Local Eyesores

Developer wants to build 135 homes on edge of small North Wales village
The properties would all be classed as 'affordable'    ( take that statement with a pinch of salt after all this is Anwyl Homes talking )
The proposed development may not be local but don't forget that Anwyl Homes is responsible for the eyesore at the old Penmorfa Hotel site on the West Shore.        Planning permission was first granted there in 2006 and the firm has done nothing since.     Neither has CCBC for that matter

Why it's so hard to get affordable housing in Conwy, according to council leader


Although I have a small amount of sympathy for CCBC on planning matters and lack of Council owned land it does not seem to present a problem for developers.  Take Anwyl Construction for example,  They have made and been granted planning application on a green field site at Bodafon Farm for 49 houses with only about 17 of them being affordable.  Why didn't they insist on 100% being affordable?

Incidentally Anwyl had permission in 2006 for 25 apartments on the site of the former Penmorfa Hotel but here we are, almost 20 years down the line, and the application for building those apartments has long since expired while there seems to be no progress on the horizon

I'm sure Hugo won't mind my quoting his excellent post from around three years ago but Anwyl's behaviour on the West shore is a compelling reason why Conwy needs its own builders.

Thanks very much for your kind words Ian.       If Anwyl Homes gets the planning application passed then the Welsh name of Pentre Cythraul for the village couldn't be more appropriate

All very well singing the praises and lapping up the awards for the Colwyn Bay to Rhos on Sea promenade improvements but when those dignitaries are posing for the photos perhaps shoot from the reverse position and look at how it ends.
It's getting worse as the years wear on and if we have a rough winter who knows what might happen.

I'm amazed, I remember Adam Williams assuring us all that there was going to be a major development on the site?

But perhaps he's busy with the Pier Pavilion redevelopment...

After 4 years, you'd have thought there would have been some progress? Unless there were no plans to ever rebuild it and he just wanted to stop the proposed development on the site?
