Rhos on Sea house to be demolished for 12-flat development

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 16 Oct, 06:08 · Archive

Conwy County Council has approved outline plans to demolish a house at 34 Church Road and build a four-storey block of 12 apartments.

Conwy County Council's planning committee has approved outline proposals to demolish the existing two-storey dwelling, brick outbuilding and single garage at 34 Church Road in Rhos on Sea and replace them with a four-storey development containing 12 self-contained apartments, with four flats on each upper floor, plus a car park.

The applicants, Mr and Mrs Kelly, initially faced rejection from council officers but the decision was revised after amendments to the plans. The revised proposals included widened access and rearranged parking, addressing concerns about tree roots, tree retention and parking provision. The council will later confirm the access, layout, appearance, landscaping and scale of the development.

Councillor Chris Cater, the Penrhyn Bay representative, expressed concerns about the design. He described the proposal as 'stark' and 'a bulky building' but acknowledged that trees had been safeguarded and access had been widened. He requested that future reserved matters be brought back to the committee for further consideration, a proposal that was seconded by Councillor Trystan Lewis.
