THE new owner of Llandudno’s former Pavilion site believes a £15million entertainment complex could “totally change” tourism in the town.
Adam Williams, who also owns Llandudno Pier, said plans for the new development will honour the architecture of the former landmark and include a bowling alley, a range of indoor entertainment, bars and restaurants.
It is currently at an early stage and Mr Williams said there will be “no rush” to submit a planning application as he expects the development to exist for 200 years.
“The plans are not just what the people want in Llandudno, it should also be the successful answer.
“You can have a short-term money-making scheme but that’s not what the Pier is about.
“This is going to be there for generations, it is going to suit everybody and be what we need.
Plans for the development follow Adam buying the land from developer Alan Waldron for an estimated £2.8m last month.
The Pavilion site owner said the development will also be adaptable so that it can meet the demands of future changes in the tourism industry.
“We don’t intend to rush plans for this building; it needs to be there and usable for 200 years,” he said.
“We also need to get this right so that the use of the building can change as the industry changes.
“We have to make sure we construct big enough shells of a building so that we can change the internals.
“But what we’re talking about now is what the building was originally designed for.
“We would like to try and replicate in some manner the original Pavilion, or some representation of it that is recognisable.”
