Cartrefi Conwy, in partnership with Grŵp Llandrillo Menai, has submitted a planning application to redevelop the former Bee Hotel site in Abergele, transforming it into a state-of-the-art educational hub. This ambitious project is a major step forward in the Abergele Western Gateway regeneration, creating new opportunities for learning, community engagement, and economic growth.
Currently, Coleg Llandrillo operates from Faenol Avenue, Abergele, but with its lease expiring in August 2026, a new, purpose-built facility is essential. This proposal builds on the success of the temporary community space already established on the site, highlighting the area’s potential for revitalization.
A Hub for Learning and Economic Growth
If approved, the new college will offer lifelong learning opportunities, with a focus on British Sign Language education and professional skills development. The relocation will also bring economic benefits to the town, with students and staff supporting local businesses and enhanced transport links will improve accessibility to Abergele’s town centre.

Blending Heritage with Sustainability
A key part of the project is honouring Abergele’s architectural heritage while ensuring the site is fit for the future. The new building will:
- ➡️Reflect the character of the Conservation Area.
- ➡️Reuse materials from the former Bee Hotel where possible.
- ➡️Feature modern, green technologies to achieve Net Zero Carbon and BREEAM Excellent sustainability standards.
Cartrefi Conwy Group CEO Andrew Bowden, said “This development is about so much more than bricks and mortar, it’s an opportunity to create a sustainable, community-focused space that will benefit Abergele for generations to come.”
Cartrefi Conwy is committed to engaging with the local community and other stakeholders throughout this process.
