For those who have not sent in an objection yet here are the details that you will need
Please use your own words
remember to state :
I object !
The planning application is :
RM/2026/2
π’ IMPORTANT UPDATE, OBJECTIONS FORΒ RM/2026/2βοΈ
β IS THERE A DEADLINE?
At this moment, NO formal deadline has been officially announced yet. The consultation is still open, and objections will be accepted right up until the application goes before the Planning Committee. β
The application has been called in by Councillor Pip O'Neill, meaning it WILL be decided by elected councillors at a public Planning Committee meeting, not just by officers behind closed doors. That gives us every reason to keep submitting objections right up to that meeting date.
β
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:
πΉ Reference Number: RM/2026/2. Always put this at the TOP of every email or letter.
πΉ What it is: Reserved Matters application for Penrhos Coastal Park. NOT the original 2016 outline permission.
πΉ What's proposed: 500 lodges, water park, spa, restaurants, with MAJOR changes from what was agreed in 2016
πΉ Key concerns:
β’ β Public access REMOVED from large areas people have walked freely for decades.
β’ β Car parking INCREASED from 600 to 1,015 cars, a 70% rise.
β’ β Massive tree-felling in one of Anglesey's precious woodlands. Were itβs been stated in the media. we already suffer with the lowest tree coverage in the whole of the UK.
β’ β Water supply UNCERTAIN. Welsh Water's capacity hasn't been confirmed.
β’ β Traffic chaos on A5 & London Road, no proper highways assessment.
β’ β Owner in administration, sold off, developers gone, promises mean nothing.
πΉ Where to send objections:
π§ Email: planning@anglesey.gov.wales
βοΈ Post: Planning Department, Isle of Anglesey County Council, Llangefni, LL77 7TW
πΉ What to include:
β’ β
RM/2026/2 clearly at the top
β’ β
Your full name & address (objections without this CANNOT be accepted)
β’ β
Say "I OBJECT to this application"
β’ β
List your reasons, you don't need to be an expert! Write from your heart: public access, trees, wildlife, traffic, water, heritage
β’ β
You do NOT need to live on Anglesey. anyone can object.
β° MOST IMPORTANT MESSAGE:
DO NOT WAIT! Even without a set deadline, submit your objection NOW. Once it's scheduled for Committee, the Council may close comments, so don't delay. Every single letter, email, and voice counts. Councillors WILL read these before they vote.
π‘ REMINDER:
This is NOT a done deal. The original 2016 permission was outlined only, these Reserved Matters are NOT the same plan. The changes are so significant that they should be treated as an entirely new application. We are fighting to SAVE Penrhos as a public nature reserve. FOR THE PEOPLE, NOT FOR DEVELOPERS. π³πͺπ³πͺπ³πͺπ³πͺπ
Please share this post. and ask every single person you know to write in. Together, our voices CAN and WILL be heard! βπΏ

π¬ Film screening + discussion β everyone welcome!
π Why this matters for Penrhos & Ynys MΓ΄n
The proposed development at Penrhos is extremely detrimental to our climate and our islandβs future. Felling hundreds of mature trees, clearing vital woodland, and destroying established nature reserve habitat will only bring long-term harm to Anglesey.
β’ π² Trees are our natural carbon sinks, we cannot afford to lose them.
β’ π Protecting our land is the most important action for our local climate.
β’ πΎ Penrhos isnβt just βlandβ, itβs a vital ecosystem, home to red squirrels, birds, and so much wildlife.
β’ π₯ We cannot claim to care about the climate while allowing precious green spaces to be bulldozed for lodges, car parks, and commercial development
π£οΈ Come along, learn, share, stand together
This is a chance to hear the facts, understand the bigger picture, and stand with our community to say:
Penrhos must stay, our trees, our nature, our climate, our future!
Tickets Only Β£4! ALL welcome. Bring friends, bring family, bring your passion for our island π

Please help STAUNCH reach our fundraising target at #CrowdJustice to defending the #HabitatsRegulations to ensure they are upheld in the UK. Defending #EnvironmentLaw in court protects the future of all British wildlife tomorrow

Can you circulate this petition widely in Sheffield?
Dark patches on the petition map are where the most signatures are. Not many have signed in #Sheffield. Fight back!
Pause housebuilding targets imposed on councils, review and identify local need

Nature news is being stifled on here. It is unfair and we need to get as many people as possible to learn more about wildlife and the environment as possible.
It is the only way for people to protect nature.
Can I please ask followers to share/like or comments on nature posts? π

Such a magical place Penrhos, it should be for
us and the wild life with the red squirrels.
Not fat cats getting their greedy fat hands on
it build on the beauty that was and make
them selves rich. Really awful lot, this must
not happen. Save Penrhos the most lovely.

