Janet Finch-Saunders, the Welsh Conservative Shadow Cabinet Secretary for Climate Change and the Environment, wrote to the Counsel General and Minister for Delivery, Julie James MS, calling for the Penrhos Coastal Park to be preserved.
Janet commented:
“There are significant concerns about the future of Penrhos Coastal Park. The Save Penrhos Coastal Park Holyhead campaign group already has 11,000 members, and the number keeps growing.
“It is vital that the owners of Penrhos do not overdevelop the area, and that any and all developments undertaken are done sympathetically, with the coastal park, the environment, and wildlife in mind.
“The 500 lodges proposed in the planning permission are excessive and do not adhere to this, and risks impacting our vital environment. Which will become even more essential due to the impacts from climate change. As such, it is essential that all planning guidelines are followed to the letter, and that the protections for AONBs, SSSIs, and TPOs are fully adhered to.
“100,000 visitors a year visit Penrhos, many of whom are from my own constituency. As a result, it is essential that we preserve this precious local asset.”
