The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the proposal is contrary to policies of the Joint Local Development Plan but which the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for the variation of condition (02) as regard to submission of boundary treatments prior the commencement of the works of conversion at Hen Feudy, Fferam Bailey, Trefdraeth. She noted that conversion has already taken place and completed and the dwelling is currently occupied. The required details as set out in the conditions attached to the original approval of the application were not submitted and this application addresses these matters i.e. stone walling and fencing. The application is contrary to policy TAI 7 of the Joint Local Development Plan but as the conversion is for residential use the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve the application.

Councillor John Griffith proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and Councillor Dafydd Roberts seconded the proposal.

It was RESOLVED to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions contained within the written report.

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the proposal is contrary to policies of the Joint Local Development Plan but which the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for the variation of condition (16) of previously approved planning application as regard amendment to the design of the 4 dwellings at the former Daniel Business Centre, Llanddaniel. The amendments requested are for the change to the windows, doors and sunroom at the dwellings. The approved application was at a height of 7.7 meters, however, the height has now been reduced to 7.3 meters together with the ridge height. She noted that a small area of the estate road is outside the development boundary and hence the reason for reporting the application to the Planning and Orders Committee. However, as works has commenced on site the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve the application.

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

It was RESOLVED to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions contained within the written report.

10.3 43C195F/VAR – Application under Section 73A for the variation of conditions (02) (photographic record), (03) (disposal of surface water) and (04) (proposed boundary treatment) of planning permission reference 43C195D (change of use of outbuilding into dwelling) so as to allow the submission of details after works has commenced at Y Granar, Rhoscolyn

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application is a departure from the development plan which the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for the variation of conditions (02), (03) and (04) of the previously approved planning application. She noted that under the former development plan the conversion of existing buildings in the countryside into residential use was permitted subject to the listed criteria. The Joint Local Development Plan has superseded the former development plan and under the provisions of policy TAI 7 the conversion of existing buildings to residential purposes is only permitted where evidence is provided that an employment use of the building is not viable. The Officer further noted that the relevant consultees have now responded but an additional condition needed to be attached to any approval of the application as regard to the completion of boundary works on site.

Councillor Vaughan Hughes expressed concerns that this was another retrospective application and asked the Officers to approach Welsh Government as regard to the need to review retrospective planning policies.

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

It was RESOLVED to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions contained within the written report and an additional condition on the implementation of boundary works.
