A CONTROVERSIAL application to build 49 new homes on a Llandudno greenspace is to be discussed again at a council planning meeting, a month after the plans were rejected.

At a meeting on March 9, Conwy County Borough Council’s Planning Committee turned down Anwyl Homes’ proposal for 49 new homes, 17 of which would have been affordable, at the corner of Bodafon Road and Nant-y-Gamar Road, Craig-y-Don.

Prior to the meeting, the committee was minded to refuse the application, unless the applicant provided further evidence to demonstrate that the proposed development would not cause significant harm to the standards of education service and environment at Ysgol y Gogarth and Llys Gogarth, to the satisfaction of the Development and Building Control Manager, within eight weeks.

The meeting’s agenda states that the council is now minded to grant the application conditional planning permission, subject to further consideration of the latest amended plans and additional information regarding noise impact.

If the noise impact and planning obligations have not been addressed to the satisfaction of the Development and Building Control Manager, though, the council is minded to refuse it.

PLANS for a development to build 49 homes on a Llandudno greenspace have been given conditional approval a month after they were initially turned down.

Anwyl Homes’ proposal is for these homes, 17 of which would be affordable, to be build at the corner of Bodafon Road and Nant-y-Gamar Road, Craig-y-Don.

Prior to today’s meeting, the committee was minded to grant the application conditional planning permission.

At a meeting today (April 20), members of the Conwy County Borough Council planning committee voted 5-2 in favour of the recommendation, with two abstentions.

This came after Anwyl provided further evidence in relation to the impact on standards of education service and environment currently enjoyed by the school, after the committee had voted 6-5 in favour of the application being rejected on March 9.

This was subject to further consideration of the latest amended plans and additional information regarding noise impact, and to meeting other planning obligations to the satisfaction of the Development and Building Control Manager within eight weeks.

Anwyl Homes submitted additional information to address this issue, including:

• A Boundary Treatment Plan.

• A response to the Equality Impact Assessment - Sections plan.

• A Noise Assessment Addendum.

Previously, calls to reject the application centred on the potential dangers to wildlife and land at Bodafon Fields, the impact it will have on congestion on the roads, and the effect it will have on Ysgol Y Gogarth.

Clogau jewellery store set to replace Conwy pharmacy as sites merge

A planning application has now been submitted to Conwy County Council's planning department to replace the chemist's existing timber shopfront on the High Street in preparation for a new Clogau jewellery store. Bodelwyddan-based Clogau Gold is set to start work pending planning permission, following the shop being vacated this month.

A spokeswoman for Rowlands said the two pharmacies would be amalgamated. “In order to best serve the local community, the two Rowlands branches in Conwy have relocated and come together on a new site on Castle Street,” she said.

“The new, larger branch is well placed to support the community and continues to offer the same breadth of services for Conwy residents.”

A company has been told it doesn't have planning permission for seven caravans on its park. Wyldecrest allowed the residential mobile homes to be sited at Bryn Gynog Park in Conwy.

But Conwy Council said they didn't have planning permission and issued an enforcement notice in January 2021. The company Wyldecrest Parks (Management) Ltd appealed to a Welsh Government planning inspector, who has now rejected its appeal and says planning permission should be refused.

The inspector Richard E Jenkins had heard the two-day appeal about the use of the land at Bryn Gynog Park off Hendre Road in Conwy in December, and gave his decision this month. The company had claimed that the land where the seven caravans were placed had been used for "amenity and recreational purposes" for the adjacent caravan park for 10 years. The number of caravans at Bryn Gynog is not restricted.

The company had claimed it was "too late" for the council to take enforcement action, but the inspector disagreed. He said there was little evidence the park owners used the land for parking, storage or recreational use apart from a "single photograph of a picnic bench".

Whatever happens as a result of the letter to the First Minister, the action of the CCBC and the Llandudno Councillors in particular is nothing short of a disgrace.
For the CCBC to say " no rules were broken"  is not an acceptable excuse.   All the elected Councillors have a moral obligation to represent their constituents and vote on issues even if the issues are controversial

Hugo one of the applications, the Mayfair hotel in deganwy Ave they have been using that since last year for the homeless this council is shocking.

[Meleri]

Hugo the fact is the Councillor who proposed that the Planning Committee go with the Officers recommendation to back the development, was from Kinmel Ward & the Seconder was a Councillor from the Cerrigydrudion area. The only Councillor from the area of the development Abstained. The Councillor from Kinmel had the audacity to say people who opposed the application were using the children who attended Ysgol Gogarth as a leverage to try to stop the application, which was an absolutely disgraceful thing to say. The turn out of Councillors for such an important meeting was abysmal & I was pleased to see 5 of the 9 Councillors who attended the meeting have lost their seats on the Council. Lets hope a new broom sweeps clean & the New Committee will have more guts to challenge the Officers, who seems to have more power than the Committee.
On another note the Councillor for Craig y Don Cllr Frank Bradfield battled tirelessly to stop this development going ahead & is not a Planning Committee member, but did speak against it at the meeting.
Due to all the controversy of this planning application it has now been Called-In to the the Welsh Ministers at Cardiff, lets hope that common sense prevails & the health & wellbeing of the children attending Ysgol Gogarth & the residential facility Llys Gogarth will be put before profits. Anwyl Construction who should hang their heads in shame proposing to build on this site & the noise impact it will bring for months if not years. This is a cherry picked prime site that will command higher prices, when other less lucrative sites lay dormant which could bring much needed cheaper affordable housing for local people.

Meleri, that was a very interesting and informative reply and puts a lot of what has been said previously into perspective.     Why do people elect to go on planning committees but when it comes to the crunch then they abstain from voting.   It just doesn't make ant sense whatsoever.
Llandudno needs a voice on these planning matters that have been imposed  on them and the Llandudno Councillors have a moral obligation to speak up when the decision has an impact on the town.
Llandudno needs Councillors like Frank Bradfield not the previous lot of nodding Donkeys.
As for Anwyl Construction and Mostyn Estates my views on them are well known and we haven't heard the last of their devious schemes

The Committee was "light" by 5 places because Political Groups had not appointed all their full allocation. Vacancies were:  Allied Independents - 1; Tories - 2; Conwy First Independents - 1 and Plaid Cymru - 1.

The damage would have been done when the site was allocated in the Development Plan.
