COLWYN BAY WATERFRONT PROJECT

Phase 1 Engineering Works

Environmental Statement: Volume 3 Non Technical Summary

October 2010

INTRODUCTION

Purpose of this document and EIAThis document forms the Non Technical Summary (NTS) of the Environmental

Statement (ES) for coastal defence and initial engineering work proposals at Colwyn Bay. An Environmental Statement (ES) is the report

which presents the findings of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) and is required as part of a planning application. EIA comprises a number of stages as shown below,

throughout which consultation is required.

BACKGROUND TO SCHEME

Why do we need new coastal defences?After its development in the late nineteenth century, the town of Colwyn Bay in North Wales

quickly became a thriving seaside resort and continued to grow in size and wealth until the mid part of the twentieth century. Since then the town has suffered decline and lack of

investment due to the rise of the foreign holiday market. The construction of the A55 expressway through the town in the 1980s

accelerated decline by reinforcing the physical barrier between the town centre and waterfront, and removing through-traffic from the town centre.

The promenade which runs along the

waterfront at Colwyn Bay is currently under threat from storm damage and tidal flooding.

Regular overtopping of the existing coastal

defences is causing damage to the promenade and defences themselves, many of which are at imminent risk of failure. Important

infrastructure assets which run parallel to the waterfront, such as the railway line and A55 road, are at risk from coastal erosion and flooding. The lack of protection is substantially

caused by erosion of the beach at Colwyn Bay and this requires constant intervention to protect the existing defences structures along

the shoreline. The coast road is often closed due to storm damage and this affects the local community. As a result of the poor standard of existing coastal protection, there has been a

lack of investment in the waterfront area as a tourist destination.

Conwy County Borough Council (CCBC) is therefore developing plans for new coastal defences to protect Colwyn Bay. The principal

objective is to provide the town with improved coastal defence solutions appropriate for the level of flood and erosion risk to local property,

the local population and local and national infrastructure. In particular, the proposals aim to protect the commercial and residential

properties along the bay, the Chester to Holyhead railway line and associated infrastructure, the A55 road, and other assets existing along the waterfront. Following the

coastal defence improvements, the council proposes to undertake environmental improvements along the promenade in order to

support plans to regenerate Colwyn Bay as a desirable destination for tourists and businesses.

Screening and ScopingDefine the requirement for EIA and

required scope of assessment.

Baseline StudiesThe existing environmental conditions,

such as coastal processes and ecological

habitats, are considered.

Impact IdentificationAn assessment of the impact of the

proposals on the environmental

conditions is undertaken.

MitigationMeasures to prevent, reduce and offset

any significant adverse effects are

recommended

Typical storm damage to promenade

What are the alternative options?Consideration of alternatives is a key part of the EIA process. Adverse effects can often be

avoided by considering different technologies, different sites or different ways of achieving the requirements. A study considered alternatives to the scheme in terms of their environmental

impacts in order that a justified selection of the final scheme could be undertaken.

The study evaluated five options, ranging from a Do Nothing scenario, through options to maintain or sustain the existing defences, to

options which improved the level of coastal protection. Only two options appraised were considered to meet the key objective to provide

improved coastal defence solutions, as follows:

Option 1 A linear rock revetment constructed along the entire Colwyn Bay frontage

Option 2 A combined sand recharge, control structure and rock revetment solution.

IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Planning FrameworkThe scheme generally supports policy objectives at all planning levels, particularly

with regards to enhancing sea defences and reducing flood risk. Additionally, regeneration of the waterfront is considered

to support policy objectives to regenerate Colwyn Bay as a desirable tourist destination. Furthermore, through enhancements to

The protection and setting of heritage assets, the scheme is considered to have a positive impact on cultural heritage policy objectives.

The long term effects of the scheme are also considered to support planning objectivesconcerned with nature conservation and

environmental management. Improvederosion protection provided to transportinfrastructure would support policy objectives for developing sustainable transport links in

North Wales.

Option 2 was selected as the preferred option;

not only providing an improved level of flood protection, but also facilitating regeneration of the waterfront and the wider Colwyn Bay

area.

The proposed schemeThe proposed works will provide coastal

defences along Colwyn Bay between Rhos-on-Sea and Old Colwyn. Along with proposals to undertake environmental improvements to

the promenade, the coastal defence scheme forms half of the Colwyn Bay Waterfront Project. The works are to be delivered in three discrete Phases as and when funding allows.

