Search the Public Notice PortalA WASTE transfer centre will be built at the site of a former car scrapyard in Llandudno Junction, despite objection from the town council.
Plot 1, at Ffordd Maelgwn, will see the construction of a waste transfer station, for the sorting and bailing of separately collected recyclable waste streams.
This would be for onward transportation to recovery, recycling and reuse facilities.
Its development will support the local authority in merging its existing Materials Recycling Facility (MRF) currently located in Mochdre.
The proposal, by Conwy County Borough Council, was met with objection by Conwy Town Council and Cllr Tracy Hughes, of Pensarn ward.
Cllr Hughes expressed concern at the apparent lack of consultation with nearby residents and the level of smell and noise pollution caused by waste and machinery at the site – particularly in the summer months.
She said: “Many people do not rinse their recycling properly so it isn't just the food waste that will be causing odours.
“I cannot imagine that there will be minimal noise from the site as I'm also well aware of how operatives work and it won't be in silence.

“Vehicles and machinery will be left running because it's convenient to do so and it is naïve to claim otherwise.”
Cllr Hughes also said she “assumed” workers from the Mochdre site would be relocated there.
Conwy Town Council said of the development: “Residents have not had a consultation regarding this, there will be noise pollution, smell pollution, food waste smell especially in the summer. Night working planned so there will light pollution.”
Despite these concerns, planners said the building will not be used to treat waste and the only machinery to be based there would be a dirty loading shovel and a fork truck.
The site will see the construction of portal frame steel buildings, associated parking and active travel shelters.
The site has an extensive planning history and was used as a brickworks up until the late 1950s, a landfill until the 1980s, and a car breakers' and container yard from the 1990s until recently.
Planning was previously approved for the site to be converted into a DIY and garden centre, and later on for use as a new superstore, petrol station and four restaurants.
