Anglesey development plans approved
A new £100m retail and leisure complex is set to be built at Ty Mawr on Anglesey, North Wales, after councillors gave the green light to plans submitted by developer Ynys Môn Estates.
Plans for the 55-acre (22.3-hectare) development near Llanfairpwll, which include a Cineworld multiplex cinema and a ten-pin bowling alley, were originally rejected by Anglesey Council in December. However, because the council's decision went against the recommendations of planning officers to approve the scheme, a one-month cooling period was implemented before the project was brought back before the full council on 30 January.
The Ty Mawr project also includes a health and fitness centre, restaurants and cafés. The complex has been designed to reflect the heritage and culture of Anglesey, with water features and a nature park incorporated into the plans. A spokesperson for Ynys Môn Estates said: "This is a unique destination which will add to the attraction of the island for visitors and tourists. Given the tourism sector already makes up one fifth of Anglesey's economy, this project will provide a great boost in revenues and add to the appeal of existing tourist attractions.
"It has taken over two years to complete this comprehensive planning application and we look forward to progressing with this project this year."
