I don't agree about the wind farm, Fester; for a start it's quite a way off the foreshore, is isolated and not affecting anything else, and is a feature of interest, if not somewhat elegant in its own right. I like windmills.
The new Waldron hutch, however, is going to make a significant difference to the Llandudno skyline; there's nothing elegant about it, it's not in keeping with the Victorian style (for those who like that sort of thing) and apart from benefiting a few wealthy individuals I don't see what positive contribution it's going to make, other than to Wladron's bottom line.
On the flip side, the site has remained vacant for a long time, now, and the fire didn't have the immediate effect of allowing construction there in short order. But the point's been made that CCBC had the opportunity to enforce a CPO and didn't; so perhaps this is yet another incidence of gross incompetence or worse by our beloved leaders.
