Llandudno cafe wants balcony seating above town's high street
Planning application submitted for the site on Mostyn Street

Diners in Llandudno could soon enjoy a slice of cake or cup of coffee on an outdoor first-floor balcony - if plans get the go-ahead. Jamilla Dickens has applied to Conwy County Council, seeking planning permission to allow her to install an external seating area at Caf? Culture at 79 Mostyn Street.

The plans for the four-storey grade-two listed building will go before Conwy?s planning committee. But Llandudno Town Council has already objected to the proposals and has written to Conwy council, insisting the plans are ?not in keeping with the street scene of the conservation area?.

A Llandudno builder's yard will be converted into a home, despite concerns about flooding. Applicant Probuild Ltd submitted an application to Conwy's planning committee, seeking to convert a builder's yard at Jubilee Passage into a home.

The matter was discussed at a previous planning committee meeting in which councillors granted the application, subject to a condition requiring "safe refuge" from flooding on the first floor. But planning officers advised that the committee should refuse planning permission, due to Natural Resources Wales' (NRW) concerns about potential flooding.

Interesting story...........

Banker who helped sell Manchester United on mission to build 1,000 homes in North Wales
Helen Pittaway played a central role in multi-billion pound deals but is now back in North Wales

A former banking high flyer who played a part in the sale of Manchester United is now on a mission to build 1,000 new homes in North Wales.

She?s now applying her skills and financial acumen as the new chair of housing association Cartrefi Conwy. It?s brought life full circle for the mother-of-two who was raised in a former council house on the Elwy estate in Rhos-on-Sea which is now run by Cartrefi. After moving there in 1979, her parents bought the house three years later.

Proposal for extra 350 homes in Conwy village as potential LDP sites announced
Fears over traffic, strain on GP services, and loss of agricultural land

Plans to build up to 350 new homes on farmland in Old Colwyn have been slammed by angry councillors and residents. Those against the proposals for Peulwys Farm say the plans will cause traffic congestion, put a strain on services such as GP surgeries and schools, and lead to the loss of agricultural land.

Conwy is currently consulting the public over its new replacement Local Development plan (RLDP), which governs what can be built and where from late 2024, including five sites set aside for significant development. The council, which is in the middle of a serious housing crisis, has also come under fire from objectors who say the ongoing public consultation is ill-thought out and lacking in information.

Alarm on North Wales coast over future use of historic quarry next to A55
Some would like it to become a green space used by climbers - but the quarry has been earmarked for solar energy and waste recycling

Worried residents near a landfill site fear smells and noise could become unbearable if new plans are green-lighted. Public meetings are expected to be packed this week as agents for Conwy Council set out future ideas for Llanddulas Quarry.

FCC is also aiming to relocate its existing waste transfer station.
