Llandudno plan for nearly 30 homes in centre of seaside resort with plea over flood risk
The properties would be built on a sports pitch that's in a 'poor condition'


Plans have been proposed for nearly 30 homes in the centre of Llandudno. Grŵp Cynefin and First Choice Housing Association want to erect the properties on a sports pitch that has been left in a "poor condition".

The land is next to the Ty Hapus community building behind the giant Asda store with access off Cwm Road. The 29 new homes would be social housing for let.      Let's hope that young local people get priority

So what they are saying none of the houses that have been built in the last 80 + years shouldn’t have been built.  😤😂😂

A FORMER social club on Llandudno's West Shore was demolished today April 8, as the site makes way for new apartments.

Workers could be seen at the old West Shore Social Club building, on Bryniau Road, today as the building was knocked down.

In its place, 12 residential units (across three floors) will be built, after planning permission was secured in November.

Described as a “dilapidated” building with asbestos on site, the social club has lay empty for several years, with efforts for housing to replace the site dating back to 1998.

If approved, between May 1 and September 30, motorists would have to pay £5.50 to park for up to four hours and £7.50 for more than four hours. .............. https://www.northwalespioneer.co.uk/news/25094533.craig-y-don-group-voice-anger-proposed-parking-charges/
