11.1 11C73F/VAR – Lastra Farm, Amlwch

11.2 34C734 – 18 Nant y Pandy, Llangefni

11.1    11C73F/VAR – Application under Section 73 for the variation of condition (02) of planning permission reference 11C73E (conversion of the function room into four self-contained units and additional hotel rooms) so as to amend the number of self-contained units to two and increase the number of hotel rooms to 8 at Lastra Farm, Amlwch

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as a relevant officer as defined within paragraph 4.6.10.2 of the Constitution who is directly involved in the planning process has declared an interest in the application. The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under the said paragraph.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is to change the layout and design of the planning consent granted in 2017 to convert the existing function room into four self-contained units together with two additional rooms, so as to reduce the number of self-contained units from 4 to 2 and increase the number of hotel rooms from 4 to 8. The amended scheme will not increase the existing footprint of what has been previously approved and will not result in any adverse impact on the amenities of nearby residential properties and as the changes are minor, the recommendation is to approve the application.

Councillor Robin Williams proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation; the proposal was seconded by Councillor Richard Owain Jones.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report subject to the conditions contained therein.

11.2    34C734 – Full application for the alternations and extensions together with an extension to the curtilage at 18 Nant y Pandy, Llangefni

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is made by a relevant officer as defined in the Council’s Constitution. The application has been reviewed by the Monitoring Officer.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application consists of an extension to the northern/side elevation of the dwelling. As the extension is modestly sized the massing of the resulting dwelling will not be out of context with the general area or out of character in terms of the massing of the surrounding residential properties. Due to the location of the extension, the proposal will not affect the amenities of the wider estate and whilst the proposal will face the garden of an existing property, its orientation means that there will be no impact from overlooking sufficient to warrant a refusal. The Officer said that the proposal also involves extending the curtilage to the north to accommodate the extension. The extension to the curtilage will not extend into the Dingle Nature Reserve and wildlife site which lies to the rear of the dwelling; the intention is to erect a wooden fence along the new curtilage to correspond to that which already exists. The Council’s Ecology Adviser confirms that the proposal will have no ecology impacts on the Dingle Wildlife Site. The recommendation is therefore to approve the application.

Councillor John Griffith proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation; the proposal was seconded by Councillor Vaughan Hughes.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report subject to the conditions contained therein.
