7.2  33C295B – 4 Nant y Gors, Pentre Berw

7.3  34C553A – Ty’n Coed, Llangefni

7.1  33C304B/ECON – Outline application with some matters reserved for the demolition of the existing farm, erection of a science park, creation of a car park together with the creation of a new vehicular access at Junction 7 of the A55 (near Cefn Du), Gaerwen

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application is made on land in the ownership of the Council.

The Chair invited Mr. Einion Parry Williams, Vice-Chair of the Llanfihangel

Esceifiog Community Council to address the meeting as an objector to the

application. Mr. Williams drew attention to the following concerns of the local residents during a public meeting in the village in February 2015 :-

· Location – it will destroy the local heritage of village of Gaerwen;

· Sewerage – insufficient sewerage capacity available;

· Transport – would have detrimental impact on traffic in Gaerwen.

Members of the Committee asked several questions of Mr. Williams in

clarification in respect of the location of the site and the reasons why local

residents object to the proposal. Mr. Williams responded that the application entails the demolition of existing historical farm outbuildings which would be unacceptable. Questions were raised regarding sewerage and drainage issues by Members. Mr. Williams responded that the site is saturated with rain water during wet weather and usually floods neighbouring highways.   Further questions were raised by Members in respect of traffic issues raised by residents. Mr. Williams responded that heavy traffic still travels through the village of Gaerwen despite the construction of the A55. He noted that the Industrial Estate generates traffic continuously through the village.

The Chair invited Mr. Pryderi ap Rhisiart representing Bangor University to address the meeting in support of the application. He noted that Ms. Hayley Knight from Bilfinger GVA was available to answer any technical issues the Committee may wish to clarify. Mr. Pryderi ap Rhisiart drew attention to the following matters :-

· A Science Park is different to business parks and industrial estates. A

Science park focuses on sharing facilities and often attracts small and

medium size businesses i.e. research businesses;

· The Science Park will afford employment opportunities to local young people and quality jobs;

· Like most Science Parks this proposal would have strong links with Bangor University. The focus will be on environmental technology and low carbon institutions which reflects the strengths of the University together with obvious links with the Energy Island of the Council;

· The site has been chosen as this is the best location due to the land acreage available and closeness to the A55 and Bangor University. A number of other sites were considered within Anglesey and Gwynedd. The site will be the only designated site on Anglesey as note in the Local Development Plan;

· A number of technical matters have been assessed carefully which include highways, flood risk, visual effect, ecology and the economic impact. The technical reports have been accepted by the Council together with the statutory organisations;

· Although the proposal is in outline  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.
