A CCBC Local Development Plan document shows there are no suitable sites in Llanrwst for a Waste Transfer Station.
Below are links to two PDF documents. One is the Conwy Local Development Plan, Deposit Plan 2007-2022, background paper 21, Site deliverability assessment.
Site Deliverability Study
CCBC Disposal and Acquisition Policy
The document clearly states that only two sites in Llanrwst have be thoroughly considered for a Waste Transfer Station. These are 'Cawleys Yard' and 'East of Maes Tawel'. Both of these sites were found to be not suitable for the same reason:
‘The site is
situated in the C2 flood risk zone and is not considered suitable against the
acceptability criteria outlined in TAN 15.’
The site on Betws Road has not even been studied to see if
it is suitable, therefore no action should be taken to build a site there
without first assessing the site!
How can CCBC be in any discussions with CPG regarding building a waste transfer station on Betws Road, when there hasn't been a formal assessment of whether that site is even suitable? Given that the site on Betws Road is more liable to flooding than the above sites, due to its close location to the river, how can CCBC think they'll get planning approval for the site?
This is yet another example of CCBC trying to make decisions without all the facts. If the people of the Conwy valley can read these documents, perhaps Councillors should do the same...
