Residents’ fears over scheme for affordable homes

FORMER council buildings in Rhos on Sea could be demolished to make way for a housing estate - amid neighbours’ highway concerns and fears of new homes overlooking existing properties.

St Asaph-based Cartrefi Conwy has applied to Conwy County Council’s planning department, seeking permission to demolish former office buildings and ancillary structures on Dinerth Road.

The Welsh Government buildings were used by Conwy County Council until staff vacated the buildings in 2018 when the authority moved to its Coed Pella offices in Colwyn Bay. The housing association is seeking to build 48 homes, footpaths, access roads, car parking, drainage, and open space.
