The scheme for 152 homes off Derwen Lane in Penrhyn Bay was approved

Anwyl Construction was granted planning permission to build 152 homes on 6.6 hectares of land off Derwen Lane, including 54 affordable units, a play area, and a 61-space car park for Ysgol Y Creuddyn.

The site sits next to existing housing but also borders protected ancient woodland, a special area of conservation, and historic landmarks, including Gloddaeth Hall, a Grade-I listed Building.

But many residents said the development would be overbearing, citing an excessive density of homes and noise pollution.
