152-HOME SCHEME WOULD STRAIN SERVICES, SAY OPPONENTS

A major housing scheme in Penrhyn Bay could be approved next week, despite 132 letters of objection from residents. Anwyl Construction is seeking permission to build 152 homes on 6.6 hectares of land off Derwen Lane, including 54 affordable units, a play area, and a new 61-space car park for Ysgol Y Creuddyn.

Paul Tyler was one of the 132 residents who wrote to Conwy Council to object to the plans. “There is no infrastructure in

place to accommodate these properties. The local doctor's surgery is not accepting new patients and are already at maximum capacity of 6,000 plus,” he said.

“It is also my understanding that both schools are not accepting new pupils as both are already at maximum capacity; where will any new children of school age be accommodated?

In their letter, Rikki Jones said: “The lane itself and area as a whole is simply not suitable. It will be carnage, and then there is the extra noise pollution.

“The estate is opposite two schools. The infrastructure is not there”.
