COLWYN BAY WATERFRONT PROJECT
Phase 1 Engineering Works
Environmental Statement: Volume 3 Non Technical Summary
October 2010
INTRODUCTION
Purpose of this document and EIAThis document forms the Non Technical Summary (NTS) of the Environmental
Statement (ES) for coastal defence and initial engineering work proposals at Colwyn Bay. An Environmental Statement (ES) is the report
which presents the findings of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and is required as part of a planning application. EIA comprises a number of stages as shown below,
throughout which consultation is required.
BACKGROUND TO SCHEME
Why do we need new coastal defences?After its development in the late nineteenth century, the town of Colwyn Bay in North Wales
quickly became a thriving seaside resort and continued to grow in size and wealth until the mid part of the twentieth century. Since then the town has suffered decline and lack of
investment due to the rise of the foreign holiday market. The construction of the A55 expressway through the town in the 1980s
accelerated decline by reinforcing the physical barrier between the town centre and waterfront, and removing through-traffic from the town centre.
The promenade which runs along the
waterfront at Colwyn Bay is currently under threat from storm damage and tidal flooding.
Regular overtopping of the existing coastal
defences is causing damage to the promenade and defences themselves, many of which are at imminent risk of failure. Important
infrastructure assets which run parallel to the waterfront, such as the railway line and A55 road, are at risk from coastal erosion and flooding. The lack of protection is substantially
caused by erosion of the beach at Colwyn Bay and this requires constant intervention to protect the existing defences structures along
the shoreline. The coast road is often closed due to storm damage and this affects the local community. As a result of the poor standard of existing coastal protection, there has been a
lack of investment in the waterfront area as a tourist destination.
Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) is therefore developing plans for new coastal defences to protect Colwyn Bay. The principal
objective is to provide the town with improved coastal defence solutions appropriate for the level of flood and erosion risk to local property,
the local population and local and national infrastructure. In particular, the proposals aim to protect the commercial and residential
properties along the bay, the Chester to Holyhead railway line and associated infrastructure, the A55 road, and other assets existing along the waterfront. Following the
coastal defence improvements, the council proposes to undertake environmental improvements along the promenade in order to
support plans to regenerate Colwyn Bay as a desirable destination for tourists and businesses.
Screening and ScopingDefine the requirement for EIA and
required scope of assessment.
Baseline StudiesThe existing environmental conditions,
such as coastal processes and ecological
habitats, are considered.
Impact IdentificationAn assessment of the impact of the
proposals on the environmental
conditions is undertaken.
MitigationMeasures to prevent, reduce and offset
any significant adverse effects are
recommended
Typical storm damage to promenade
What are the alternative options?Consideration of alternatives is a key part of the EIA process. Adverse effects can often be
avoided by considering different technologies, different sites or different ways of achieving the requirements. A study considered alternatives to the scheme in terms of their environmental
impacts in order that a justified selection of the final scheme could be undertaken.
The study evaluated five options, ranging from a Do Nothing scenario, through options to maintain or sustain the existing defences, to
options which improved the level of coastal protection. Only two options appraised were considered to meet the key objective to provide
improved coastal defence solutions, as follows:
Option 1 A linear rock revetment constructed along the entire Colwyn Bay frontage
Option 2 A combined sand recharge, control structure and rock revetment solution.
IMPACT ASSESSMENT
Planning FrameworkThe scheme generally supports policy objectives at all planning levels, particularly
with regards to enhancing sea defences and reducing flood risk. Additionally, regeneration of the waterfront is considered
to support policy objectives to regenerate Colwyn Bay as a desirable tourist destination. Furthermore, through enhancements to
The protection and setting of heritage assets, the scheme is considered to have a positive impact on cultural heritage policy objectives.
The long term effects of the scheme are also considered to support planning objectivesconcerned with nature conservation and
environmental management. Improvederosion protection provided to transportinfrastructure would support policy objectives for developing sustainable transport links in
North Wales.
Option 2 was selected as the preferred option;
not only providing an improved level of flood protection, but also facilitating regeneration of the waterfront and the wider Colwyn Bay
area.
The proposed schemeThe proposed works will provide coastal
defences along Colwyn Bay between Rhos-on-Sea and Old Colwyn. Along with proposals to undertake environmental improvements to
the promenade, the coastal defence scheme forms half of the Colwyn Bay Waterfront Project. The works are to be delivered in three discrete Phases as and when funding allows.
