The Chair invited Mr. Jamie Bradshaw to address the Committee in support of the application and he made the following points :-

•  The site is set within the development boundary for Pentraeth in the Stopped Unitary Development Plan, which is a key material consideration for this application as it confirms that the site is set within the village;

•  In respect of local residents concerns as to the effect of the proposal on highway safety, it is clear that this modest proposal would generate only a

small amount of vehicle movements, and would not impact upon the safety or operation of the highway;

•  The certificate of lawfulness confirms that the established lawful use of the site is for storage and distribution. This confirmed use would allow a broad selection of business to operate from the site;

•  The proposal therefore would result in a real and material improvement from the existing situation at the site, as it would have a lower impact upon the highway than the site’s current lawful use;

•  There would be no negative impact upon the landscape as the site would be set amongst existing development, and would form a suitable addition

alongside the surrounding properties in terms of its scale, form and appearance;

•  There would also be no harmful impact upon the residential amenities or privacy enjoyed by neighbouring residents or upon the environment.

Councillor Lewis Davies proposed that the application be approved and Councillor R.O. Jones seconded the proposal.
