Roy Botfield submits Llandudno church demolition plan

Roy Botfield has applied to Conwy County Council this month to demolish vacant St Katherine's Church on Bryn Pydew Road in llandudno Junction and replace it with a new house. The planning file says work has not started and the site can be seen from a public road.

St Katherine's Church plans

The application would clear the church building and change the site from a disused religious property to a home. Botfield, from Colwyn Bay, has also included vehicle access, permeable paving within the site, a detached garage, a treatment plant and other landscaping in the proposal.

If the council approves the plan, the new building would have painted off-white rendered walls, a natural slate roof and black UPVC casement windows. The application also says no public space would be lost.

Conwy County Council review

Botfield did not seek pre-application advice from the local planning authority before submitting the scheme. The file now sits with Conwy County Council's planning department, which will likely send it to a future planning committee meeting at the authority's Coed Pella HQ.

For residents near Bryn Pydew Road, the practical change is straightforward: the proposal would remove a vacant church and replace it with a private house, along with parking and access work on the site. The committee stage is the point where the council will decide whether that change can go ahead.
