Local Eyesores

[Hugo]

It would probably be far easier and beneficial to demolish the building because at least building regulations now are much more stringent than they were in the Victorian era.
The new building should then be safer and there would be no risk of subsidence in the future.

Spotty Dogs observation about the scaffolding is interesting and we'll have to wait and see what does happen to this hotel.    In the meantime my opinion of these developers hasn't changed and I would put them alongside  Politicians in relation to truth and honesty

I've just read an article in the NWWN by Tom Davison  and it's prominently headed in bold capital letters  " Hotel Shabbylon"  and of course it's relating to the Tudno Castle Hotel in Llandudno.

Now the article is confirming that a bid has been put forward to completely pull it down and that is what I have been saying from the start.
It will be interesting to see just how many times the buzz word "viable" will appear in Mostyn Estate's application

In the meantime another of the Estate's eyesores, namely the old Youth Centre is continuing to deteriorate rapidly.    I wonder how long it will be before that is sorted out and I doubt if CCBC will force the issue either

[Meleri]

When planning consent was given on The Old Youth Centre they were given up to 14th August 2022 to complete, otherwise they would have to reapply. It looks as if they are going to take their time on that one Hugo, with no thought of how this eyesore is affecting the neighbours.

Thanks Meleri,                          I know one forum member who won't be too happy with that as he overlooks the place

Sadly Mostyn Estates is not the only developer in the town who has no consideration for their long suffering neighbours

[Tom Davidson]

I was walking past the youth centre the other day and the door was open (it's normally padlocked shut). Read into that what you will.

[Hugo]

I hope that Mostyn Estates don't expect any squatters or the like to pay rent for the place.

Come on Tom, did you misspell your own name in that article or was it a NWWN gremlin? 

[Hugo]

I noticed it but didn't like to ask the question                 It must have been a typo error

Anwyl Construction to start work in Northop Hall in September,  has the company forgotten about the Penmorfa Hotel in Llandudno?    I wonder when they are intending to do something about that eyesore as it has been 11 years since they first had planning permission on the site

Has anyone got any update on what is going on at the old Penmorfa Hotel site?

Anwyl have too much work on their hands to be concerned, they even get given jobs that the council helps fund too.

Thanks Dave, nothing surprises me about the company or CCBC.       There must be a conflict of interest  somewhere along the line.

Dave ,the total project has cost £1,176,660 and at present it has created 14no jobs ,however CAIS have an office in Llandudno but according to their details on Google the Colwyn Bay  office is closed ,unless this new project replaces the previous one .
