13.1  FPL/2019/57 – Full application for the erection of 46 dwellings together with the creation of a new vehicular access on land adjacent to Parc Tyddyn Bach, Holyhead

The Development Management Manger reported that planning approval was afforded as regard to this application in May 2019 subject to the completion of a legal agreement.  In the course of preparing the legal agreement amended landscaping details have been received and it is necessary to report the application back to the Planning and Orders Committee.  She gave background details of the application as regards to landscaping and planting of trees at the original planning application presented.  Concerns have been raised that it is not possible to carry out the planting of trees in accordance with the plan presented to the Planning Authority due to the location of a ditch.  Therefore, amended landscaping details have been presented that the planting of trees will now be within the gardens of the new dwellings and fences be erected on the boundary together with hedges and reseeding.  The Development Management Manager said that the amended landscaping details are considered acceptable but the publicity period in which members of the public can make representations does not expire until the 9^th October, 2019 and delegated power to grant planning permission upon the expiry of this period is required.  One objection has been received that the proposed hedge would not grow to the required height and that the gardens of the dwellings needs to be set back by 1 metre.  The objector also expressed that there is inadequate space to carry out maintenance of the nearby ditch and also requested that a fence needs to be erected during construction on site.  The Landscaping Officer has confirmed that the amended landscaping details is acceptable and the Drainage Section considers that the planting plan does not impair on the maintenance of the nearby ditch.   She noted that the distance from the houses is greater than is expected within the planning guidelines and Condition 13 within the Officer’s report addresses erection of fences during construction of the development and a Construction Environmental Management Plan will need to be submitted and approved before commencement of the development. 

The Development Management Manager reported that the recommendation is for the Planning and Orders Committee to reaffirm its decision of approval of the application with a S106 legal agreement as noted within the Officer’s report and to include the amended landscaping details proposed. 

Councillor Robin Williams proposed that the application be approved and Councillor R O Jones seconded the proposal.
