7.1       14LAPA1010/CC – Outline application for the erection of a dwelling with all matters reserved on land at Cefn Trefor, Trefor

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it has been submitted by the Local Authority and is on Council owned land.

The Development Management Team Leader reported that the application was deferred by the Committee at its 13 May meeting pending the receipt of further information from the applicant regarding the visibility splay from the proposed access. That information has since been provided and confirmed by the Highways Department as acceptable. The application is an outline application for a dwelling in a Policy 50 area; a policy implementation note on a new interpretation of Policy 50 has been issued but following discussion within the Planning Service and the receipt of legal advice, no weight is being given to the implementation note at present so the application is being considered under Policy 50 as it stands. The Officer added that in accepting the visibility splay a Certificate B has been completed and notice subsequently served on the landowner which runs until 18th June, 2014. Should the application be approved therefore, the consent will not be released until the expiration of the notice period and any new matters that may arise as a result will be reported to the Committee.

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

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

7.2       16C197A – Full application for the demolition of the existing shed together with the erection of a new dwelling and creation of a new vehicular access on land adjacent to Dridwen, Bryngwran

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a serving councillor as defined in paragraph 4.6.10.2 of the Council’s Constitution. The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under the said paragraph.

Having declared a prejudicial interest in this application, Councillors Victor Hughes and Nicola Roberts withdrew from the meeting during the discussion and determination thereof.

Mrs Beryl Dickinson, an objector to the application  was invited by the Chair to address the Committee as a public speaker. Mrs Dickinson said that she was speaking on behalf of the Well Street Committee and the owner of Dridwen and that they were concerned by the proposal for the following reasons :

•           Overdevelopment of the site by a building that is out of character in both size and style being a modern town house.

•           Severe detriment to the amenities of the residents of neighbouring properties due to the height and siting of the proposed new dwelling being in close proximity to those properties and giving rise to privacy and loss of light issues .

•           Unresolved issues regarding a party wall and land ownership.

•           Access issues with regard to the private road  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

(Report to follow)

11.1    22C224 – Outline application for the erection of a dwelling together with full details of the access on land adjacent to Tan y Ffordd Isaf, Llanddona

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee because the applicant is related to a member of staff within the Council’s Planning and Public Protection Department. The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under paragraph 4.6.10.4 of the Council’s Constitution.

The Planning Development Team Leader reported that the recommendation in the Officer’s written report to refuse the application is made on the basis of the Policy 50 implementation note and, given that no weight is currently being given to the implementation note, the recommendation is now to defer consideration of the application to reconsider the application in light of Policy 50.

It was resolved to defer consideration of the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation for the reason given.

11.2    4583C/DEL – Application under Section 73 for the removal of condition (05) (workshop shall be used for the benefit of Mr T.W.Owen and when no longer required by him shall be used for the purpose of agriculture) from planning permission reference 45C83A (erection of a workshop) at Trewen, Penlon, Newborough

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a relevant officer. The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer.

The Planning Development Team Leader reported that the original consent dates back to 1989 and followed a similar application for a workshop that was refused on account of its potential effects on amenities. In granting consent to the application in 1989 a planning condition was placed thereon restricting the use of the workshop to Mr T.W.Owen, and the applicant was also required to enter into a section 52 agreement that should the shed no longer be required by him or by his son (the latter stipulation being at variance with the wording of the planning condition), it would revert to agricultural use in association with the 6.5. acre holding. Two letters of objection to the deletion of the personal condition have been received and these are on the basis of concerns

regarding the potential intensification of use at the site. The Officer said that there is already a noise limiting condition on the consent and that will remain effective. The recommendation is to approve the application.

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

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

The Legal Services Manager advised at this juncture that as the Committee had now been in session for three hours (application 13.1 having been brought forward for consideration earlier in the Committee’s order of business), under the provisions of paragraph 4.1.10 of the Council’s Constitution, a resolution was required by the majority of those Members of the Committee  ...  view the full minutes text for item 11.

12.3    25C28C – Full application for the demolition of the existing public house and associated buildings at The Bull Inn, Llanerchymedd

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it has been called in by a Local Member.

The Planning Development Team Leader reported that the application was received originally as prior notification of the intention to demolish the existing public house and associated buildings in order to check whether the Council requires prior approval of the method and details of demolition. It is this requirement which is the subject of consideration. The Officer said that the proposed demolition has generated a great deal of concern locally because the building is considered to be of historic significance to the locality. Information has been received regarding the method of demolition and the subsequent restoration of the site to which the occupant of the neighbouring property has objected on account of party wall concerns. In terms of the proposed method of demolition and site restoration, the recommendation is to approve the application.

Councillor John Griffith spoke in his capacity as a Local Member and clarified that comments about the “town already dying” attributed to him by the written report at section 3 had not in fact been made by him, and that he believed the opposite to be true  - that the village with its  conscientious community council, its bright and confident primary school and its host of industrious and busy organisations is an excellent model for other communities on how to flourish and progress for the betterment of the community. In calling in the application he referred to the following:
