The Committee was also "light" by 5 members who sent their apologies they would not be attending the meeting, making this meeting down by 10 member, that is over half the Committee. Why Planning Committee members are selected by what political party they are in is nonsense, if they are making decisions regarding planning in Conwy County, politics shouldn't come into it  &shake&

Quite right Meleri.  Trouble is that WG laws stipulate that all Committees have to be politically balanced, same applies to Licensing as well as Planning.  If the Planning Committee - even with a full complement - had refused the application against advice, they themselves would have had to draft their reasons and then a member would have to present those before the inevitable appeal.  The Appeal Inspector would in any event be guided by adopted Development Plan.

A housing development on green land next to a special school in Llandudno can move ahead after Welsh Government rejected an application to call-in the decision. Anwyl Homes were granted conditional planning permission by Conwy council in April for 49 homes on land adjacent to Ysgol y Gogarth on Nant y Gamar Road in Craig y Don.

The application had been initially rejected in March but the building firm conducted a noise assessment, which concluded that ambient sound levels would not be significant during construction work.

A former Conwy Valley village school could be transformed into a "holiday let unit" ? despite concerns from neighbours about a ?dangerous road? and land ownership issues. Applicant Richard Williams Bulkeley has applied to Conwy County Council?s planning department to convert the former Ysgol Rowen on Buckley Mill Road in Rowen.

The school has been vacant for years, and the applicant, who runs Beaumaris-based Bulkeley Estates, wants to make internal alterations to the building, demolish a short length of a retaining wall and make alterations to the former playground for off-road parking. But several neighbours are unhappy with the plans.

A developer has requested permission to allow motorhomes at a glamping site near Llandudno. Mrs Jennifer Jarvis has applied to Conwy County Council's planning department to alter conditions as part of a planning application already agreed for glamping pods at Bryn Pydew.

The site, at Tan y Bryn Farm, already has permission for eight glamping pods, the realignment of five existing touring park pitches, and the erection of a new recreation area, as well as a laundry area and shower block. There are also plans for a treatment plant with "landscaping enhancements" within the established caravan park.

A controversial Glan Conwy housing development will again come before Conwy's planning department. The 107-home development at Llanrwst Road and Top Llan Road in Glan Conwy was given planning permission back in November 2020, despite concerns at the time about drainage, affordable housing provision and highway access.

Glan Conwy residents raised traffic fears concerning Llanrwst Road (A470), leading to the developers having to satisfy Welsh Government. The approved application included plans for 32 affordable houses, public open space, landscaping, highway and pedestrian access as well as local highway and pedestrian access improvements.

But Richard Lloyd of Brenig Construction Ltd has now applied to Conwy County Council's planning department, asking for the discharge of planning conditions, relating to the homes' construction methods. Planning consent included a long list of conditions, including the requirement to provide a construction method and environmental statement, which had to be approved by the council.

Proposals are set to be put forward for an industrial development that could bring new units close to the A55.

Dare2soar Ltd are working with Cadnant Planning to develop a hybrid planning application for land to the north of Quinton Hazell Enterprise Parc, in Mochdre, Colwyn Bay

The site is currently vacant, and has previously been used as a landfill site and later as sport pitches.  [ hope they do not park heavy vehicles there]

The proposal seeks full approval for eight units totalling 1,300sqm in phase one and the outline go-ahead for a phase two - which would have 17 units totalling 4,040sqm.

A pre-applicaton consultation is currently taking place.      ref Businesslive

A SMALL glamping site could be given planning permission on the grounds of Llandudno holiday cottages.

Applicant Andrea Carri has submitted a retrospective planning application to Conwy?s planning committee for the development at Bodafon Hall on Craigside Road.

The application has been submitted for two glamping pods and yurts at semi-natural, broad-leaved woodland adjacent to the holiday cottages.

Supporting evidence from the applicant says the new camping pod is situated away from Bodafon Hall, a listed building.

It reads: ?The submitted documents show that the wooden glamping and toilet facilities are located a fair distance from Bodafon Hall.

?It is difficult to tell from the documents provided, but the impact on the listed building is likely to be minimal if it is well screened by vegetation.

?If there isn?t enough natural screening, then further screening is suggested to further mitigate the impact of the development.?

An ecology survey carried out by Clwydian Ecology on behalf of the applicant said there were no protected species living in the woodland.

While there was no evidence of badgers, bats, or reptiles, the report said there could be slow worms, common frogs, and toads nearby.

But mitigation measures could see the installation of bat and bird boxes as well as the creation of felled deadwood habitat.

The application must now be considered by Conwy?s planning committee before a decision is made.

Anyone who wants to discuss the application can contact a planning officer and call Liz Wood on 01492 575227, quoting application number 0/49845 or visit https://www.conwy.gov.uk/en/Resident/Planning-Building-Control-and-Conservation/Planning-Applications/Planning.aspx

Conwy?s planning committee will consider a controversial application this week for 15 apartments in Colwyn Bay. Mr A. Snook has applied to demolish a Victorian villa set in an elevated position to the south of Abergele Road.

The planning committee will discuss the application at a hybrid meeting at Bodlondeb on Wednesday, following planning officers recommending the application be approved. But Colwyn Bay Town Council has concerns about the plans, citing overdevelopment and traffic as their reasons for the objection.

I feel sorry for the neighbours when a planning application is granted for a development like this.   The privacy and emenities that they had previously enjoyed has gone for ever.   I noticed that in the planning regulations there is something in it that protects the privacy issues under the Human Rights issue, but no one seems to bring this matter up
Another bone of contention is "affordable Housing " and this doesn't seem to pop up when it's concerning flats.    Presumably then these flats may not be deemed affordable so who will be able to buy them, Perhaps the buyers will not be from the local area so that begs the question of infrastructure  GP's etc etc
At the moment my Doctor's surgery in Colwyn Bay has no GP's, none at all, but does employ one locum doctor so perhaps these things should be discussed at the planning stage but my confidence in the CCBC is quickly evaporating

Traffic concerns delay decision on new apartments in Colwyn Bay
Councilors have demanded a second traffic survey for the Abergele Road plans, which would see a Victorian property demolished

Homes for 'travelling showmen' given green light as councillors go against officers' advice
The eight new homes on Gors Road in Towyn will see the number of homes on the site rise from 13 to 21


CCBC Councillors are just unbelievable if they fall for a fairy tale explanation.    All I can say is that the "travelling showmen" must be on good wages in the local area.
