(Report to follow)

11.1    22C224 – Outline application for the erection of a dwelling together with full details of the access on land adjacent to Tan y Ffordd Isaf, Llanddona

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee because the applicant is related to a member of staff within the Council’s Planning and Public Protection Department. The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under paragraph 4.6.10.4 of the Council’s Constitution.

The Planning Development Team Leader reported that the recommendation in the Officer’s written report to refuse the application is made on the basis of the Policy 50 implementation note and, given that no weight is currently being given to the implementation note, the recommendation is now to defer consideration of the application to reconsider the application in light of Policy 50.

It was resolved to defer consideration of the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation for the reason given.

11.2    4583C/DEL – Application under Section 73 for the removal of condition (05) (workshop shall be used for the benefit of Mr T.W.Owen and when no longer required by him shall be used for the purpose of agriculture) from planning permission reference 45C83A (erection of a workshop) at Trewen, Penlon, Newborough

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a relevant officer. The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer.

The Planning Development Team Leader reported that the original consent dates back to 1989 and followed a similar application for a workshop that was refused on account of its potential effects on amenities. In granting consent to the application in 1989 a planning condition was placed thereon restricting the use of the workshop to Mr T.W.Owen, and the applicant was also required to enter into a section 52 agreement that should the shed no longer be required by him or by his son (the latter stipulation being at variance with the wording of the planning condition), it would revert to agricultural use in association with the 6.5. acre holding. Two letters of objection to the deletion of the personal condition have been received and these are on the basis of concerns

regarding the potential intensification of use at the site. The Officer said that there is already a noise limiting condition on the consent and that will remain effective. The recommendation is to approve the application.

Councillor Kenneth Hughes proposed that the application be approved and his proposal was seconded by Councillor Lewis Davies.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions listed in the written report.

The Legal Services Manager advised at this juncture that as the Committee had now been in session for three hours (application 13.1 having been brought forward for consideration earlier in the Committee’s order of business), under the provisions of paragraph 4.1.10 of the Council’s Constitution, a resolution was required by the majority of those Members of the Committee present to agree to continue with the meeting. It was resolved that the meeting should continue.
