7.1 FPL/2021/7 – Full application for the retention and completion of the agricultural shed together with the installation of a soakaway on land at Prysan Fawr, Bodedern

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a “relevant officer” as defined within paragraph 4.6.10.2 of the Council’s Constitution. The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under paragraph 4.6.10.4 of the Constitution. At its meeting held on 3 March, 2021, the Committee resolved to carry out a site visit prior to determining the application.  A virtual site inspection was subsequently conducted on 17 March, 2021.

Having declared an interest in this application, Councillor John Griffith was not present for the discussion or voting thereon.

The Development Management Manager reported that the application is a retrospective application to retain and complete the agricultural shed that has been erected on the land together with the installation of a soakaway.  At the time of writing the report, one letter of representation had been received which raises the issues documented in the report. The subject building has been partially constructed to the rear of the Grade II Listed Buildings which form part of a complete farmstead group with the property, and despite initial concerns about its impact on the setting of the listed buildings on account of the colour of the cladding in which the building was to be finished, the Council’s Heritage Advisor has since confirmed that the scheme is acceptable following amendments which will see the building finished in grey rather than green external cladding thereby reducing its impact against the listed building. The Landscape Advisor has offered no objections it being considered that the siting, scale and materials to be used in the final construction of the building will ensure a form of development which assimilates well within the landscape whilst also being sympathetic to the listed buildings which lie opposite the application site. Subject to the use of the external cladding material as recommended by the Heritage Advisor, the recommendation is therefore one of approval.

Councillor Kenneth Hughes said that he had been contacted with regard to concerns about the proximity of the agricultural shed to the listed buildings and was grateful to the Committee for acceding to the request for a virtual site visit as he believed it appropriate - this being a retrospective application and the shed having been partially erected - that Members should gain a view of the application site themselves. Having seen the site and proposal virtually, he agreed with the Officer’s assessment, and although the shed is closer to the listed buildings than it might have been had the correct planning process been followed, he did not believe its effects are such as to warrant refusal and he was therefore happy to propose that the application be approved. The proposal was seconded by Councillor Eric Jones.