Funding is currently in place to commence with the initial engineering works within the Phase 1 boundary. Each phase of works will
include improvements of the promenade and existing defences, with localised construction of new defences, beach control structures and
beach recharge.
The scheme also includes future management
actions promenade repair and maintenance of the new defences, management of the recharged beach material, windblown sand
clearance from the promenade and reworking of structures to maintain an adequate standard of service in line with sea level rise.
While there may be some temporary adverse impacts conflicting with policy objectives
during construction, these are not considered to be significant in the longer term. The overall impact of the scheme is considered to facilitate improvements to the social and
economic stability of Colwyn Bay, with no residual major negative impacts on water or air quality, historic coastal setting, or the
surrounding environment.
Coastal ProcessesAn assessment of the impacts of the proposed development on coastal processes has been
undertaken in order to minimise the impact of the scheme through mitigation measures. The only slightly negative impact which may
occur during construction is associated with temporary and localised changes to tidal currents and wave conditions. However, once
operational, the scheme is considered to be largely beneficial to coastal processes in the area as it would improve the local sediment transport regime, minimising erosion of the
new beach whilst maintaining a supply of sediment to beaches to the east of Colwyn Bay.
The raised beach levels would also reduce wave action on the defences and so minimise
overtopping and flooding of the promenade.
EcologyIn the short term, the scheme has potential to
impact on ecological marine resources due to the beach recharge operation which will smother existing populations of species such as
mussels. There is potential for maintenance beach recharge operations to have a continued slightly adverse effect on these populations although in the longer term, marine species
would utilise new habitat created in the groyne. Long term alterations to the ecology of the area would likely be from soft substratum favouring
species to hard substratum favouring species.
Landscape and VisualScheme impacts on the surrounding landscape,
seascape and townscape are generally considered to be positive due to the improved condition of the beach and increased visual connectivity between the promenade and sea.
There may be slightly adverse visual impacts to local residents and users of the promenade, A55 road and railway during construction due to
material deliveries and large scale construction equipment. However, these impacts are transient in nature and are not considered to be significant in the longer term.
The coastal defence scheme will facilitate regeneration of the waterfront, which will
include zoned areas of activity along the bay. These areas are likely to have increased levels of visitor activity and consequently the tranquillity
of some areas of the bay may be reduced during operation. However, this is seen as a positiveimpact as part of general aims to improve theamenity and visual appearance of the
waterfront area.
Socio-EconomicOverall the scheme is considered to have a significantly beneficial impact on the local
economy and is anticipated to improve the quality of life for local residents. The improvements to the beach and promenade would create a new public amenity resource and
increase opportunities for outdoor activities such as cycling and watersports, thus encouraging social inclusion and healthy
lifestyles.
Rehabilitation of the waterfront will also make
Colwyn Bay a more desirable tourist destination and will improve the towns identity, encouraging business relocation into the area.
While local businesses and residents may be slightly adversely impacted by access disruptions and occasional road closures during
construction, they will subsequently benefit from increased protection from tidal flooding and general rehabilitation of the area.
Cultural HeritageAn assessment of the potential impacts of the proposed development on heritage assets
revealed that the scheme will, in general, provide additional protection to archaeologically important buildings and articles and improve the setting of heritage
assets. While an overview of potential impacts of the scheme on heritage assets is included within the ES, a full impact assessment is to be
submitted as a stand alone report following submission of the ES.
The beach recharge operation will provide additional protection to Victoria Pier and will also improve the setting of this heritage asset.
Archaeologically important marine deposits will be covered by the new beach material and thus better protected. New coastal defences will
protect historic railway infrastructure, the existing masonry defence structures and archaeologically important buildings in the vicinity of the waterfront. Slightly adverse,
temporary impacts which may occur during construction include disturbance of buried heritage assets during excavations, and a
slightly detrimental effect on their visual setting.
Cumulative ImpactsAs part of the ES, an assessment of potential
cumulative effects has been made by considering the scheme in relation to other major projects in the area. The coastal defence scheme forms one half of the Colwyn Bay
Waterfront Project, the other part of which is associated with environmental improvements along the promenade. Another key project
which comprises rehabilitation proposals for the town centre has been considered.
Overall cumulative impacts are considered to be positive, as new coastal defences will provide additional flood protection for the bay and also
contain proposals to provide enabling works for the subsequent environmental improvements along the promenade. These proposals
subsequently coordinate with rehabilitation proposals for the town centre.
