      The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a Local Member.  At the meeting held on 6 September, 2023 it was resolved that a physical site visit be undertaken to the site.  The site visit was subsequently held on 20 September, 2023.

      Public Speakers

      Mr Elfed Roberts addressed the Committee as an objector to the proposal and said that he appreciated that the Committee had undertaken a site visit to the site and to view how dangerous the access is to the A4080 highway.  He said that he would refer to three main reasons as to why the application should be refused.  He noted firstly that safety issues should be considered and said that the Highways Section should have followed their previous decision in 2016 that a condition needed to be included that the A4080 should conform with national standards as regards to splay visibility and as a result the junction is dangerous as it is not possible to see clearly for 70 metres whist driving onto the highway; this is an accident waiting to happen in this location.  Increasing the traffic to the proposed site would endanger more lives.   Secondly, he referred to overdevelopment of tourist development which has already had a negative effect in communities such as Rhosneigr and Moelfre.  He considered that there is no justification for more holiday lets in this area as was expressed in the Community Council who had objected to this application.  He further said that he considered that there are enough holiday lets in the area such as Plas Coch, Parc Eurach, Plas Newydd Cottages and a number of other holiday accommodation; approval of this application would endanger the balance of the area.  In the vicinity of Llwyn Onn, there are 11 permanent residential dwellings with a number of these residents learning the Welsh language.  He expressed that it was essential to develop the Welsh language and this application is against policies in encouraging people to learn the Welsh language.  The number of full-time residences compared to the 24 beds within the holiday lets at Llwyn Onn will result in the character and tranquillity of the area be taken over by people on holidays during the holiday period.  Thirdly, he referred to the strength of the objection to the development by residents of the community as they consider that the proposal will be overdevelopment of the site and will affect the nature of wildlife in the vicinity of the site. The development is mainly to generate income for the applicant who lives in Derbyshire. 

      Mr Rhys Davies addressed the Committee as the applicant Agent in support of the application saying that he wished to respond to the comment by the objector as regards to the applicant living in Derbyshire, he noted that the developer Amos Group Ltd., are a registered company on Anglesey who  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7
