the flats they build on the pier pavillion site will block the noise
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

Can't wait for that to happen as it would drive a coach and horses through the planning regulations that prevent us from redeveloping our place into very expensive and desirable Apartments and I know of several others on North and South Parade who would be queuing up to convert as well, so be very careful when you bandy the Flats word about, you might get more than you bargained for. :o

A lot of so-called 'planning applications' seem to depend on who you are and how much you have argued with the council !

Isn't the old Doctors Surgery on the front by the Marlborough Hotel flats now? I wonder what the Planning Application said?

Unless you know the details, may I respectfully suggest that you refrain from making such comments !

Why is that?    It does go on as I've found out to my cost.

If there is any perceived wrongdoing by the council in refusing an application then the application can be appealed , if there is a concern regarding the granting of an application it can be referred to the local government ombudsman.
It is wrong to make remarks implying the council are in some form or another corrupt of plains vindictive.

What about 'stupid' or 'incompetent'?   Could those adjectives be used possibly?

Check out the Local Development Plan. It clearly lays out what can and can't be developed in this part of town.

I wonder what the people in Anglesey would think of that?

This is how Llandudno pier's new kiosks look after a £100,000 revamp

Kiosks have been placed back onto Llandudno Pier after a £100,000 revamp.
Owner Adam Williams took the old booths away in January because they had become rotten and needed repairs.

They have been rebuilt at the workshops at Tir Prince racetrack in Towyn over two months and a lorry and crane gently put them back into position yesterday.
Staff now face a race against time to get them ready by Easter.
Mr Williams said: “They date from the 1990s and had become rotten.
“When we lifted them the floors fell out.
“We’ve kept the roof frames but they’ve got new windows, frames and doors.”

He added: “They arrived with a crane and lorry yesterday with out cast iron pieces and now they will be put on and kitted out.

“They look fantastic. People are saying that they look clean, new and bright, and they’re so pleased some money is being spent on the pier.
“But the kiosks have to be ready for Easter. They have to start earning their money.”
Two single and two double kiosks have been brought back to the pier with one more booth yet to arrive.
 they will be used to sell food, drink and sweets from the units to customers.
Mr William also plans to sell merchandise including seagull-shaped cuddly toys to promote the Grade II listed pier.
“We all hate seagulls but they are a big part of the pier. Nobody does any toys of them.”

The present pier was built in 1877. At 2,295 feet (700m), it’s the longest in Wales and the fifth longest in England and Wales.