The Waterfront Project in addition to town centre regeneration proposals are considered to strongly support national, regional and local
planning policy objectives and would greatly improve the socio-economic environment of the town. Cumulative impacts on the natural environment are generally considered to be
beneficial in the long term, due to prevention of coastal erosion, creation and preservation of ecological habitats and improvements to the
visual landscape. Some slightly adversecumulative impacts would be anticipated during construction on the natural environment,
cultural heritage and socio-economic aspects due to visual intrusion, temporary disturbance of heritage assets and disruption to local businesses.
The Waterfront Project and town centre
regeneration would work together to improve both the natural and built environments of Colwyn Bay and would raise the towns profile as a desirable place to live and work.
CYFLWYNIAD

phwrpas y ddogfen hon
Maer ddogfen hon yn Grynodeb Anhechnegol or
Datganiad Amgylcheddol ar gyfer cynigion
cychwynnol i wneud gwaith peirianyddol ac
amddiffyn arfordirol ym Mae Colwyn. Y Datganiad
Amgylcheddol ywr adroddiad syn cyflwyno
canfyddiadaur Asesiad Effaith Amgylcheddol, ac
maen ofynnol fel rhan o gais cynllunio. Mae Asesiad
Effaith Amgylcheddol yn cynnwys nifer o gamau fel
y dangosir isod, ac ymgynghorir drwy gydol y camau
hyn.
CEFNDIR Y CYNLLUN
Pam bod angen amddiffynfeydd arfordirolnewydd?
Ar l datblygu tref Bae Colwyn yng Ngogledd Cymru
ar ddiwedd y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg, yn fuan
datblygodd i fod yn gyrchfan glan mr ffyniannus a
pharhaodd i dyfu o ran maint a chyfoeth tan ganol yr
ugeinfed ganrif. Ers hynny maer dref wedi dirywio a
bu diffyg buddsoddi ynddi yn sgil y cynnydd yn y
farchnad wyliau dramor. Mae ffordd gyflym yr A55 a
adeiladwyd drwy ganol y dref yn y 1980au wedi
cyfrannu at y dirywiad drwy bwysleisior rhaniad
ffisegol rhwng y canol y dref ar glannau, a symud llif
y traffig o ganol y dref.
Maer rhodfa sydd mynd ar hyd y glannau ym Mae
Colwyn ar hyn o bryd dan fygythiad gan ddifrod
oherwydd stormydd a llifogydd llanwol.
Maer mr yn codin uwch nar amddiffynfeydd
arfordirol presennol yn gyson, a hynnyn achosi
difrod ir rhodfa ar amddiffynfeydd eu hunain, gyda
nifer ohonynt mewn risg o gael eu difrodi yn fuan
iawn. Mae asedau isadeiledd syn rhedeg yn
gyfochrog r glannau, fel y lein rheilffordd a ffordd
yr A55, mewn risg o erydiad arfordirol a llifogydd.
Maer diffyg diogelwch yn cael ei achosi i raddau
helaeth oherwydd bod y traeth ym Mae Colwyn yn
erydu ac mae angen ymyrraeth gyson i ddiogelur
strwythurau amddiffyn presennol ar hyd y morlin.
Maer ffordd ar hyd yr arfordir yn cael ei chaun aml
oherwydd difrod gan stormydd ac mae hyn yn
effeithio ar y gymuned leol. O ganlyniad i safon wael
yr amddiffynfeydd arfordirol presennol, bu diffyg
buddsoddi yn ardal y glannau fel cyrchfan i
dwristiaid.
Felly mae Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy (CBSC) yn
datblygu cynlluniau ar gyfer amddiffynfeydd
arfordirol newydd i ddiogelu Bae Colwyn. Y prif nod
yw gwella amddiffynfeydd arfordirol y dref fel eu
bod yn briodol i lefel y llifogydd ar risg o erydu i
eiddo lleol, y boblogaeth leol ar isadeiledd lleol a
chenedlaethol. Maer cynigion yn anelun benodol at
ddiogelu eiddo masnachol a phreswyl ar hyd y bae, y
lein reilffordd o Gaer i Gaergybi, ffordd yr A55 ac
asedau presennol eraill ar hyd y glannau. Yn dilyn y
gwelliannau ir amddiffynfeydd arfordirol, maer
cyngor yn bwriadu gwneud gwelliannau
amgylcheddol ar hyd y rhodfa er mwyn cefnogi
cynlluniau i adfywio Bae Colwyn fel cyrchfan
ddymunol i dwristiaid a busnesau.
Sgrinio a ChwmpasuDiffinnir yr angen i gynnal Asesiad Effaith
Amgylcheddol a chwmpas yr asesiad

Pa atebion eraill sydd wedi cael euhystyried?
