13.1  FPL/2021/198 – Full application for the retention of the existing structure and continuation of works for the erection of a new holiday unit together with associated works on land at Bryn Gollen Newydd, Llannerchymedd

The Chief Planning Officer reported that the application is a repeat application of the one refused by the Committee at its meeting held on 7 July, 2021 for the retention of the existing structure that has been built without planning permission and the continuation of the works for the erection of a new holiday unit together with associated works.  No new material planning considerations arise from those dealt with in the refused application. He further reported that Section 70B(4)(b) of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990 gives local planning authorities the right to decline to determine planning applications that have been refused by them within which an appeal in respect of a similar application can be made to the Welsh Ministers under Section 78 has not expired; the appeal process is still valid for the applicant to appeal the decision.  The recommendation was that the Planning Authority decline to determine the application before the Committee. 

Councillor K P Hughes expressed that following information from planning experts he considered that the Planning Authority has a duty to determine applications received.  He noted that similar applications have been determined in the past which have gone to appeal such as an application at Cae’r Ddol, Bodorgan when the planning authority considered that the application was not within a sustainable area and would be dependent on the use of private vehicles but the Planning Inspector disagreed.  Councillor Hughes gave this examples as these are similar applications for holiday units within the open countryside.  He noted that there has been no objection locally to this application neither from the Community Council and he considered that it was within a sustainable area.  Councillor Hughes proposed that the application be deferred to allow the rights of the applicant and his agent to speak on this application.  Councillor John Griffith seconded the proposal of deferring the application.

Councillor Dafydd Roberts proposed to support the recommendation of the Officer’s to decline to determine the application.  There was no seconder to the proposal. 

It was RESOLVED to refuse the recommendation to decline to determine the application by Officer’s. 

(In accordance with the decision, a report on the substantive application together with a recommendation by Officers will be brought before the Committee).