Funding is currently in place to commence with the initial engineering works within the Phase 1 boundary. Each phase of works will

include improvements of the promenade and existing defences, with localised construction of new defences, beach control structures and

beach recharge.

The scheme also includes future management

actions promenade repair and maintenance of the new defences, management of the recharged beach material, windblown sand

clearance from the promenade and reworking of structures to maintain an adequate standard of service in line with sea level rise.

While there may be some temporary adverse impacts conflicting with policy objectives

during construction, these are not considered to be significant in the longer term. The overall impact of the scheme is considered to facilitate improvements to the social and

economic stability of Colwyn Bay, with no residual major negative impacts on water or air quality, historic coastal setting, or the

surrounding environment.

Coastal ProcessesAn assessment of the impacts of the proposed development on coastal processes has been

undertaken in order to minimise the impact of the scheme through mitigation measures. The only slightly negative impact which may

occur during construction is associated with temporary and localised changes to tidal currents and wave conditions. However, once

operational, the scheme is considered to be largely beneficial to coastal processes in the area as it would improve the local sediment transport regime, minimising erosion of the

new beach whilst maintaining a supply of sediment to beaches to the east of Colwyn Bay.

The raised beach levels would also reduce wave action on the defences and so minimise

overtopping and flooding of the promenade.

EcologyIn the short term, the scheme has potential to

impact on ecological marine resources due to the beach recharge operation which will smother existing populations of species such as

mussels. There is potential for maintenance beach recharge operations to have a continued slightly adverse effect on these populations although in the longer term, marine species

would utilise new habitat created in the groyne. Long term alterations to the ecology of the area would likely be from soft substratum favouring

species to hard substratum favouring species.

Landscape and VisualScheme impacts on the surrounding landscape,

seascape and townscape are generally considered to be positive due to the improved condition of the beach and increased visual connectivity between the promenade and sea.

There may be slightly adverse visual impacts to local residents and users of the promenade, A55 road and railway during construction due to

material deliveries and large scale construction equipment. However, these impacts are transient in nature and are not considered to be significant in the longer term.

The coastal defence scheme will facilitate regeneration of the waterfront, which will

include zoned areas of activity along the bay. These areas are likely to have increased levels of visitor activity and consequently the tranquillity

of some areas of the bay may be reduced during operation. However, this is seen as a positiveimpact as part of general aims to improve theamenity and visual appearance of the

waterfront area.

Socio-EconomicOverall the scheme is considered to have a significantly beneficial impact on the local

economy and is anticipated to improve the quality of life for local residents. The improvements to the beach and promenade would create a new public amenity resource and

increase opportunities for outdoor activities such as cycling and watersports, thus encouraging social inclusion and healthy

lifestyles.

Rehabilitation of the waterfront will also make

Colwyn Bay a more desirable tourist destination and will improve the towns identity, encouraging business relocation into the area.

While local businesses and residents may be slightly adversely impacted by access disruptions and occasional road closures during

construction, they will subsequently benefit from increased protection from tidal flooding and general rehabilitation of the area.

Cultural HeritageAn assessment of the potential impacts of the proposed development on heritage assets

revealed that the scheme will, in general, provide additional protection to archaeologically important buildings and articles and improve the setting of heritage

assets. While an overview of potential impacts of the scheme on heritage assets is included within the ES, a full impact assessment is to be

submitted as a stand alone report following submission of the ES.

The beach recharge operation will provide additional protection to Victoria Pier and will also improve the setting of this heritage asset.

Archaeologically important marine deposits will be covered by the new beach material and thus better protected. New coastal defences will

protect historic railway infrastructure, the existing masonry defence structures and archaeologically important buildings in the vicinity of the waterfront. Slightly adverse,

temporary impacts which may occur during construction include disturbance of buried heritage assets during excavations, and a

slightly detrimental effect on their visual setting.

Cumulative ImpactsAs part of the ES, an assessment of potential

cumulative effects has been made by considering the scheme in relation to other major projects in the area. The coastal defence scheme forms one half of the Colwyn Bay

Waterfront Project, the other part of which is associated with environmental improvements along the promenade. Another key project

which comprises rehabilitation proposals for the town centre has been considered.

Overall cumulative impacts are considered to be positive, as new coastal defences will provide additional flood protection for the bay and also

contain proposals to provide enabling works for the subsequent environmental improvements along the promenade. These proposals

subsequently coordinate with rehabilitation proposals for the town centre.

