We are of course extremely disappointed with the decision taken by the National Park Committee yesterday to approve the Premier Inn Hotel on the Glasfryn Road site. The public meeting was packed with people who live and work in this community, who are opposed to this hotel and whose voice we have been representing. Local families who run local businesses, and those who live here; the very people who make up this vibrant, thriving community. We are not, as stated at the meeting by those in favour of the hotel 'living in a 1950's Disneyland....that needs to be brought into the modern world by Premier Inn!' With regard to the housing we are, and have always been, in complete support of the housing, and welcome the high level of affordable homes. But it appears that by having a high level of affordable housing on the site it gives carte-blanche for a 63-bedroom hotel - without the requirement to establish justification for such a hotel in this tiny City right in the heart of the National Park. It is quite clear that Whitbread and Premier Inn have smuggled this development in on the back of the housing scheme, and the National Park have allowed it happen. There are still options open to us, as a community and with the support of all those who love this City, to challenge the decision through the planning process and we are already exploring every avenue. In the meantime remember all that is great about this wonderful City and the reasons why we love it so much. If there is one good thing to come out of this, it is that we have an opportunity to harness the energy that has grown in our community this past year. People are already talking about what we can do as a community to potentially reduce the impact of the hotel, it would be good to get people together when everyone has digested the news to see where this can go. Thank you for the support you have shown from both near and far! Best wishes NOPi
