Minutes:

12.1    HHP/2020/37 – Full application for the erection of a private garage at Y Bwthyn, Llanddaniel

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee having been called in for the Committee’s consideration by a Local Member because it was felt the proposal complies with policies of the Joint Local Development Plan.

 

Councillor Robin Williams stated that as he now realised he was acquainted with the applicant he would not be taking part in the discussion or voting on the application.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that this is a retrospective application to retain a private garage at Y Bwthyn, Llanddaniel. The applicant confirms that the building is for private use and is required to house classic vehicles and a larger campervan which is owned by the applicant. The application site is located within a Special Landscape Area; the subject building in terms of scale, height and appearance is industrial and is typical of buildings that can be seen on industrial estates. Additionally, it is higher and has a greater floor area than the main dwelling house known as Y Bwthyn. Whilst there is no objection to the principle of the development, it is the Officer’s opinion that due to its industrial appearance and its height and scale the proposal is out of keeping with its context and does not complement or enhance the character of the site and is therefore contrary to Strategic Policy PS5, Policy PCYFF1 and Policy PCYFF3 of the Joint Local Development Pan. On this basis the recommendation is one of refusal.  One letter of objection to the proposal has been received which cites scale, appearance and location as the reasons for objecting.

 

Councillor Eric Wyn Jones, a Local Member spoke in support of the application and said  that the key issue is the proposal’s compliance with policies of the JLDP. It was his opinion that the proposed garage is suitably located in and amongst other dwellings on both sides and, being well screened by trees and shrubs, it is not visible from the road. A commercial bus and taxi business is run nearby which includes a large vehicle maintenance shed. The application is for a garage not commercial building which will sit tidily in its corner without impeding on anyone. Given that the applicant’s interest lies with classic vehicles the countryside location is essential for the proposal and is supported by Policy PCYFF1. Councillor Eric Jones referred further to Policies PCYFF2, PCYFF3, AMG2 and PPW and explained how he thought these policies supported the proposed development in terms of location, sustainability and in respecting the character of the surrounding area. Had he not believed this then he would not have called-in the application, nor would he be supporting it. The proposal meets the necessary requirements; the garage is needed to preserve vehicles which are of historical as well as monetary value. He therefore proposed that the application be approved contrary to the Officer’s recommendations.
