12.1    FPL/2019/7 – Full Application for the erection of a new primary school together with the creation of a new vehicular access onto the B5109 on land opposite Bryn Meurig, Llangefni

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application is being made on behalf of the Isle of Anglesey County Council.

The Planning Development Manager reported that seven responses by the public were received as part of the statutory public consultation process the substance of which is summarised in the report. A number of comments were also made as part of the 28 days statutory Pre-Application consultation. Llangefni Town Council has now submitted detailed comments and have requested that as part of the proposal, a 20pmh zone be created in the vicinity of the new school, a pedestrian crossing be installed near the roundabout,  a pedestrian footway be created near the former shop site in Rhostrehwfa, sufficient street lighting be provided, and as the Cae Garw Road is prone to flooding appropriate attention is given to maintaining ditches, and the school playing field is made available for community use outside of school hours. The Officer said that whilst the proposal does already provide for a pedestrian crossing, footpath and street lighting it the Highways Authority’s view that a reduction in the speed limit from 30 to 20 mph in the immediate area of the school is not necessary because of the traffic calming and mitigation measures proposed as part of the development. The need to maintain ditches is accepted and it is confirmed that the playing field under the school’s management will be available for the local community out of school hours.

The need for a new school and the location proposed have been confirmed and justified by the assessments and extensive consultations undertaken by the Learning Service prior to the submission of the planning application. In terms of potential impacts, the written report addresses the areas where the proposal is likely to have the greatest effect particularly as regards traffic which is the focus of most of the concerns raised locally. A Traffic Impact Assessment has been submitted which is acceptable to the Highways Authority and traffic mitigation measures are proposed. The impacts on local biodiversity in relation to the protection of bats and Great Crested Newts can also be satisfied through the implementation of mitigation measures proposed through the relevant surveys submitted as part of the application. However, it is likely that an additional condition in relation to the lighting of the site will be necessary in order to mitigate against any potential effects on bats. The design, landscaping and impacts on the amenity of neighbouring properties are deemed to be satisfactory subject to implementing the measures outlined in the report. The proposal as submitted addresses comments made by consultees including the concerns raised locally during the pre-application and statutory consultation processes. The recommendation is therefore to approve the application.

In considering the application, the Committee referred to concerns in relation to  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12
