The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for the installation of two pipes in connection with the flood alleviation works in Beaumaris. The total length of the culverts is approximately 380 metres and they will be buried at a depth of between 2 and 3 metres below the existing ground level. The majority of the works will be underground and therefore not visible; this being so it is not considered the proposal will affect the conservation of the AONB’s natural beauty, features or special qualities related to visual effects. The revised scheme is considered to be a considerable improvement on a previously approved proposal for flood alleviation works in Beaumaris. Specialist internal and external consultees have assessed the proposed development in relation to the Special Area of Conservation, Site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Protection Area and raise no objections subject to conditions. The application is therefore recommended for approval.