The Waterfront Project in addition to town centre regeneration proposals are considered to strongly support national, regional and local

planning policy objectives and would greatly improve the socio-economic environment of the town. Cumulative impacts on the natural environment are generally considered to be

beneficial in the long term, due to prevention of coastal erosion, creation and preservation of ecological habitats and improvements to the

visual landscape. Some slightly adversecumulative impacts would be anticipated during construction on the natural environment,

cultural heritage and socio-economic aspects due to visual intrusion, temporary disturbance of heritage assets and disruption to local businesses.

The Waterfront Project and town centre

regeneration would work together to improve both the natural and built environments of Colwyn Bay and would raise the towns profile as a desirable place to live and work.

CEFNDIR Y CYNLLUN

Pam bod angen amddiffynfeydd arfordirolnewydd?

Ar l datblygu tref Bae Colwyn yng Ngogledd Cymru

ar ddiwedd y bedwaredd ganrif ar bymtheg, yn fuan

datblygodd i fod yn gyrchfan glan mr ffyniannus a

pharhaodd i dyfu o ran maint a chyfoeth tan ganol yr

ugeinfed ganrif. Ers hynny maer dref wedi dirywio a

bu diffyg buddsoddi ynddi yn sgil y cynnydd yn y

farchnad wyliau dramor. Mae ffordd gyflym yr A55 a

adeiladwyd drwy ganol y dref yn y 1980au wedi

cyfrannu at y dirywiad drwy bwysleisior rhaniad

ffisegol rhwng y canol y dref ar glannau, a symud llif

y traffig o ganol y dref.

Maer rhodfa sydd mynd ar hyd y glannau ym Mae

Colwyn ar hyn o bryd dan fygythiad gan ddifrod

oherwydd stormydd a llifogydd llanwol.

Maer mr yn codin uwch nar amddiffynfeydd

arfordirol presennol yn gyson, a hynnyn achosi

difrod ir rhodfa ar amddiffynfeydd eu hunain, gyda

nifer ohonynt mewn risg o gael eu difrodi yn fuan

iawn. Mae asedau isadeiledd syn rhedeg yn

gyfochrog r glannau, fel y lein rheilffordd a ffordd

yr A55, mewn risg o erydiad arfordirol a llifogydd.

Maer diffyg diogelwch yn cael ei achosi i raddau

helaeth oherwydd bod y traeth ym Mae Colwyn yn

erydu ac mae angen ymyrraeth gyson i ddiogelur

strwythurau amddiffyn presennol ar hyd y morlin.

Maer ffordd ar hyd yr arfordir yn cael ei chaun aml

oherwydd difrod gan stormydd ac mae hyn yn

effeithio ar y gymuned leol. O ganlyniad i safon wael

yr amddiffynfeydd arfordirol presennol, bu diffyg

buddsoddi yn ardal y glannau fel cyrchfan i

dwristiaid.

Felly mae Cyngor Bwrdeistref Sirol Conwy (CBSC) yn

datblygu cynlluniau ar gyfer amddiffynfeydd

arfordirol newydd i ddiogelu Bae Colwyn. Y prif nod

yw gwella amddiffynfeydd arfordirol y dref fel eu

bod yn briodol i lefel y llifogydd ar risg o erydu i

eiddo lleol, y boblogaeth leol ar isadeiledd lleol a

chenedlaethol. Maer cynigion yn anelun benodol at

ddiogelu eiddo masnachol a phreswyl ar hyd y bae, y

lein reilffordd o Gaer i Gaergybi, ffordd yr A55 ac

asedau presennol eraill ar hyd y glannau. Yn dilyn y

gwelliannau ir amddiffynfeydd arfordirol, maer

cyngor yn bwriadu gwneud gwelliannau

amgylcheddol ar hyd y rhodfa er mwyn cefnogi

cynlluniau i adfywio Bae Colwyn fel cyrchfan

ddymunol i dwristiaid a busnesau.

Pa atebion eraill sydd wedi cael euhystyried?

