The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application site is located on Council owned land.

The Local Members, Councillors Dylan Rees and Nicola Roberts requested that the application site be visited as the planning application is substantial and there has been some local concerns as to overlooking, proximity, traffic management and mitigation measures.

12.3  FPL/2019/226 – Full application for the siting of three holiday chalets, formation of a new access track, amendments to an existing access together with the installation of a new treatment plant on land at Fronwen, Newborough

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

The Development Management Manager outlined the application to the Committee and gave the planning history of a previous application that was refused.  She noted that a further letter of support was received in respect of this application.  The applicant has submitted amendments to the vehicular access so as to address the third reason for refusal of the previous application.  The height of the proposed holiday chalets have also been reduced.  However, the location and the siting of the holiday chalets has not been modified and are within a prominent position on the site and without any nearby facilities.  The recommendation was of refusal. 

Councillor Bryan Owen said that the site lies on the main road between Pentre Berw and Newborough and near the Tacla Taid tourist facility.  He said that the area is a tourist attraction with Llanddwyn Beach nearby; the facilities are all within walking distance to local villages.  Councillor Owen expressed that such a proposal at Fronwen is what tourist require and further said that there is no objection locally to the application nor by the Rhosyr Community Council. 

Councillor K P Hughes proposed that the application be approved contrary to the Officer’s recommendation as such a facility for tourist is important to the area and the Island.  Councillor Eric W Jones seconded the proposal.

Councillor John Griffith proposed that the application be refused and Councillor Nicola Roberts seconded the proposal.

Councillor T Ll Hughes proposed that the application site be visited to ascertain whether the application conforms with planning policy TWR3. Councillor R O Jones seconded the proposal.

Following the vote it was RESOLVED to visit the site for the reasons given.