Mae ystyried atebion eraill yn rhan allweddol or
broses Asesiad Effaith Amgylcheddol. Yn aml gellir
osgoi effeithiau andwyol trwy ystyried technolegau
gwahanol, safleoedd gwahanol neu ffyrdd gwahanol
o gyflawnir gofynion. Gwnaed astudiaeth i ystyried
atebion eraill ir cynllun yn nhermau eu heffeithiau
amgylcheddol er mwyn gallu gwneud dewis cyfiawn
or cynllun terfynol. Yn yr astudiaeth gwerthuswyd
pum opsiwn, yn amrywio o senario Gwneud Dim, i
opsiynau i gadw a chynnal yr amddiffynfeydd
presennol, i opsiynau oedd yn gwella lefel y
diogelwch arfordirol.
Ystyrid mai dau opsiwn yn unig or rhai a
werthuswyd oedd yn cyflawnir prif nod i ddarparu
gwell amddiffynfeydd arfordirol, sef:
Opsiwn 1 - Codi gwrthglawdd cerrig llinellol ar hyd
ffryntiad cyfan Bae Colwyn.
Opsiwn 2 - Ailgyflenwi tywod, strwythur rheoli a
gwrthglawdd cerrig.
ASESIAD EFFAITH
Fframwaith Cynllunio
Maer cynllun, yn gyffredinol, yn cefnogi
amcanion polisi ar bob lefel cynllunio, yn arbennig
o safbwynt gwella amddiffynfeydd mr a lleihaur
risg o lifogydd. Hefyd, ystyrir bod adfywior
glannaun cefnogi amcanion polisi i adfywio Bae
Colwyn fel cyrchfan ddymunol i dwristiaid. Hefyd,
drwy wella lefel diogelwch a lleoliad asedau
treftadaeth, ystyrir bod y cynllun yn cael effaith
gadarnhaol ar amcanion polisi treftadaeth
ddiwylliannol. Ystyrir hefyd bod effeithiau
hirdymor y cynllun yn cefnogi amcanion polisi syn
gysylltiedig chadwraeth natur a rheolaeth
amgylcheddol. Bydd gwella diogelwch rhag
erydiad i isadeiledd cludiant yn cefnogi amcanion
polisi ar gyfer datblygu cysylltiadau cludiant
cynaliadwy yng Ngogledd Cymru.
Er efallai bod rhai effeithiau andwyol dros dro syn
groes i amcanion polisi yn ystod y gwaith
adeiladu, nid ystyrir bod y rhain yn arwyddocaol
yn yr hirdymor. Ystyrir bod effaith gyffredinol y
cynllun yn hwyluso gwelliannau i sefydlogrwydd
Opsiwn 2 a ddewiswyd fel yr opsiwn gorau; nid yn
unig gan ei fod yn gwella lefel diogelwch rhag
llifogydd, ond hefyd am ei fod yn hwyluso
gwelliannau amgylcheddol diweddarach ar hyd y
rhodfa ac yn cydlynu dyheadau adfywio
ehangach Bae Colwyn.
Y cynllun arfaethedig
Bydd y gwaith arfaethedig yn darparu
amddiffynfeydd arfordirol ar hyd ffryntiad Bae
Colwyn rhwng Llandrillo-yn-rhos a Hen Golwyn.
Ynghyd chynigion i wneud gwelliannau
amgylcheddol ir rhodfa, maer cynllun amddiffyn
arfordirol yn ffurfio hanner Prosiect Glannau Bae
Colwyn. Y nod yw cyflawnir gwaith fel tri phecyn
unigol o waith pryd a phan fo arian yn caniatu.
Mae arian wedi ei sicrhau ar hyn o bryd i
ddechraur gwaith peirianyddol cychwynnol o
fewn rhan 1 or cynllun. Bydd pob rhan or gwaith
yn cynnwys gwelliannau ir amddiffynfeydd
presennol ar rhodfa, gan adeiladu amddiffynfeydd
newydd yn lleol, strwythurau rheoli newydd ar y
traeth ac ailgyflenwir traeth.
Maer cynllun hefyd yn cynnwys camau rheoli yn y
dyfodol syn cynnwys trwsio a chynnal yr
amddiffynfeydd newydd ar rhodfa, rheoli ac
ychwanegu at ddeunydd ailgyflenwir traeth, clirio
tywod a chwythir or rhodfa ac ail-weithior
strwythurau er mwyn sicrhau safon gwasanaeth
digonol yn unol r codiad yn lefel y mr.
cymdeithasol ac economaidd Bae Colwyn, heb
unrhyw effeithiau negyddol gweddilliol o bwys ar
ansawdd dr neu aer, ar y lleoliad arfordirol
hanesyddol, neur amgylchedd oi gwmpas.
