The Planning Manager (Major Consents) reported that it is the Officer’s view that it is necessary for the Committee’s Members to view the proposal and its context prior to considering the application; it is therefore recommended that a site visit be undertaken.

It was resolved that the application site be visited in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation for the reason given. (Councillor Robin Williams abstained from voting)

6.2 39C285D – Full application for the erection of 17 dwellings on land at Lôn Gamfa, Menai Bridge

The Planning Development Manager reported that a report following a recent flooding incident is still awaited; she understood that an application for funding has been made to Welsh Government to undertake investigative and modelling work in the area to better understand the nature of the flooding and the mitigation measures that can be taken. The Officer said that as this work is likely to take some months to complete it is recommended that consideration of the application be deferred, and also that the application be removed from the Committee’s agenda in the meantime.

It was resolved to defer consideration of the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation for the reason given, and that it also be removed from the agenda.

6.3 41LPA1041/FR/TR/CC – Full application for the change of use of agricultural land for use as a temporary stopping place (10 spaces) for Gypsies and Travellers, formation of a new vehicular access, the formation of a new pedestrian access and pavement together with associated development on land East of Star Crossroads, Star

Having declared an interest in this application, the Planning Development Manager withdrew from the meeting during the consideration and determination thereof.

The Planning Built and Natural Environment Manager reported that the Committee had at its previous meeting rejected the Officer’s recommendation that the site be visited on the grounds that it had not been provided with a full report on the application.  The Officer said that the flooding assessment report was received on 11 May and has been the subject of a consultation which ended last week.  Comments by Natural Resources Wales were received last week and have been forwarded to the external consultants who are preparing the report.  This is yet to be finalised with the Chief Planning Officer due to meet with the consultants next week to discuss matters.  It is therefore recommended that consideration of the application be deferred. 

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