Mae ystyried atebion eraill yn rhan allweddol or

broses Asesiad Effaith Amgylcheddol. Yn aml gellir

osgoi effeithiau andwyol trwy ystyried technolegau

gwahanol, safleoedd gwahanol neu ffyrdd gwahanol

o gyflawnir gofynion. Gwnaed astudiaeth i ystyried

atebion eraill ir cynllun yn nhermau eu heffeithiau

amgylcheddol er mwyn gallu gwneud dewis cyfiawn

or cynllun terfynol. Yn yr astudiaeth gwerthuswyd

pum opsiwn, yn amrywio o senario Gwneud Dim, i

opsiynau i gadw a chynnal yr amddiffynfeydd

presennol, i opsiynau oedd yn gwella lefel y

diogelwch arfordirol.

Ystyrid mai dau opsiwn yn unig or rhai a

werthuswyd oedd yn cyflawnir prif nod i ddarparu

gwell amddiffynfeydd arfordirol, sef:

Opsiwn 1 - Codi gwrthglawdd cerrig llinellol ar hyd

ffryntiad cyfan Bae Colwyn.

Opsiwn 2 - Ailgyflenwi tywod, strwythur rheoli a

gwrthglawdd cerrig.

ASESIAD EFFAITH

Fframwaith Cynllunio

Maer cynllun, yn gyffredinol, yn cefnogi

amcanion polisi ar bob lefel cynllunio, yn arbennig

o safbwynt gwella amddiffynfeydd mr a lleihaur

risg o lifogydd. Hefyd, ystyrir bod adfywior

glannaun cefnogi amcanion polisi i adfywio Bae

Colwyn fel cyrchfan ddymunol i dwristiaid. Hefyd,

drwy wella lefel diogelwch a lleoliad asedau

treftadaeth, ystyrir bod y cynllun yn cael effaith

gadarnhaol ar amcanion polisi treftadaeth

ddiwylliannol. Ystyrir hefyd bod effeithiau

hirdymor y cynllun yn cefnogi amcanion polisi syn

gysylltiedig chadwraeth natur a rheolaeth

amgylcheddol. Bydd gwella diogelwch rhag

erydiad i isadeiledd cludiant yn cefnogi amcanion

polisi ar gyfer datblygu cysylltiadau cludiant

cynaliadwy yng Ngogledd Cymru.

Er efallai bod rhai effeithiau andwyol dros dro syn

groes i amcanion polisi yn ystod y gwaith

adeiladu, nid ystyrir bod y rhain yn arwyddocaol

yn yr hirdymor. Ystyrir bod effaith gyffredinol y

cynllun yn hwyluso gwelliannau i sefydlogrwydd

Opsiwn 2 a ddewiswyd fel yr opsiwn gorau; nid yn

unig gan ei fod yn gwella lefel diogelwch rhag

llifogydd, ond hefyd am ei fod yn hwyluso

gwelliannau amgylcheddol diweddarach ar hyd y

rhodfa ac yn cydlynu dyheadau adfywio

ehangach Bae Colwyn.

Y cynllun arfaethedig

Bydd y gwaith arfaethedig yn darparu

amddiffynfeydd arfordirol ar hyd ffryntiad Bae

Colwyn rhwng Llandrillo-yn-rhos a Hen Golwyn.

Ynghyd chynigion i wneud gwelliannau

amgylcheddol ir rhodfa, maer cynllun amddiffyn

arfordirol yn ffurfio hanner Prosiect Glannau Bae

Colwyn. Y nod yw cyflawnir gwaith fel tri phecyn

unigol o waith pryd a phan fo arian yn caniatu.

Mae arian wedi ei sicrhau ar hyn o bryd i

ddechraur gwaith peirianyddol cychwynnol o

fewn rhan 1 or cynllun. Bydd pob rhan or gwaith

yn cynnwys gwelliannau ir amddiffynfeydd

presennol ar rhodfa, gan adeiladu amddiffynfeydd

newydd yn lleol, strwythurau rheoli newydd ar y

traeth ac ailgyflenwir traeth.

Maer cynllun hefyd yn cynnwys camau rheoli yn y

dyfodol syn cynnwys trwsio a chynnal yr

amddiffynfeydd newydd ar rhodfa, rheoli ac

ychwanegu at ddeunydd ailgyflenwir traeth, clirio

tywod a chwythir or rhodfa ac ail-weithior

strwythurau er mwyn sicrhau safon gwasanaeth

digonol yn unol r codiad yn lefel y mr.

cymdeithasol ac economaidd Bae Colwyn, heb

unrhyw effeithiau negyddol gweddilliol o bwys ar

ansawdd dr neu aer, ar y lleoliad arfordirol

hanesyddol, neur amgylchedd oi gwmpas.

