CMG, the access to the Pier Pavilion from the pier itself is just one issue but there is another and that is the right of access for the cars that would be parked under the building.
There is no precedent for that and as the land is not owned by Waldron then he should not assume that he can have automatic access across the promenade.
If either the Freeholder of the land, namely Mostyn Estates or the CCBC who own the lease objects to access then that should be the end of the matter and the application can go no further
Out of interest, I looked it up online and found that '
The owner of a property adjoining a highway has a common law right of access to the highway,without restriction, from any part of his or her property'.
If we think about it, most properties in Llandudno have to cross CCBC owned/leased property, i.e the pavement or verge, in order to access the road from their house. As a precedent has therefore been set, it would not be realistic to imagine that it would be any different in this scenario. Anyway, as part of the Planning Process, CCBC Highways are consulted and have to give their go-ahead to any proposed access arrangements.
