Part of 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 2:14 pm on 21 November 2017.
Llyr is quite right to raise this, because we've got issues in Aberconwy now as a result of your Government's policy as regards technical advice note 1, where planning officers are actually interpreting that TAN 1 has much stronger weightings than any other of the TANs. We've got applications coming forward now on land that's not even in our LDP, making an absolute mockery of Conwy council having deposited its LDP with the Welsh Government. I would ask you, First Minister, will you look at this? Because it really is impacting on our few remaining greenfield sites, and frankly, developers are looking now to be able to land bank, to the detriment of our local communities. We haven't got the health services. We haven't got the education facilities, and there aren't places in the schools. The whole thing is a fiasco, and I would ask you, as your responsibility as the First Minister, to really look at this and perhaps provide this Chamber with some ways forward that you're going to change things as regard the weightings given to TAN 1.
