Construction of new homes in Colwyn Bay has moved a step closer following the acquisition of land formerly part of Rydal Penrhos School by Castle Green Homes.
The homebuilder announced plans to develop the site back in 2021 when it held a public consultation ahead of a planning application being submitted to Conwy County Council in spring 2022.
Detailed planning permission to build 63 homes on land at Rydal Penrhos Preparatory and Pre-School on Pwllycrochan Avenue in Colwyn Bay was granted in April.
As part of the redevelopment of 15 acres of land the Preparatory School science and IT building, assembly hall and associated outbuildings will be demolished.
Development director at Castle Green Homes Simon Finlay said: “Conwy has a housing land supply issue alongside increased demand for homes in areas of North Wales. The acquisition of this fantastic site has been four years in the making and will help meet local housing need. From initial offer and acceptance during the days of Covid, through legals and then into planning, it’s been quite the journey and has taken a brilliant collaborative effort by many people to make this happen. The result is that we have acquired a site that will be a most beautiful development with spectacular views across Colwyn Bay and over the Irish Sea.”
