Well, I suppose Mr Williams will need to recoup what the site cost him.  The planning consent Mr Waldron had was not personal to him and passes with the site as long is it is valid.

The first problem Adam Williams will have to get over is the problem he and his QC created when they challenged the legality of a decision made by the CCBC Planning committee.
The news about what he proposes to do with the site is disappointing though

Curiously the facebook group "The Pavilioneers - Friends of Llandudno's Pier and Pavilion" has no discussion on this issue whatsoever.

Hi Ormemac have a look on the page again I asked Davad Jones about it last night, he's answered let's just see what's happening.

I am a bit confused by the comment on that Pavilioneers page that someone's spreading this to cause trouble. I think a doc that's been lodged with the Council is a legitimate thing to wonder about. That doc on the CCBC website is also pretty clear that the scheme has seen minor design modifications to account for comments from the Design Commission for Wales and that the number of apartments has been revised down to what it was before Waldron increased them by a few. If it was just to update names on the planning permission as a formality why would you update the plans and modify them at all? Doesn't make sense.

It appears the new application dated 25/11/21 by Adam Williams is just to apply to get the planning permission into his name. Interestingly on this application the ownership Certificate is owned by Mr A Waldron. Most probably what is happening here is Adam Williams wants the permission in his name before he hands over the money to Alan Waldron.
If you read Adam's letter against the original application he was passionate that the Planning Committee did not give their permission for the development to go ahead. I really can't see him continuing with the apartments.
The modifications were carried over from the second application this is the third.

Thanks. I was looking for a post about it rather than the matter being addressed in the comments of another post. I do hope this is just administrative and not a sign of things to come.

This comment is causing excitement..............

“The basis for how I would like it to be is a similar look to the (old) Pavilion and a similar but modern-day use where it’s all indoor entertainment, bowling, restaurants, bars, all indoor stuff."

As long as it's a tasteful design and fits in with the surrounds...perfect!

THE new owner of Llandudno’s former Pavilion site believes a £15million entertainment complex could “totally change” tourism in the town.

Adam Williams, who also owns Llandudno Pier, said plans for the new development will honour the architecture of the former landmark and include a bowling alley, a range of indoor entertainment, bars and restaurants.

It is currently at an early stage and Mr Williams said there will be “no rush” to submit a planning application as he expects the development to exist for 200 years.

“The plans are not just what the people want in Llandudno, it should also be the successful answer.
“You can have a short-term money-making scheme but that’s not what the Pier is about.
“This is going to be there for generations, it is going to suit everybody and be what we need.

Plans for the development follow Adam buying the land from developer Alan Waldron for an estimated £2.8m last month.

The Pavilion site owner said the development will also be adaptable so that it can meet the demands of future changes in the tourism industry.

“We don’t intend to rush plans for this building; it needs to be there and usable for 200 years,” he said.

“We also need to get this right so that the use of the building can change as the industry changes.

“We have to make sure we construct big enough shells of a building so that we can change the internals.

“But what we’re talking about now is what the building was originally designed for.

“We would like to try and replicate in some manner the original Pavilion, or some representation of it that is recognisable.”

I wonder if the new owner will be expecting financial support for his new venture on the lines of the former Lloyd Street School and the Washington Hotel both received?

Two years on and no signs of any plans or planning applications for the Pavilion site. One could almost think that the pier owner only bought it to prevent anyone else developing the site maybe?
