- Schools
- Access to A55 Trunk Road within minutes
I am informed at present the Council has earmarked this land for Industrial Development but if the need for housing is so great, it must be more beneficial to
keep housing where all the services for a vibrant community to flourish are already established.
With land at the old Hotpoint site, Industrial Parks at Llandudno Junction, Tre Marl, Mochdre and Conwy Morfa, there is enough to absorb any potential
business into existing Industrial Parks, rather than encroach onto an existing residential area.