Prosesau Arfordirol
Gwnaed asesiad o effeithiaur datblygiad
arfaethedig ar brosesau arfordirol er mwyn lleihau
effaith y cynllun drwy fesurau lliniaru. Maer unig
effaith negyddol bychan a allai ddigwydd yn ystod
y gwaith adeiladun gysylltiedig newidiadau dros
dro neu leol i geryntau llanwol ac amodau tonnau.
Fodd bynnag, unwaith y bydd y cynllun yn
weithredol, ystyrir y bydd o fudd mawr i brosesau
arfordirol yn yr ardal. Bydd yn gwellar modd y
caiff gwaddod lleol ei gludo, yn sicrhau bod cyn
lleied phosibl o erydun digwydd ir traeth
newydd gan sicrhau cyflenwad o waddod i
draethau ir dwyrain o Fae Colwyn. Byddair
cynnydd yn lefelaur traeth hefyd yn lleihau
symudiad y tonnau yn erbyn yr amddiffynfeydd ac
fellyn lleihau achosion or mr yn codin uwch na
hwy a llifogydd ar y rhodfa.
Ecoleg
Yn y tymor byr, mae gan y cynllun y potensial i
effeithio ar adnoddau morol ecolegol yn sgil
ailgyflenwir traeth oherwydd bydd poblogaethau
presennol o rywogaethau fel cregyn gleision yn cael
eu mygu. Maen bosibl y bydd gwaith cynnal y
deunydd ailgyflenwi ar y traeth yn cael effaith
ychydig yn andwyol a pharhaol ar y poblogaethau
hyn, er y byddai rhywogaethau morol yn yr hirdymor
yn defnyddio cynefin newydd a grir yn y grwyn. O
safbwynt newidiadau hirdymor i ecoleg yr ardal,
maen debygol y gwelir newid o rywogaethau syn
hoff o is-haen feddal i rywogaethau syn hoff o is-
haen galed.
Tirwedd a Gweledol
Yn gyffredinol ystyrir bod effeithiaur cynllun ar y
dirwedd, y morlun ar treflun cyfagos yn gadarnhaol
oherwydd bod y traeth mewn gwell cyflwr a bod
cynnydd o ran cysylltedd gweledol rhwng y rhodfa
ar mr. Efallai bydd effeithiau gweledol ychydig yn
andwyol i breswylwyr lleol a defnyddwyr y rhodfa,
ffordd yr A55 ar rheilffordd yn ystod y gwaith
adeiladu yn sgil cludo deunydd ac offer adeiladu ar
raddfa fawr. Fodd bynnag, ni fydd yr effeithiau yn
barhaol ac ni ystyrir eu bod yn sylweddol yn yr
hirdymor.
Bydd y cynllun amddiffyn arfordirol yn hwylusor
broses o adfywio glannaur mr, fydd yn cynnwys
ardaloedd gweithgaredd wediu rhannun barthau
ar hyd y bae. Maer ardaloedd hyn yn debygol o fod
lefelau uwch o weithgaredd ymwelwyr ac o
ganlyniad gallai tawelwch rhai ardaloedd or bae
leihau yn ystod y gwaith. Fodd bynnag, caiff hyn ei
ystyried fel effaith gadarnhaol fel rhan o amcanion
cyffredinol i wella harddwch ac edrychiad gweledol
ardal y glannau.
Economaidd-gymdeithasol
Yn gyffredinol ystyrir y bydd y cynllun o fudd
sylweddol ir economi lleol a rhagwelir y bydd yn
gwella ansawdd bywyd i breswylwyr lleol. Byddair
gwelliannau ir traeth ar rhodfan creu amwynder
cyhoeddus newydd ac yn cynyddu cyfleoedd ar
gyfer gweithgareddau yn yr awyr agored fel beicio a
chwaraeon dr. Byddai hynny yn ei dron hybu
cynhwysiant cymdeithasol a ffyrdd iach o fyw. Bydd
adfywior glannau hefyd yn gwneud Bae Colwyn yn
gyrchfan fwy dymunol i dwristiaid a bydd yn gwella
hunaniaeth y dref, gan annog busnesau i adleoli ir
ardal.
