Quotes
"We are proud to be associated with this site. It is
without doubt one of the most outstanding locations on the North
Wales coast and it demands something special. That is what we
intend to deliver. We have put everything into this project
and must give special thanks to the officers and elected members of
Conwy Council in helping us along the way. We are clearly
hopeful of a positive outcome and look forward to delivering this
very exciting scheme in the near future."
John Beardsell (Planning Manager of C&M)
"This site presents a number of important town planning
challenges, and I don't think that my client or the Council could
have handled matters any more proactively or
strategically. From the outset, the Council's officers and
elected members have been clear, forthright and professional in
their advice, and their input has been a positive force in what I
expect will be a landmark development for many years to come."
Richard Gee (Director of RPS Planning)
"This is more than an opportunity to build much-needed housing -
it's a chance to create an exciting, modern landmark building on
this important and prominent headland site. We have put forward a
design concept that not only reflects the panoramic location, rock
strata and cliffs, but also the influence of the existing
building's horizontal impact. The exciting new headland building is
inspired by lighthouse architecture, conveying a sense of elegance
that is linear, well proportioned and absolutely in keeping with
its location. Its contemporary apartments combine perfectly with
the scheme's mix of dynamic modern family housing to put the site
of the former 70 Degrees Hotel back on the map."
