APPROVED with conditions

10.1    34C700 – Full allocation for the erection of an affordable dwelling together with the installation of a package treatment plant on land adjacent to 1 Tyn Pwll, Rhostrehwfa

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee because the application is a departure from the Ynys Môn Local Plan and Stopped Unitary Development Plan which the Planning Authority is minded to approve.

The Chief Planning Officer reported that the recommendation of approval is based on the Draft Interim Planning Policy – Housing in Rural Clusters adopted by the Council in December 2011 to ensure that the Local Planning Authority maintains a 5 year housing land supply until the Joint Local Development Plan for Ynys Môn and Gwynedd is adopted. The interim policy applies to applications for single affordable housing within named clusters provided that they are acceptable in terms of other material considerations applicable in each individual case. With regard to the application, an affordability assessment has been undertaken by the Council’s Affordable Housing Officer which confirms that the applicant is in need of an affordable dwelling. The proposal is also considered acceptable as regards other material planning considerations including its design and its siting.

Councillor Lewis Davies proposed that the application be approved and the proposal was seconded by Councillor Victor Hughes.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions set out in the written report and the signing of a Section 106 agreement requiring the dwelling to be affordable.

10.2    35C262C – Full application for the erection of a dwelling and detached garage on land adjacent to Tyn Pwll, Llangoed

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee because the application is a departure from the Ynys Môn Local Plan and Stopped Unitary Development Plan which the Planning Authority is minded to approve.

The Chief Planning Officer reported that the principle of a dwelling has been established with the granting of planning permission albeit contrary to the recommendation made by the Officers. The differences between this proposal and that approved in 2012 relate to design, height and footprint with the proposed new dwelling being 1.1 m higher than the original but having a reduced footprint (126.2 metres square as opposed to 239.8 metres square originally).Bearing in mind that there is an extant permission on the site the proposal is considered acceptable.

Councillor Kenneth Hughes proposed that the application be approved and the proposal was seconded by Councillor Jeff Evans.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions set out in the written report.
