Why can't CCBC insist on 100%  affordable housing and for local people?      If the developer thinks that it's not viable to do that then they could always look elsewhere.

Conwy council backs proposal that could stop people from turning property into holiday let or second home
Cabinet back report on a new power on offer from the Welsh Government

Conwy?s cabinet has backed a new Welsh Government power that would give the council the ability to stop people converting homes into holiday properties. At a meeting this week, Conwy ?s cabinet discussed ?article four?, a Welsh Government direction that means homeowners would need planning permission to use a property as a second home or holiday let.

The power is intended to stop Welsh communities being reduced to holiday home villages owned by people living away by raising house prices to unobtainable levels for locals. Consequently, Conwy?s cabinet debated whether the new power should be accepted as policy to be included in the council?s next replacement local development plan.

PLANS TO convert a former chapel building in Conwy into a holiday home complex have been withdrawn, following concerns about the project.

The Grade II listed Capel Carmel building, a former Welsh Presbyterian Church, and the adjacent schoolhouse, on Chapel Street, would have become residential holiday properties.

The proposal would have seen an area of the site surrounding the buildings demolished, with sections of the buildings converted into gaming, bar, lounge and terrace deck areas, among other uses.

But the plans were met with concern by residents, with one saying the building's conversion into an AirBnb-type holiday home was "dangerous" for traffic, the local economy and housing.
