Public Speakers

Ms Wendy Pugh, spoke against the application and she expressed that the Council are under pressure to approve the application as the applicant’s agents would appeal any refusal of the application and would claim costs against the Authority.  She said that there are numerous poultry units in Powys that are similar to this planning application and are detrimental to the environment with cases of air and water pollution.   Ms Pugh urged the Committee to refuse the application as there is a threat to neighbouring properties with regard to avian flu (bird flu) and water pollution.  She further said that there is a potential of other farming enterprises converting to poultry businesses on the Island; the Island would face a similar situation as Powys with extensive poultry units in the county.   Ms Pugh said that it is important that Anglesey keeps a reputation of good food production and this application will provide zero jobs to the area as was stated in a letter by NRW to the Council in 2019 which referred that hard standing construction will entail on the farm at Cae Mawr and staff will be able to walk from the farm to manage the poultry business.    She further said that there has been limited consultation with the neighbouring properties as regards to this development and it is understood that there will be changes to the access to the site.  Ms Pugh had concerns as to whom the neighbouring community would be able to complain to if any issues arose from such a development at Cae Mawr as it will have a detrimental effect on the area. 

Councillor John Griffith questioned as to the opinion of the objector as to the size of the poultry shed at Cae Mawr.  Ms Pugh responded that the size of the shed is extensive within the local countryside and will be visible from the road and a neighbouring property.  She said that there are deep concerns in the area as to the odour that will entail from the site and she further said that she had been in contact with people across Wales who have such a development near their homes and who have commented on the effects of such poultry farms on the environment.

Ms Gail Jenkins spoke in support of the application and said that the applicants wish to extend their business venture at Cae Mawr and intend to be able to produce high standard local food whilst protecting the environment  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7
