From the FLAG Facebook page:
Last night, at an extraordinary meeting of Llandudno Town Council planning committee, Councillors voted overwhelmingly to reject the application for development of the former Pier Pavilion site and to recommend that CCBC deny planning permission.
Cllr Greg Robins, chair of the planning group, confirmed all his fellow councillors had read the plans and all of the currently submitted objections.
He also drew to attention to factual points:
Firstly that Mr Adam Williams, owner of Llandudno Pier, had confirmed to the Town Council that he has never been approached by the developer or his architects to remove his kiosks and that he does not intend to do so.
Secondly that the 77 parking spaces falls well short of CCBC requirements, 137 spaces are required for the flats under LDP 02 and that does not include spaces needed for the two proposed restaurants. It was noted 12 on road parking spaces would also be lost in the development to form an entrance.
LTC are an advisory body in this matter but we are extremely pleased that the committee agrees that the proposed building is still much too high and too great a mass – “overbearing” was the word frequently used - for the footprint of the site. The councillors also agreed that a change of use to residential from Tourism Amenity would not be welcomed or correct for this particular site.
