10.1  30C755B/DEL – Application under Section 73 for the removal of conditions (09), (10) and (11) (Code of Sustainable Homes) and variation of condition (08) (materials) from planning permission reference 30C755 (Outline application for the erection of a dwelling) on land at Min y Ffrwd, Brynteg

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

The Planning Development Manager reported that the current application entails the removal of conditions which relate to the Code for Sustainable Homes.  Since matters relating to method of construction with respect to climate change are no longer governed by the planning regime but Part L of Building Regulations, it is considered that the conditions are no longer necessary.  It is therefore reasonable that they are removed as stated within the Welsh Government letter 016/2014.  The application also requests permission to vary condition (08) for trade description of proposed materials for external surfaces i.e. slate roof, cladding and rendering.  As the application site has an extant planning permission the recommendation is of approval of the application.

Councillor Vaughan Hughes proposed that the application be approved and Councillor Eric Jones 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. 

10.2  30C756B/DEL – Application under Section 73 for the removal of conditions (09), (10) and (11) (Code for Sustainable Homes) together with the variation of condition (08) (materials) from planning permission reference 30C756 (erection of a dwelling) on land at Min y Ffrwd, Brynteg

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

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application site is next door to the previous application.  The application entails the removal of conditions which relate to the Code for Sustainable Homes.  The application also requests permission to vary condition (08) for trade description of proposed materials for external surfaces i.e. slate roof, cladding and rendering.  As the application site has an extant planning permission the recommendation is of approval of the application.  However, the local Community Council has expressed concerns as they do not consider that the materials used are in keeping with the area.  She noted that the Planning Officer’s consider that a slate roof, rendering and grey windows are acceptable due to a mix of dwellings in the vicinity and would not have a detrimental impact upon the area. 

Councillor Vaughan Hughes proposed that the application be approved and Councillor Eric Jones 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  35C280F/VAR – Application under Section 73 for the variation of condition (03) (drainage scheme) of planning permission reference 35C280C so as to submit the information after work has commenced on land adjacent to Pen y Waen, Llangoed

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

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is to vary condition (03) drainage scheme.  She said that the application for the erection of a dwelling has been previously approved on the site since 2017.  A condition, at the time, was imposed at the request of Welsh Water, that no development shall commence until a drainage scheme for the site has been submitted and approved by the local planning authority.  The applicant has forwarded alternative engineering solution to the design of the drainage system to a pumped system which is acceptable to Welsh Water and other agencies.  The recommendation is of approval of the application.

Councillor Vaughan Hughes proposed that the application be approved and Councillor K P 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.

10.4  43C54G/VAR – Application under Section 73 for the variation of condition (01) of planning permission reference 43C54F (erection of a dwelling) so as to allow a further 5 years to commence development at Gwynfryn Lodge, 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 planning approval was granted in April, 2013 for a dormer bungalow on the site and a Certificate of Lawfulness has been submitted that shows a material start has been made on the planning permission.   A variation of the planning approval was submitted following approval of the application and the application before the Committee is to vary condition (01) of planning permission so as to allow a further five year period in respect of that application.  She further said that a Certificate of Ownership is awaited from the developer as regards access to the site.  The recommendation is of approval of the application but an additional condition needs to be attached to the approval as regards to landscaping works to protect the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. 

Councillor K P Hughes proposed that the application be approved and Councillor T Ll Hughes MBE 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 together with an additional condition as regard to landscaping works to protect the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty.
