Great News For Llandudno Pier
November 3, 2021
Well done to Adam Williams owner of Llandudno Pier, who has just secured the purchase of The former Pavilions site which burnt down a number of years ago.
The previous owner had plans approved to build a huge carbuncle block of flats that would have seriously damaged tourism at the landmark Pier.
Here is the article from the Daily Post below,
Llandudno's Pier Pavilion site has been sold after going up for sale last month with a guide price of £2.8m.
The site which has lain empty for 23-years after the old pavilion was destroyed by fire.
It had been earmarked for the development of luxury apartments and restaurants by developer Alan Waldron - with the latest controversial application facing a call-in request to Welsh Government planning inspectors.
But last month in a surprise move, Mr Waldron, put the site up for auction, and bidding was set to start on November 9.
But a sale has now been announced.
Adam Williams, who owns Llandudno Pier and Tir Prince in Towyn, has confirmed that he is buying the site and has spoken about his plans for the land.
He had been a fierce opponent of the flats scheme with fears over its potential impact on the pier.

Speaking to North Wales Live, Adam said: "Tir Prince Leisure Group are delighted to announce that they have secured the purchase of the land at Llandudno Pier Pavilion following negotiations with the current owners.
"Given the close proximity to The Pier and the fact that until 1980 they were in the same ownership and formed part of the same parcel of land it was an easy and straightforward decision to make the purchase having had many worthwhile meetings with the Pavilion owner over the last few months."
"Tir Prince Leisure Group hopes that the acquisition of this site will enable us to secure the long term future of Llandudno Pier and Llandudno as the jewel in the crown of North Wales tourism by enhancing and improving our current offering and ensuring that the site can continue to be enjoyed by many future generations.

"In many ways the hard work starts now but we are confident that we can do something extremely worthwhile with the site and further announcements will follow in due course."
The sale comes as opponents of the Llandudno Pier Pavilion development had planned a protest prior to the auction.
Speaking to one of the petition's organisers, David Jones he said: "Having been informed that Llandudno Pier owner Adam Williams has acquired the former Pier Pavilion site prior to auction is great.
"This is obviously fantastic news for all involved with our campaign, our supporters and those thousands that signed our petitions to stop the apartment's development.
"It now looks as though Llandudno Pier Pavilion may, at last, rise from the ashes and be developed for it's rightful purpose, tourism and leisure, thus securing the long-term future of Llandudno's Grade 2 listed Victorian Pier.
"On behalf of our group, I would like to offer congratulations to Adam Williams and Tir Prince on this momentous moment in Llandudno's history."

One kiosk has been ripped from its foundations while others have suffered roof damage. But the biggest fear is once high tide is reached at the resort.

Wind speeds are expected to remain at close to 70mph in Llandudno for much of the afternoon, with gales blowing in from the north. Adam Williams, of Tir Prince, who has owned the site since 2015, said: "The weather is biblical. We have never known it so bad. The tide still has a long way to come in yet, if it survives it will be a miracle. "I am thankful we spent so much money over the summer reinforcing the underneath.
