Caravan park bid prompts warning of flooding

A DEVELOPER'S bid to extend the holiday season at a static caravan site in Kinmel Bay is set to be refused by Conwy’s planning committee due to ongoing flood risk concerns.

- 

Mr C Holden has applied to amend a planning condition that currently prevents the occupation of 23 static caravans at 30 Gwellyn Avenue between 31 October and 1 March.

Mr Holden is seeking to shorten the closed period to just 8 January to 1 March, which would allow caravans to be used for an additional nine weeks a year.

But planning officers have recommended refusal, warning the site remains within flood-risk zones from both sea and rivers - and is consequently designated as vulnerable to flooding.
