12.1    VAR/2019/14 – Application under Section 73A for the deletion of condition (08) (finished floor level) and the variation of condition (11) (plans approved under reserved matters application ref. 15C48J/FR/DA) of outline planning permission reference 15C48H (outline application for the erection of a dwelling together with the construction of a vehicular access) so as to allow for amendments to the siting and design of the previously approved dwelling and detached garage together with the erection of a new perimeter flood defence wall at Cae Eithin, Malltraeth 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of the Local Members due to concerns regarding access and land ownership issues.

Councillor Bryan Owen proposed that a site visit be undertaken because of the concerns regarding access and land ownership. Councillor Owen explained that he believed the application to be a case of putting the cart before the horse as the applicant does not at present have an access to the dwelling and that the Committee should first see the application site before determining the application.

The Development Management Manager clarified that the application is for amendments to the previous outline and reserved matters permission for a dwelling in which the access was shared with Pen Parc, the property next door. A separate private access and driveway to Cae Eithin has been approved as part of a later stand-alone application. However, the application as presented is to vary conditions of permission relating to the dwelling only and is not related to the private access. The reason given for proposing a site visit i.e. access issues is therefore not a valid planning reason for this application which is in connection with changes made to the dwelling.

Councillor Bryan Owen said that the separate access referred to has been created on land not owned by the applicant and that no agreement has been reached between the applicant and the next-door neighbour about purchasing the land. Councillor Owen said that he thought the matter of the access needed to be resolved before this application could be determined since without lawful access the property can’t be used.

The Development Management Manager provided the Committee with some background information and context to the application and, with reference to the site map highlighted the land on which the separate access was situated relative to the land on which the dwelling which is the subject of this application, is located. The separate access was approved as a stand-alone permission and has been the subject of an enforcement investigation for breach of conditions. The Officer further clarified that as part of this application which is to amend the original outline consent which included access, the applicant has served notice on the landowner which means the application can be dealt with otherwise land ownership is not a planning matter.
