 7.1  VAR/2019/14 – Application under Section 73A for the deletion of condition (08) (finished floor level) and the variation of condition (11) (plans approved under reserved matters application ref 15C48J/FR/DA) of outline planning permission reference 15C48H (outline application for the erection of a dwelling together with the construction of a vehicular access) so as to allow for amendments to the siting and design of the previously approved dwelling and detached garage together with the erection of a new perimeter flood defence wall at Cae Eithin, Malltraeth

 

Councillor Bryan Owen had declared a personal and prejudicial interest in the application and left the meeting during discussion and voting thereon.

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of Local Members. 

 

At the meeting of the Planning and Orders Committee held on 3 July, 2019 it was resolved to visit the site and subsequently the site was visited on 17 July, 2019.  Due to the unavailability of some Members attending the site visit the Planning and Orders Committee at its meeting held on 24 July, 2019 resolved to re-visit the site and subsequently the site was further visited on 7 August, 2019.

 

Councillor Peter Rogers, a Local Member referred to the closing of an enforcement complaint regarding access to the site in 2018 on grounds of expediency but raised concerns that 5 out of the 6 planning conditions had been breached and that the dwelling had already been constructed on the site and there was no lawful access for the delivery of building materials and plant equipment to the site.   Councillor Rogers referred to the discrepancies between the heights, finished floor level and siting of the dwelling and those prescribed by the conditions of the original planning consent having an effect on the amenity and privacy of neighbouring properties and the local area.  He referred that there are anomalies within the Planning Officer’s report as regards to the submission of a Certificate A and he considered that the Planning Department mislead various bodies when they circulated the Certificate A application.  Councillor Rogers highlighted that many questions in relation to this development and the breaches of planning conditions remain unanswered and asked the Committee to defer the application until independent investigations as regards to this proposal have been completed. 

 

The Development Management Manager said that the application is to delete conditions to the finished floor level, the siting of the dwelling within the plot, increased length and width of the finished dwelling and amended orientation of the garage together with the erection of a new perimeter flood defence wall at Cae Eithin, Malltraeth.   She outlined the planning history of the development and noted that an application was submitted in 2015 for private access to the site and there was disagreement as to the ownership of the land and thereafter the application was ‘called-in’ for discussion by the Planning and Orders Committee.  She referred to numerous enforcement issues attached this application over a number of years and concerns expressed  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

Additional documents:

Minutes:

10.1  VAR/2019/9 – Application under Section 73 for the variation of condition (01) (Approved Plans) from planning permission reference 18C71E (Conversion of outbuilding into a dwelling together with the installation of a package treatment plant) as amended by application reference MAO/2018/2 so as to allow for amendments to the design of the outbuilding conversion together with the discharging of condition (03) (Boundary treatment) of planning permission reference 18C71E at Neuadd, Cemaes
