Councillors reaffirm approval for Llanfairfechan car park expansion

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 05:59 · Archive

Conwy County Council has reaffirmed approval for 17 grasscrete parking spaces despite planning officers' flooding concerns.

Conwy County Council's planning committee voted to reaffirm its September decision to approve 17 grasscrete parking spaces at Llanfairfechan Car Park in the Bryn ward. The decision went against planning officers' advice, which cited unacceptable flood risk. The committee voted 11 in favour with one abstention.

The new spaces will be located to the southeast of the existing car park, running parallel with the promenade. The council introduced parking charges at the free car park in 2024 as part of wider improvements across the county, including better drainage and electric vehicle charging points. The original proposal included 18 grasscrete spaces. Work has been delayed by negotiations with Natural Resources Wales, which raised flooding concerns.
