7.1          15C215C – Full application for the erection of a dwelling together with the installation of a septic tank on land adjacent to Tyddyn Bwrtais, Llangadwaladr

(Having declared an interest in the application, Councillor T. Victor Hughes was not present during the consideration and determination thereof).

Councillor Ann Griffith stood down as Chair of the Committee for this

application in order to address the matter as a Local Member. The Vice-Chair chaired the item.

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a Local Member.  At the meeting held on 5 October, 2016 the Committee resolved that a site visit should take place and this was subsequently carried out on 19 October, 2016.

Councillor Ann Griffith, a Local Member said that there are no objections to the application locally.  She noted that the application site is located within the periphery of the village of Llangadwaladr.  Llangadwaladr is a listed settlement under Policy 50 of the Ynys Môn Local Plan and under HP5 of the Stopped Unitary Development Plan.  She believed that approving this application would not have an adverse effect on the landscape and that it is an appropriate landfill.  Councillor Griffith referred to the reference within the Officer’s report to the effect of such a development on the AONB; she was of the opinion that a dwelling in this location would not have a negative effect on the AONB.

Councillor Peter Rogers, a Local Member said that the applicant cares for his elderly mother who lives at Tyddyn Bwrtais.  The dwelling has been in the family for over a century.  At present the applicant lives in a caravan on the site.  Councillor Rogers said that a condition could be enforced on any approval of the application to restrict any further development of the land.

The Planning Development Manager stated that due to the distances between the proposed dwelling and the developed part of the hamlet, the proposal is not considered as an acceptable infill application and would leave a gap between the village and the dwelling.  The application site is located within an AONB area.  The recommendation was to refuse the application.

Councillor K.P. Hughes said that Llangadwaladr is a listed settlement where single plots can be approved; a pattern of such dwellings already exist in the village of Llangadwaladr.  He proposed that the application be approved.  Councillor Jeff Evans seconded the proposal. 

Councillor Lewis Davies said that such a development can have an adverse effect on the landscape and the AONB.  He proposed that the application be refused in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.  Councillor John Griffith seconded the proposal.

Following the subsequent vote it was RESOLVED to approve the application contrary to the Officer’s recommendation as it was considered that the application conforms with Policy 50.
