11.1  13C183B/RUR – Seren Las, Bodedern

11.1  13C183B/RUR – Full application for the erection of a rural enterprise dwelling, installation of a package treatment plant together with the construction of a vehicular access on land adjacent to Seren Las, Bodedern

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a ‘relevant’ Officer of the County Council.  The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under paragraph 4.6.10.4 of the Constitution.

Councillor Llinos M. Huws, a Local Member stated that the application for the erection of a dwelling was attached to a horticultural rural enterprise business.  The proposed business is located on the outskirts of the village of Bodedern.   The application is supported by a Business Plan together with a response document, both prepared by the applicant’s consultant.  She quoted from policy TAN 6 which supported such a horticultural business.  The applicant has permission for and has purchased poly-tunnels already which shows the intention to develop this enterprise business.  Councillor Huws further stated that 2 other enterprise businesses on the Island have been granted permission lately.

The Planning Development Manager reported that planning policies allow development within the countryside in support of rural enterprise only when they have met strict planning policy tests.  Clear evidence that the enterprise has been established on a sound financial footing must also be shown.  The Council has suggested to the applicant to accept a three year temporary permission for accommodation on the site in order to allow a presence on the site and to establish if the business will be successful.  The applicant has confirmed that she does not wish to consider temporary accommodation and wishes the application to be considered for a permanent dwelling. 

Councillor K.P. Hughes stated that it is important to support rural enterprise businesses but he considered that without knowing if the business will succeed he found it difficult to support the application for a permanent dwelling on the site.  Councillor Hughes proposed that the application be refused and Councillor T.V. Hughes seconded the proposal of refusal.

Councillor Jeff Evans stated that he considered that the applicant has shown commitment in purchasing poly-tunnels for the venture and he considered that a temporary dwelling for 3 years would be unnecessary expense for the applicant.  Councillor Evans proposed that the application be approved.    Councillor John Griffith seconded the proposal.

It was RESOLVED to refuse the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendations within the written report.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the local members for the Holyhead Ward had been consulted and not the local members for the Ynys Cybi Ward; therefore the application will need to be deferred to the next meeting. 

It was RESOLVED to defer consideration of the application to allow consultation with the Ynys Cybi local members.

14.1  Isle of Anglesey County Council (Traffic Regulation Order) (Various locations Menai Bridge) Order 2015

To submit a report by the Chief Engineer (Traffic & Transport) in relation to the above.

14.1  Isle of Anglesey County Council (Traffic Regulation Order) (Various locations Menai Bridge) Order 2015

Submitted – the report of the Chief Engineer (Traffic & Transport) in relation to the above.

The Chief Engineer (Traffic & Transport) reported that the proposed Order was prepared in response to complaints received over many years regarding the parking and traffic congestion on the A545 Menai Bridge.  The congestion is largely due to a combination of the existence of limited waiting parking bay/loading and unloading activities and illegal parking on existing restrictions near the pedestrian crossing.  A petition of approximately 350 signatories has been received in support of the current proposal.  Eight objections has been received which highlighted the possible adverse effect of the proposal on local trading and local businesses due to the reduction in on-street parking facility. 

It was RESOLVED to approve the proposal in accordance with the advertised Order and plans.
