COLWYN Bay’s shopping centre could undergo a major redevelopment, following a planning application being submitted to Conwy.
Michael Treanor of owners Moorfield Contracts Unlimited has applied to the council’s planning department, seeking permission to carry out work at the Bay View Centre.
The shopping centre first opened its doors back in 1987, but the owner now wants to modernise the building.
The plans include demolishing part of the storefront, bringing Morrisons to the fore, with plans for a restaurant, two cafes, and a gym.
The developer wants to form new shopfronts at the shopping centre’s eastern elevation, with the materials described as brick and glass.
The application includes a change of use, allowing the sale of food and drink, and a new ATM in front of the southern elevation.
The plans also include the reconfiguration of the surface-level car park to provide 93 parking spaces, including six accessible parking spaces, connecting from Sea View Road.
Colwyn Bay town councillor Tina Lee said: “I think it will be a good thing. The building needs revamping and modernising. It really needs a good facelift, as it’s been there for over 30 years. So that’s a long time, and it hasn’t had a facelift as far as I’m aware.”
The plans will likely be discussed at a future planning committee meeting at Conwy County Council’s Coed Pella HQ.
