The Colwyn Bay Waterfront project was conceived in 2007 as a result of a strategic assessment of options for future flood and coastal erosion risk management and comprises the provision of improved coastal defence and associated waterfront regeneration, spread over three phases. Construction commenced in 2011 and to date the Phase 1 coastal defence and waterfront regeneration works, and Phase 2a waterfront regeneration works, comprising construction of a new shoreline promontory at Porth Eirias, importation of approximately 500,000m3 of sand beach recharge, sea wall improvements and the provision of improved shoreline infrastructure, have been completed at a total cost of £28.6 million. In late 2018 Welsh Government approval was given, to proceed with the detailed design of the Phase 2b beach recharge and associated works at an estimated cost of £14 million. This work is programmed for construction in 2020-21. The proposed Phase 3 works comprise raising the promenade and constructing approximately 1200 metres of linear rock revetment coastal defence between Porth Eirias and Cliff Gardens, Old Colwyn at a current estimated cost of £35 million, which includes a 30% contingency/estimate bias/risk allowance. The Phase 3 frontage comprises a near vertical masonry sea wall that dates from the early 1900s that abuts a generally sandy foreshore. The beach in front of the wall is vulnerable to erosion during storms that has required

It is important that your Local Planning Authority (LPA) uses the pre-application process to inform itself about the application and gather information that will assist in the production of a Local Impact Report (LIR), written representations, and any Statement of Common Ground (SOCG). Adopting a proactive approach at this stage is likely to reduce the demand on the Authority’s resources during the examination stage. Further guidance on this matter can be found in the Inspectorate’s Procedural Guidance document (http://gov.wales/topics/planning/developcontrol/developments-of-national- significance/guidance/?lang=en). As you may be aware, it is the Inspectorate’s responsibility to publish details of the application when it has been submitted, and to write to those who may be affected by it. In view of this it would be extremely helpful if you were able to provide a list of people you would have notified, had the application been made directly to you, as soon as possible.
