Minutes:
11.1 LUP/2021/1 – Application for a Certificate of Lawfulness for the proposed use of existing workshop as dwellings (C3) at Workshop, Tre Wen, Pen Lôn, Newborough
The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a relevant officer. The application has been scrutinised by the Council’s Monitoring Officer.
The Planning Enforcement Manager reported that planning permission to convert the workshop into three dwellings has been granted following which an application to vary the permission (VAR/2020/74) to include two porches was approved. The foundations of the porches have now been constructed under this permission the issue being whether the planning permission VAR/2020/74 has lawfully commenced. It should be noted that planning policies do not apply to the determination of an application for a Certificate of Lawfulness of Proposed Use or Development (CLPUD); the Local Planning Authority’s considerations in relation to such applications are based solely on an assessment of the evidence submitted by the applicant to determine whether the development subject to the application is lawful under the planning act. In accordance with the legal advice provided as outlined in the report, the Officer’s view is that the burden of proof has been discharged on the burden of probabilities and the recommendation is therefore to approve the application.
Councillor Eric Jones proposed, seconded by Councillor Kenneth Hughes that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.
It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.
