Public Speaker

 

Mr Rhys Davies, Cadnant Planning spoke in support of the application highlighting that Listed Building Consent for the conversion of the outbuilding into a holiday unit has already been granted and that the Officer’s report confirms that the principle of the conversion of outbuildings into holiday accommodation is established under policy TWR2 of the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP). The proposal complies with the criteria presented under Policy TWR 2 in that it makes use of a suitable previously developed site; it is appropriate in scale and does not significantly harm the residential character of the area. The proposal is also in a sustainable location being within walking distance of a bus stop and the village of Llangoed via foot or bicycle. The access from off the highway leading to Penmon is considered acceptable with minor improvements as are the plans from a heritage perspective. Questions have arisen regarding what might be the economic benefits to the locality from such a development especially as the developer is not local.
