Public Speakers
Ms Liz Moyle addressed the Committee as an objector to the proposal and said that this application comes before the Committee at an interesting time in the progression of legislation in Wales. The Historic Environment (Wales) Bill received Royal Assent in June and should be implemented by late next year, providing a Code of Welsh Law on the Historic Environment. As well as simplifying law the value of the Historic Environment’, to the nation is re-stated emphatically in the Explanatory Memorandum. She quoted briefly from this: “The people of Wales have inherited a unique historic environment, shaped by past generations, it continues to enhance our quality of life and well-being today. The historic places that surround us, give us a sense of place and help to define us as a nation. The historic environment is a precious resource, it is also a fragile one. It must be protected so that present and future generations can continue to be inspired by it, learn from it and enjoy its many benefits.” The developer, builders and many users of the Presbyterian Church were inspired in what they achieved and how they met the needs of the time, but we move on. Do the plans submitted for change now conserve, enhance or indeed inspire? Does the provision of holiday accommodation, extra parking and traffic enhance or diminish that fragile heritage? Is new work, such as the sunroom, justified and of sufficient quality and design to add value to the site. Does the removal of part of the wall facing the road diminish not enhance? The additional traffic is likely to cause extra problems on an already busy road. With every planning change considered especially for listed buildings and within the Conservation Area, every home and holiday let granted or not, we should demonstrate commitment to maintaining that sense of place and indeed that source of inspiration for all. What was built more than a hundred years ago, to serve the community, should continue to do so in a very simple way, use this as a marker for the future, for the well-being of the community, but homes for people and not holiday lets.
Mr Craig Allison addressed the Committee in support of his application said that the opportunity to convert this church into a home is a privilege. The documents on the application outline how we plan to use the space to also establish a holiday home for letting which will contribute to both repaying the cost of conversion, ... view the full minutes text for item 12
