A huge residential development close to the seaside in Llandudno has residents of the upmarket enclave up in arms and now they have started a campaign to block its construction.
Cape Town – Kiki Smith, a member of the Llandudno Property Owners and Residents, said: “The Llandudno Ratepayer Organisation, the Llandudno Civic Association , has submitted an objection to the proposed development.
“Whilst the LCA does support the City’s policy of densification, it should be borne in mind that Llandudno falls outside of the areas within Cape Town earmarked for densification, and hence this policy cannot be used to justify the proposed development. “We further believe that the proposed development is out of character for a single residential suburb,” said Smith.
What first unleashed the ire of residents was that a 60-year-old building was demolished recently to make way for the residential development.
