Land off Penmaenmawr Road, Llanfairfechan

This consultation is in respect of a proposed residential development located at Penmaenmawr Road, Llanfairfechan. This site currently benefits from contingency status as a housing delivery site in the current Conwy County Borough Council Local Development Plan, and is indicated within that Plan as land ‘West of Penmaen Park, Llanfairfechan’. To the north of the site is Penmaenmawr Road, and beyond that existing residential development and the A55. To the east and south is also existing residential development and to the west is agricultural land that will be retained as green space. The site covers an area of 6.48 acres (2.62 hectares), of which 3.88 acres is intended for the development of new homes, with the remaining land planned to incorporate public open space areas and to retain existing mature landscaping.

A total of 55 dwellings are proposed, ranging in size from two to four bedrooms, and all are to be either two or two-and-a-half storeys high with some over split levels. 45 of the properties are proposed to be made available for open-market sale, and the remaining 10 houses will form a provision of affordable housing, the details and tenure of which will be confirmed with Denbighshire County Council during our subsequent planning application. This affordable provision makes up 10% of the dwellings proposed, in accordance with Conwy County Borough Council policy. A series of financial contributions to provide funding for local public facilities and infrastructure will also be offered, with this and the affordable housing provision to be secured by the Council through a legal agreement.

The new homes, roads and associated landscaping proposed will be designed and constructed to a high standard and will be entirely in keeping with the context of the local area. The development will offer a well-considered and attractive place to live for future local residents.