Prosesau Arfordirol

Gwnaed asesiad o effeithiaur datblygiad

arfaethedig ar brosesau arfordirol er mwyn lleihau

effaith y cynllun drwy fesurau lliniaru. Maer unig

effaith negyddol bychan a allai ddigwydd yn ystod

y gwaith adeiladun gysylltiedig newidiadau dros

dro neu leol i geryntau llanwol ac amodau tonnau.

Fodd bynnag, unwaith y bydd y cynllun yn

weithredol, ystyrir y bydd o fudd mawr i brosesau

arfordirol yn yr ardal. Bydd yn gwellar modd y

caiff gwaddod lleol ei gludo, yn sicrhau bod cyn

lleied phosibl o erydun digwydd ir traeth

newydd gan sicrhau cyflenwad o waddod i

draethau ir dwyrain o Fae Colwyn. Byddair

cynnydd yn lefelaur traeth hefyd yn lleihau

symudiad y tonnau yn erbyn yr amddiffynfeydd ac

fellyn lleihau achosion or mr yn codin uwch na

hwy a llifogydd ar y rhodfa.

Ecoleg

Yn y tymor byr, mae gan y cynllun y potensial i

effeithio ar adnoddau morol ecolegol yn sgil

ailgyflenwir traeth oherwydd bydd poblogaethau

presennol o rywogaethau fel cregyn gleision yn cael

eu mygu. Maen bosibl y bydd gwaith cynnal y

deunydd ailgyflenwi ar y traeth yn cael effaith

ychydig yn andwyol a pharhaol ar y poblogaethau

hyn, er y byddai rhywogaethau morol yn yr hirdymor

yn defnyddio cynefin newydd a grir yn y grwyn. O

safbwynt newidiadau hirdymor i ecoleg yr ardal,

maen debygol y gwelir newid o rywogaethau syn

hoff o is-haen feddal i rywogaethau syn hoff o is-

haen galed.

Tirwedd a Gweledol

Yn gyffredinol ystyrir bod effeithiaur cynllun ar y

dirwedd, y morlun ar treflun cyfagos yn gadarnhaol

oherwydd bod y traeth mewn gwell cyflwr a bod

cynnydd o ran cysylltedd gweledol rhwng y rhodfa

ar mr. Efallai bydd effeithiau gweledol ychydig yn

andwyol i breswylwyr lleol a defnyddwyr y rhodfa,

ffordd yr A55 ar rheilffordd yn ystod y gwaith

adeiladu yn sgil cludo deunydd ac offer adeiladu ar

raddfa fawr. Fodd bynnag, ni fydd yr effeithiau yn

barhaol ac ni ystyrir eu bod yn sylweddol yn yr

hirdymor.

Bydd y cynllun amddiffyn arfordirol yn hwylusor

broses o adfywio glannaur mr, fydd yn cynnwys

ardaloedd gweithgaredd wediu rhannun barthau

ar hyd y bae. Maer ardaloedd hyn yn debygol o fod

lefelau uwch o weithgaredd ymwelwyr ac o

ganlyniad gallai tawelwch rhai ardaloedd or bae

leihau yn ystod y gwaith. Fodd bynnag, caiff hyn ei

ystyried fel effaith gadarnhaol fel rhan o amcanion

cyffredinol i wella harddwch ac edrychiad gweledol

ardal y glannau.

Economaidd-gymdeithasol

Yn gyffredinol ystyrir y bydd y cynllun o fudd

sylweddol ir economi lleol a rhagwelir y bydd yn

gwella ansawdd bywyd i breswylwyr lleol. Byddair

gwelliannau ir traeth ar rhodfan creu amwynder

cyhoeddus newydd ac yn cynyddu cyfleoedd ar

gyfer gweithgareddau yn yr awyr agored fel beicio a

chwaraeon dr. Byddai hynny yn ei dron hybu

cynhwysiant cymdeithasol a ffyrdd iach o fyw. Bydd

adfywior glannau hefyd yn gwneud Bae Colwyn yn

gyrchfan fwy dymunol i dwristiaid a bydd yn gwella

hunaniaeth y dref, gan annog busnesau i adleoli ir

ardal.