Er efallai bydd effaith ychydig yn andwyol ar
fusnesau lleol a phreswylwyr yn ystod y gwaith
adeiladu pan darfir ar fynediad a phan fydd ffyrdd yn
cau o bryd iw gilydd, byddant yn elwan sylweddol
or cynnydd mewn diogelwch rhag llifogydd llanwol
ac yn sgil adfywior ardal yn gyffredinol.
Treftadaeth Ddiwylliannol
Dangosodd asesiad o effeithiau posibl y datblygiad
arfaethedig ar asedau treftadaeth y bydd y cynllun,
yn gyffredinol, yn rhoi diogelwch ychwanegol i
adeiladau ac eitemau sydd o bwysigrwydd
archeolegol a bydd yn gwella lleoliad asedau
treftadaeth. Tra bod trosolwg o effeithiau posibl y
cynllun ar asedau treftadaeth yn cael ei gynnwys yn
y Datganiad Amgylcheddol, bydd asesiad effaith
llawn yn cael ei gyflwyno fel adroddiad unigol yn
dilyn cyflwynor Datganiad Amgylcheddol.
Bydd y gwaith o ailgyflenwir traeth yn rhoi
diogelwch ychwanegol i Lanfa Victoria a hefyd bydd
yn gwella lleoliad yr ased treftadaeth hwn. Bydd
gwaddodion morol sydd o bwysigrwydd archeolegol
yn cael eu gorchuddio gan y deunydd newydd ar y
traeth a thrwy hynnyn cael eu diogelun well. Bydd
amddiffynfeydd arfordirol newydd yn diogelu
isadeiledd y rheilffordd hanesyddol, y strwythurau
amddiffyn presennol o waith maen ac adeiladau
sydd o bwysigrwydd archeolegol yng nghyffiniau
glannaur mr. Maer effeithiau ychydig yn andwyol,
dros dro a allai ddigwydd yn ystod gwaith adeiladun
cynnwys tarfu ar asedau treftadaeth sydd wedi eu
claddu yn ystod gwaith cloddio, ac effaith ychydig
yn andwyol ar eu hedrychiad gweledol.
Effeithiau Cronnus
Fel rhan or Datganiad Amgylcheddol, gwnaed
asesiad or effeithiau cronnol posibl drwy ystyried y
cynllun mewn perthynas phrif brosiectau eraill yn
yr ardal. Maer cynllun amddiffyn arfordirol yn un
hanner o Brosiect Glannau Bae Colwyn, maer rhan
arall yn gysylltiedig gwelliannau amgylcheddol ar
hyd y rhodfa. Mae prosiect allweddol arall syn
cynnwys cynigion adfywio ar gyfer canol y dref wedi
ei ystyried.
Ystyrir bod yr effeithiau cronnus cyffredinol yn
gadarnhaol, oherwydd bydd yr amddiffynfeydd
arfordirol newydd yn rhoi diogelwch ychwanegol
rhag llifogydd ir bae a hefyd mae'n cynnwys
cynigion i wneud gwelliannau amgylcheddol dilynol
ar hyd y rhodfa. Maer cynigion hyn yn cydlynu
chynigion adfywio ar gyfer canol y dref.
Ystyrir bod Prosiect Glannau Bae Colwyn, yn ogystal
r cynigion i adfywio canol y dref yn cefnogin gryf
amcanion polisi cynllunio cenedlaethol, rhanbarthol
a lleol a bydd yn gwellan fawr amgylchedd
economaidd-gymdeithasol y dref. Yn gyffredinol
ystyrir bod yr effeithiau cronnus ar yr amgylchedd
naturiol o fudd yn yr hirdymor, gan eu bod yn atal
erydu, yn creu ac yn gwarchod cynefinoedd ecolegol
ac yn sicrhau gwelliannau ir dirwedd weledol.
Rhagwelir y byddai rhai effeithiau ychydig yn
andwyol yn ystod y gwaith adeiladu ar yr
amgylchedd naturiol, y dreftadaeth ddiwylliannol ac
agweddau economaidd-gymdeithasol yn sgil
ymwthiant gweledol, tarfu dros dro ar asedau
treftadaeth a tharfu ar fusnesau lleol.
Fodd bynnag, yn gyffredinol byddai Prosiect
Glannau Bae Colwyn ac adfywio canol y dref yn
gweithio gydai gilydd i wella amgylcheddau naturiol
ac adeiledig Bae Colwyn a byddain codi proffil y dref
fel lle dymunol i fyw a gweithio ynddi.
