I wish to object to this proposal on the grounds of the potential adverse impact it will have on tourism in Llandudno, a vital source of income not just for Llandudno residents but for Conwy County. Llandudno has preserved so much of its Victorian architectural history and because of this, attracts a great many tourists from the UK and beyond. The construction of more wind turbines stretching right across the bay would jar with the town's pride in its preservation of history and make it even more difficult to attract tourists than it presently is. I recognise the need for renewable energy generation but I question why such a picturesque and sensitive location needs has been chosen for this project, and have seen nothing to justify why this location is so perfect for the turbines.