Er efallai bydd effaith ychydig yn andwyol ar

fusnesau lleol a phreswylwyr yn ystod y gwaith

adeiladu pan darfir ar fynediad a phan fydd ffyrdd yn

cau o bryd iw gilydd, byddant yn elwan sylweddol

or cynnydd mewn diogelwch rhag llifogydd llanwol

ac yn sgil adfywior ardal yn gyffredinol.

Treftadaeth Ddiwylliannol

Dangosodd asesiad o effeithiau posibl y datblygiad

arfaethedig ar asedau treftadaeth y bydd y cynllun,

yn gyffredinol, yn rhoi diogelwch ychwanegol i

adeiladau ac eitemau sydd o bwysigrwydd

archeolegol a bydd yn gwella lleoliad asedau

treftadaeth. Tra bod trosolwg o effeithiau posibl y

cynllun ar asedau treftadaeth yn cael ei gynnwys yn

y Datganiad Amgylcheddol, bydd asesiad effaith

llawn yn cael ei gyflwyno fel adroddiad unigol yn

dilyn cyflwynor Datganiad Amgylcheddol.

Bydd y gwaith o ailgyflenwir traeth yn rhoi

diogelwch ychwanegol i Lanfa Victoria a hefyd bydd

yn gwella lleoliad yr ased treftadaeth hwn. Bydd

gwaddodion morol sydd o bwysigrwydd archeolegol

yn cael eu gorchuddio gan y deunydd newydd ar y

traeth a thrwy hynnyn cael eu diogelun well. Bydd

amddiffynfeydd arfordirol newydd yn diogelu

isadeiledd y rheilffordd hanesyddol, y strwythurau

amddiffyn presennol o waith maen ac adeiladau

sydd o bwysigrwydd archeolegol yng nghyffiniau

glannaur mr. Maer effeithiau ychydig yn andwyol,

dros dro a allai ddigwydd yn ystod gwaith adeiladun

cynnwys tarfu ar asedau treftadaeth sydd wedi eu

claddu yn ystod gwaith cloddio, ac effaith ychydig

yn andwyol ar eu hedrychiad gweledol.

Effeithiau Cronnus

Fel rhan or Datganiad Amgylcheddol, gwnaed

asesiad or effeithiau cronnol posibl drwy ystyried y

cynllun mewn perthynas phrif brosiectau eraill yn

yr ardal. Maer cynllun amddiffyn arfordirol yn un

hanner o Brosiect Glannau Bae Colwyn, maer rhan

arall yn gysylltiedig gwelliannau amgylcheddol ar

hyd y rhodfa. Mae prosiect allweddol arall syn

cynnwys cynigion adfywio ar gyfer canol y dref wedi

ei ystyried.

Ystyrir bod yr effeithiau cronnus cyffredinol yn

gadarnhaol, oherwydd bydd yr amddiffynfeydd

arfordirol newydd yn rhoi diogelwch ychwanegol

rhag llifogydd ir bae a hefyd mae'n cynnwys

cynigion i wneud gwelliannau amgylcheddol dilynol

ar hyd y rhodfa. Maer cynigion hyn yn cydlynu

chynigion adfywio ar gyfer canol y dref.

Ystyrir bod Prosiect Glannau Bae Colwyn, yn ogystal

r cynigion i adfywio canol y dref yn cefnogin gryf

amcanion polisi cynllunio cenedlaethol, rhanbarthol

a lleol a bydd yn gwellan fawr amgylchedd

economaidd-gymdeithasol y dref. Yn gyffredinol

ystyrir bod yr effeithiau cronnus ar yr amgylchedd

naturiol o fudd yn yr hirdymor, gan eu bod yn atal

erydu, yn creu ac yn gwarchod cynefinoedd ecolegol

ac yn sicrhau gwelliannau ir dirwedd weledol.

Rhagwelir y byddai rhai effeithiau ychydig yn

andwyol yn ystod y gwaith adeiladu ar yr

amgylchedd naturiol, y dreftadaeth ddiwylliannol ac

agweddau economaidd-gymdeithasol yn sgil

ymwthiant gweledol, tarfu dros dro ar asedau

treftadaeth a tharfu ar fusnesau lleol.

Fodd bynnag, yn gyffredinol byddai Prosiect

Glannau Bae Colwyn ac adfywio canol y dref yn

gweithio gydai gilydd i wella amgylcheddau naturiol

ac adeiledig Bae Colwyn a byddain codi proffil y dref

fel lle dymunol i fyw a gweithio ynddi.
