StMalo unveils Lleyn proposal
StMalo has unveiled exciting development plans for the Lleyn peninsular that is set to provide local residents and holidaymakers with further retail choice.
The proposal in Pwllheli provides for a food superstore together with 100,000 on non-food retail, surface-level shoppers carpark and road link between Cardiff and Ala Road, alleviating summer town-centre traffic congestion.
In 2006, StMalo secured 40 acres of land south of Ala Road, Pwllheli that is adjacent to the town centre. The proposal is located on 18 acres of developable land that comprises low-lying grazing enclosures and brown-field land.
It is anticipated that StMalo will follow the LDP process to seek adoption of the "candidate site" following extensive consultations with Gwynedd County Council and the Environment Agency.
Residents and holidaymakers would no longer need to drive 30 miles (45 minutes) to Bangor and 50 miles (110 minutes) to Llandudno as a bespoke retail facility on their doorstep provides a "carbon-neutral" shopping solution.
The development could provide a significant number of full and part-time jobs as well as provide an economic boost for the locality.
