Anglesey Land and Lakes: £120m holiday village plans move ahead

The £120m Land and Lakes projects covers three sites around Holyhead

Plans to develop a £120m holiday village on separate sites on Anglesey have taken another step forward following a meeting with councillors.

The Land and Lakes project at Holyhead was given planning permission in 2013, but legal conditions have led to delays in the process and more outstanding issues were agreed on Wednesday.

The plans would see 500 lodges and leisure facilities built at Penrhos.

A further 300 lodges would be built at neighbouring Cae Glas.

Housing would be built at a third site in the Kingsland area of the town.

Councillors agreed key planning conditions at a council meeting on Wednesday, including issues over what will happen to housing earmarked for construction workers once the new Wylfa Newydd nuclear plant is built and operational on the island in the 2020s.

Some finer points are still subject to talks between the holiday village developers and council officials.

Chief executive of Land and Lakes Richard Sidi said he was "delighted" with the planning decision.

He added: "We look forward to getting on with the detailed design and delivery of what will ultimately be a world-class holiday destination on Anglesey.

"Our scheme has been carefully and sensitively designed in order to conserve the unique character of this exceptional natural environment."
