An application to demolish Colwyn Bay’s listed Victoria Pier has been refused by the Welsh Government, though an attempt to regain ownership of the pier from a former owner has failed.
While Conwy County Borough Council planners granted conditional permission for the substantial demolition of the pier and retention of 76 stanchions, while supporting another application for listed building demolition consent in June, the application was referred to Welsh Government and after reviewing it, Carl Sargeant AM, Minister, has refused listed building consent.