Somewhere between 75 and 80% of Britain's barn owls now have to nest in a box somebody built for them. One man has built 350 of them.
The reason the number is that high is that almost everything they used to nest in is gone. Hollow trees came down. Old barns got converted into houses or replaced with sealed steel sheds.
The rough field margins where voles live got farmed right to the edge, so even where a bird finds a site there's often nothing to feed a brood.
Add road deaths and rodenticide moving up from poisoned mice, and the species spent most of a century sliding toward extinction.
Robert Salter, a bricklayer from Camerton in East Yorkshire, has been working to save the barn owl for 35 years. He has no grants, no formal organization, no funding. He started at 21 after watching a news segment about a man in Lincolnshire putting up owl boxes.
Every June he takes four weeks off work, unpaid, and does the rounds with his wife Sue. Up ladders into farm sheds and trees, checking boxes, repairing them, weighing and ringing owlets under a British Trust for Ornithology license. He built a brick owl tower in his own garden, and a pair in it raised five young this year.
Last season he ringed 308 owlets. The year before it was 95.
That jump was mostly due to voles. Barn owl breeding tracks field vole numbers, which boom and crash on their own schedule, and 2025 was a boom year in his patch. Across the rest of England it was a poor season, dry spring, thin grass, not enough cover for voles.
That's what a box does. It doesn't create owls. It makes sure that when the food is there, there's somewhere to raise a brood, and the good year actually converts into more birds.
"I don't see it as a hobby," he told the Yorkshire Post. "I see it as my duty. As long as I can keep doing it I will keep doing it."

It must be saved.
Penrhos is a unique site, it has a variety of wildlife living and visiting
They will have their habitat destroyed so another holiday tourist village can be built ( itβs not a need ) Ynys MΓ΄n /Anglesey has plenty of places to stay for holiday makers who come for the beautiful wildlife habitats and the landscapes/seascapes dark skies.Tourists come from built up areas to Ynys MΓ΄n /Anglesey they come to escape from the hustle bustle of daily life to relax in nature.
Destroying what brings tourists to the island doesnβt make sense !

π’ FANTASTIC NEWS. HARRI, ZACH & BERTIE MEET WITH RHUN AP IORWERTH! π’
Yesterday Harri, Zach and Bertie had the privilege of meeting with First Minister Rhun ap Iorwerth again, to talk all about saving Penrhos and the amazing work theyβve been doing to help protect our beloved nature reserve. π
Rhun spoke about how vital it is to keep Penrhos in the public eye, to keep reminding everyone just how much this special place means to our community. He praised the boys for their incredible fundraising efforts, but also emphasised that simply talking about Penrhos and making our voices heard is incredibly powerful.
He encouraged them, and all of us, not to give up, even when the campaign feels difficult. We must keep making the strong case for why Penrhos deserves to be protected. He highlighted practical steps: raising funds towards legal costs, continuing to spread the word, and making sure everyone remembers just how unpopular the loss of Penrhos really is.
π¬ "We wonβt not win because we havenβt tried."
Rhun ap Iorwerth
confirmed that while the 2016 outline planning was passed, he agrees the fundamental changes now being proposed are on OUR side. Those massive shifts mean this is no longer the plan that was agreed, and that is exactly why we must keep fighting. β
The boys came away more determined than ever to keep fighting for Penrhos to remain protected for future generations.
π YOUR VOICE MATTERS! PLEASE ACT NOW!
If you havenβt sent your objection to RM/2026/2, please do it today! Ask every family member, every friend to write in too. Every single objection counts. This campaign matters, and we are not giving up. πͺ

π’ NEWYDD GWYBODAETHUS, CYFARFUDD HARRI, ZACH A BERTIE Γ RHU AP IORWERTH! π’
Ddoe, cafodd Harri, Zach a Bertie y fraint o gyfarfod Γ’'r Prif Weinidog Rhun ap Iorwerth i siarad am achub Penrhos a'r gwaith arbennig maent yn ei wneud i amddiffyn ein gwarchodfa natur. π
Siaradodd Rhun pa mor bwysig yw cadw Penrhos yng ngolwg y cyhoedd, parhau i atgoffa pawb pa mor fawr yw arwyddocΓ’d y lle arbennig hwn i'n cymuned. Canmolodd y bechgyn am eu hymdrechion codi arian, a dywedodd bod parhau i siarad am Penrhos a chodi ein llais yn hynod bwysig.
Fe'u hanogodd, a phob un ohonom, i beidio Γ’ rhoi'r gorau, hyd yn oed pan fo'r ymgyrch yn anodd. Rhaid inni barhau i ddangos pam y dylid amddiffyn Penrhos. Tynnodd sylw at gamau ymarferol: codi arian ar gyfer costau cyfreithiol, lledaenu'r neges, a gwneud yn siΕ΅r bod pawb yn gwybod pa mor annerbyniol yw colli Penrhos.
π¬ "Fyddwn ni ddim yn methu oherwydd na wnaethon ni geisio.", Rhun ap Iorwerth
Cadarnhaodd Rhun, er bod y cynllunio amlinellol o 2016 wedi'i basio, ei fod yn cytuno bod y newidiadau sylweddol a gynigir nawr ar ein hochr ni. Mae'r newidiadau mawr hyn yn golygu nad dyma'r un cynllun, a dyna pam rhaid inni barhau i ymladd. β
Daeth y bechgyn yn Γ΄l yn fwy penderfynol nag erioed i barhau i ymladd dros Penrhos ar gyfer cenedlaethau'r dyfodol.
π MAE EICH LLAIS YN CYFRIF! GWEITHREDWCH NAWR!
Os nad ydych wedi anfon eich gwrthwynebiad i RM/2026/2, gwnewch hynny heddiw! Gofynnwch i'ch teulu a'ch ffrindiau wneud yr un peth. Mae pob gwrthwynebiad yn cyfrif. Nid ydym yn rhoi'r gorau iddi. πͺ
