12.1  17C226H – Full application for alterations and extensions to Gernant, Lôn Ganol, Llandedgan

Having declared a prejudicial interest in the application Councillor John Griffith withdrew from the meeting during determination and voting thereon.

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of two local members. 

Mr. Arwyn Williams, the applicant spoke in favour of his application.  He said that in October 2016 his application for alterations and extensions to Gernant was refused as the main concern was to increase the size of the original outbuilding.  He has addressed the concerns of the Committee and therefore has reduced the size of the extension which is considered acceptable for a family of five.  Mr. Williams referred to the Officer’s report which states that ‘it is not considered that the proposal would have a negative impact upon the amenities of adjacent residential properties’ and ‘ whilst accepting that it can be argued that the current proposals do enhance the appearance of the building’ this is important with regard to Planning Policy 55.  He said that three of the Local Members supports the application together with the local Community Council; the Assembly Member is also in support of the application. 

Mr. Williams said that his property Gernant is located between two large dwellings and his proposal would not have a detrimental effect on neighbouring properties; there is adequate land between Gernant and the nearby highway.  He noted that the proposal is only to fill a gap between the house and the garage.

Councillor Carwyn Jones, a Local Member spoke in support of the application.  He said that local people need to be supported as the applicant has compromised with regard to the size of the alterations and extension to his property.  He noted that this application is for a young family of 5.   The Community Council is in support of the application.  Councillor Jones said that this application is worthy of support for a local young family to have an adequate home. 

Councillor Lewis Davies, a Local Member and a Member of the Planning and Orders Committee agreed with his fellow elected Member that this application does not harm the amenities of neighbouring properties and not within an AONB area.  He fully supported the application which he considered could be approved within Planning Policy 55.  Councillor Lewis Davies proposed that the application be approved and Councillor Vaughan Hughes seconded the proposal. 

The Chief Planning Officer stated that the reason for refusal is the increase in the floor area which is beyond the criteria of the planning policies and is located in open countryside.  The recommendation is of refusal.
