10.1    VAR/2018/14 – Application under Section 73A for the variation of condition (07)(Approved Plans) from planning permission reference 33C102G (Erection of 3 dwellings on plot 8, 9 and 10) to increase the size and amend site orientation to become 4 bed dwellings together with amending parking layouts at Plots 8,9 and 10, The Herb Garden, Llain Capelulo, Pentre Berw, Gaerwen

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the proposal is contrary to policies of the Joint Local Development Plan but which the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the proposal entails reducing the size of two dwellings and increasing the size of one dwelling previously approved on the site as well as re-locating this dwelling within the plot. Planning permission for a housing estate on the site was given originally in 2006 with further consent for dwellings on Plots 8, 9 and 10 being granted in 2008. The application does not comply with the requirements of Policy TAI 6 in being for open market houses when under Policy TAI 6 Pentre Berw is identified as a cluster where proposals can be supported for affordable housing for local need. However, a provision for affordable housing forms part of the current estate. One letter of objection has been received on the grounds outlined in the report. Given that the site has extant planning permission and given that the amendments proposed are not considered to be a deterioration of the design and layout approved under the previous permission and do not have an impact on the adjacent residential properties over and above what has previously been approved on the application site, the recommendation is to approve the application. The Officer said that the planning consent if granted would not be released until after the expiry of the consultation period at the close of today, 6 March, 2019.    

Councillor Bryan Owen proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation. The proposal was seconded by Councillor Robin Williams.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report subject to the planning conditions contained therein and subject to no new matters being raised before the expiry of the consultation period at the close of 6 March, 2019.
