New football stands proposed for community club
New fan stands could be erected at a Conwy county leisure centre for a community football club. Mrs Lynda Griffiths has applied to Conwy County Council's planning department, seeking permission to erect two 40-foot converted shipping containers as football spectator stands at Y Morfa Leisure Centre, Morfa Avenue, in Kinmel Bay. If granted permission, the new stands would seat 50 people, with wheelchair and disabled access. The refurbished shipping containers will be made from Corten Steel and are described as high durability, with corrosion resistance. The new stands will be 'finished in Kinmel Bay Football colours of two shades of blue'. Natural Resources Wales have written to the council raising no objection, but they did issue advice relating to flooding. Sign up for the North Wales Live newsletter sent twice daily to your inbox. 'Given the nature and scale of the proposals, on this occasion we would expect the developer to take the opportunity to incorporate flood resilient design where/if feasible and include some form of flood action plan acknowledging the tidal flood risk,' the letter advised. The leisure centre currently includes the main building, showers, toilets, kitchen, spa, squash courts, offices, an all-weather MUGA, a main football pitch, and a large grassed area suitable for additional football competitions and tournaments as well as cricket and sports days. Neighbours are yet to be consulted. The plans will likely be debated at a future planning committee at Conwy's Coed Pella HQ.
