It is with the utmost frustration when reading through the opinions of "so call experts" in respect of the pavilion development, that they can get it so wrong. I refer to a request for Heritage Advice from Chambers Conservation of Chester to CCBC in which on page 2 of their submission it states:-
Scale and massing
The original building was relatively tall and of predominantly solid construction, therefore views from other listed buildings were historically blocked - The new building blocked them to a similar extent, but the raking of the roof towards the south lessens the impact.
Impact on the Waverley Hotel (27 North Parade)
Impact acknowledged but change of view to and from the building of similar magnitude to when the Pavilion was in existence.
The photograph clearly show that only one of the Windows in the Waverley Hotel was partially obscured by the Pavilion, the other 10 had a full unrestricted view down the full length of the Promenade and the impact of the proposed design is not in any way comparable with its modest predecessor.
Both statements are in a written submission to Conwy Planning department by Conservation Experts (Chambers Conservation)and I leave it up to you to decide if they are accurate or not.
There have been pages and pages of reports submitted to support the developers, the vast majority of which contain so called facts that are economical with the truth, to help him get this totally unwarranted development through planning consent.
