7.1  19LPA1038/CC – Maes yr Ysgol, Holyhead

7.1  19LPA1038/CC – Full application for demolition of the existing garages together with the erection of 4 single person dwellings with associated parking at Maes yr Ysgol, Holyhead

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application as it is made by the Council.  At its meeting held on 10 January, 2018 the Committee resolved to visit the site.  The site was subsequently visited on the 17 January, 2018.

Mr Mike Jones (objector to the application) said that he has been a resident of the Morawelon for 68 years. The development of housing in the Morawelon area commenced in the 1950’s which had green areas and open spaces. He said that there were very few people living in the Morawelon estates with cars but during the years more and more people have cars and the removal of garages and parking areas increase cars having to park on pavements and on the highway. He referred to the application at Maes yr Ysgol to demolish existing garages which he considered would increase traffic in the area with the erection of 4 dwellings. The loss of the parking area near the garages will displace vehicles who park there already and they will therefore park in other locations. Mr Jones said that the Morawelon area is in dire need of parking facilities.

The Committee questioned Mr Jones on issues relating to the nearby primary school in the vicinity of the application site and asked whether street parking is worse when children arrive and leave the school. Mr Jones agreed that a high volume of traffic occurs during peak time when children are arriving and leaving the primary school; the road in the area is narrow and lorries travelling to the nearby factory are having to mount the kerb to pass parking vehicles.

Mr Ned Michael (for the proposal) said that the County Council has established a housing development plan to develop social housing on the Island. He said that this scheme at Maes yr Ysgol, Holyhead is the first scheme the County Council has submitted since the last 40 years. The priority of Welsh Government is to build 20,000 affordable housing and to alleviate the number of homeless young people in Wales. The County Council was successful in obtaining a grant from Welsh Government towards it social housing scheme. He referred to the application before the Committee and said that there are 24 garages at the application site with 12 of the garages being used. 7 of these garages are rented by residents of the Morawelon Estate. The application before the Committee is to demolish the garages and to build 4 single storey/single person occupancy dwellings. Mr Michael said that 43 people are currently on the housing register for single person occupancy dwellings in Holyhead. He further said that parking areas of up to 10/11 spaces will be afforded on site.

Councillor R Ll Jones, a Local Member said that he fully supported the need for social housing and especially  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.
