Street hub advertisements at Land Outside 38-39 Mostyn Street, Llandudno

“Llandudno Conservation Area. Primary shopping area. Creuddyn and Conwy Historic Landscape. Flood Zone 3 (Sea). TAN15 Defended Zone. Listed buildings in close proximity.”

“The proposal has been assessed against the local plan policies and other material considerations including consultee advice. By virtue of its size, scale and siting, the proposed development would cause significant harm to the character and appearance of the Llandudno Conservation Area, the setting of nearby listed buildings, and the visual amenity of the locality.”

“Officers have considered the duty to improve the economic, social, environmental and cultural well-being of Wales, in accordance with the sustainable development principle, under Section 3 of the Well-being of Future Generations (Wales) Act 2015. This recommendation is in accordance with the act as the development fails to contribute towards one or more of the Welsh Ministers well-being objectives as required by Section 8 of the act.”

“The application site falls within Llandudno Conservation Area and in close proximity to listed buildings. CTH/2 states that development that affects a heritage asset shall preserve, or where appropriate, enhance the heritage asset.”

“Officers concur with the CCBC Conservation Officer. The proposed street hub structure is wider and taller than the existing phone box to be replaced and would form a prominent feature within the streetscene. The free-standing form of the structure together with internal illumination creates a large and incongruous feature in the streetscene.”

“The application has been publicised via neighbour notifications. No public representations have been received.”

“Members were supportive of the application.”
