Minutes:
Submitted for the Committee’s information – A copy of a letter to Richard Buxton Solicitors dated 28 March, 2023 by Burges Salmon LLP addressing issues raised with regard to the implementation of the Land and Lakes permission under reference 6C427K/RE/EIA/ECON.
7.1 46C427L/COMP – Submission of Community Liaison Group Scheme (CLGS) to comply with the Terms of Agreement as set out in Schedule 8, Section 7 and Penrhos Public Access Land Scheme (PPALS) as set out in Schedule 8, Section 13.1 of the Section 106 Agreement attached to planning permission reference 46C427K/TR/EIA/ECON at Land and Lakes, Penrhos Coastal Park, Holyhead
The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it related to the discharge of obligations of a Section 106 Agreement attached to the consent of an application which was accompanied by an Environmental Impact Assessment. It was therefore referred to the Committee for determination in accordance with paragraph 3.5.3.10 of the Constitution. At the previous meeting of the Planning and Orders Committee held on 5 April, 2023 it was resolved to defer consideration of the application.
Public Speaker
Mrs Hilary Paterson-Jones, spoke as an objector to the application and said that over 16,000 people who oppose the Land and Lakes plans for Penrhos are following on social media. There are profound implications for the community of Holy Island and Anglesey in allowing the felling of so many trees, Penrhos being the only woodland we have. The plundering of forests by developers has led to the vanishing of around half of Wales’ animal and plant life. We are in a Nature Crisis. NRW found the risk to 6,200 species-3,902 are threatened with extinction, specifically in Wales in the next few years. Since Cop15 Welsh Government has added its voice to protect and manage precious habitats such as Penrhos. Changes to PPW 6.4 on the resilience of ecosystems, trees, woodlands and AONBs’ have been strengthened. Ask yourself will this benefit be achieved at Penrhos? i.e. will the result be better than the starting state for species after the felling of almost 30 acres of ancient and veteran trees? It is extraordinary that Wales has a nature recovery action plan, yet you are allowing developers to desecrate our Welsh heritage landscape for 500 cabins, supermarkets, bars, restaurants and a tropical swimming pool and concreting swathes of woodland for almost 1,000 cars! We have timestamped, dated evidence that a material start has not lawfully commenced by Land & Lakes for their World Class Leisure village. Works have not begun within the time period expressed on the permission, therefore, permission has lapsed. As defined in the Town and Country Planning Act. The digging of foundations, laying out or construction of a road and a material change to building or land. The Bailiffs Tower is allegedly a ‘Visitor Centre’, we have photographic evidence that signs still show the building remains ‘Holyhead Cricket Club. Land & Lakes ripped out a carpet from the room, moved chairs/benches to the side. There are no pamphlets or stands one ... view the full minutes text for item 7
