Why doesn't Mr Williams build something there then instead of trying to stop this one?

Or is that too obvious  ???

I was surprised that he did not, maybe the 4 million for the pier was his limit.

A great idea BTR,   a very large big wheel wouldn't look out of place there.

How about the fact that Mr Williams doesn't own the Pier Pavilion or the fact that he was never offered the lease
Or is that too obvious ???

Why didn't he try and buy it? Would have been an ideal expansion of his pier business.

Wasn't there something posted on here saying that Mr Williams was offered the Pier Pavilion site but turned it down?

If that is the case then I bet he regrets not buying it now

Mr Waldron purchased an option to buy the land.
Whilst this was in force, no one else could buy the land.
Actually, no one could trace the owner of the land even if they wanted to, the ownership was buried deep in false names in offshore companies.

The Owners were and most likely still are Maurice and Donna Nixon. Information readily available from the Land Registry.

They were only mentioned for the very first time when Mr Waldron secured the option in this land.
Prior to this, the only name listed in terms of ownership was Mr David Taylor, of Worcester.
But any address listed for him turned out to be false, and further digging only took one as far as David Taylor (Worcester) Ltd, listed in the Cayman Islands I recall.

The fact is Mr Waldron was able to contact the owners and purchase the site. So, anyone else could have done the same...

It's a pity Mr Waldron didn't get a copy of the Title Deeds and read and digest them before he bought the site. It would have saved him a lot of time and money. :-}}}

I don't think that he can be short of a bob or two after selling some of those houses in Glan Conwy.

A deal will get done, in spite of public comments to the contrary, I'm sure.

The application is on the agenda for the December 13 Planning Comittee meeting, local council told me but she did say it could get postponed if the planning department hasn't got its report ready in time. I'll post when she confirms to me. It  is a public meeting and she said the more people who go the better.
