What an utter mess! What the hell are they thinking? This is a total mess, it would be better to demolish it than build this Carbuncle! And more holiday flats as well! Shocking, truly shocking.
Plans to turn a former library building into an artisan food hall with a restaurant and bar area have been unveiled. The development of Conwy's Civic Hall would also include 15 rooms for apartment or holiday accommodation if planning permission is granted.
Developers Nautical Point displayed the plans at the Civic Hall as part of a public consultation on Monday. They must now apply to Conwy's planning department for a change of use for the Grade II listed building, which lies within a World Heritage Site.
Nautical Point is Conwy council's "preferred bidder", and the developers are supported by the K & C Group and Pure Homes.
A spokesman for Nautical Point said the group had been working on the project for three years. "Nautical Point has been working closely with CADW to find a sympathetic scheme for this sensitive grade-two listed site that would be suitable given the historical setting of the building in the center of Conwy," they said.
"The mixed-use scheme will help to deliver both economic and tourism benefits to the region both in terms of job creation during and post construction."
The site's future has been up in the air for years after pub chain JD Wetherspoon promised to invest £3m and create 50 jobs in the town in 2018. But Conwy's cabinet snubbed that offer, which was the only bid for the site at the time.
The developers hope to submit a planning application to Conwy's planning department once the consultation is complete. A spokeswoman for Conwy council said: "Conwy County Borough Council owns the building and has agreed to lease the building to the developer, on a long leasehold interest, once the developer has obtained planning permission."
