Planning and Environment Decisions Wales (PEDW) inspectors ruled that the likely harm done to the River Dee and Bala Lake Special Area of Conservation (SAC) outweighed the benefits of providing a development of three and four-bedroom homes and infrastructure off Bethania Road by applicant Prospect Estates.

The appeal was lodged by agent Roger Lee Planning on behalf of Prospect Estates.
