A Carbuncle block of flats has been approved despite locals and campainers wishes!
The previous owners were denied planning for conversion into a small amount of flats, yet the council has approved this!
It will change the area and these social housing flats are always ugly.
I would like to know if the people who will move into these flats will be directly off the housing list, and how many are on the current list?
PLANS to redevelop 2 vacant Colwyn Bay houses into an block of flats were approved by Conwy County Council – despite objections from residents and councillors about the new building’s scale.
At March’s planning committee meeting at the council’s Coed Pella HQ, the development was supported, clearing the way for 23 one-bedroom affordable flats at the former Guys Cliff Care Home at 79–81 Conway Road.
The proposal, submitted by Ms Natasha Campbell, will see the early 20th-century buildings demolished and replaced with a three-storey block of flats on the corner of Conway Road and Alexandra Road.
Access will be via a driveway from Alexandra Road, with 13 car parking spaces and a bike and motorcycle area at the rear.
The meeting saw a mix of concerns and support from councillors.
Rhos-on-Sea councillor Jo Nuttall said: “This building is out of keeping with its surroundings. The houses around it are two storeys, and this proposal will stand some three and a half metres taller than its neighbours.
“We do need housing, but this is too big a building and too imposing for the area, with inadequate parking putting strain on the already busy side streets, so I cannot support this application.”
