 10.1  FPL/2023/193 – Full application for the erection of a dwelling together with alterations to the existing access on land adjacent to Arwel, Llanddona

(Having declared a personal and prejudicial interest in the application, Councillor John I Jones left the meeting during discussion and voting thereon on).

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the proposal is a departure from the Joint Local Development Plan in which Officers are minded to approve.

The Development Management Manager reported that outline consent was afforded for the erection of a dwelling in 1986 and a reserve matters application in 1988.  In May this year, a Certificate of Lawful Use was afforded to the applicant as he had proved that material work had started on the site and that permission had been lawfully implemented.  There is therefore a safeguarded consent on the land for a dwelling.  This application is for the change of the design of the dwelling from a three-bedroom dormer bungalow up to a height of 7.4m to a two-storey dwelling with four bedrooms with a height of 7.6m.  The proposal will be larger and slightly higher than that approved previously and due to the variety of different styles of properties within the immediate area, it is not considered that it will impact on the surrounding area or immediate neighbouring properties than the previously approved safeguarded consent.  There is ample room within the large plot of land to accommodate a dwelling of this scale without harming the amenities of adjacent residential properties with ample parking provision on the site.  There has been concerns by neighbouring properties that the orientation of the plot will have a negative effect on their amenities, but the property is located approximately 26m from the nearest neighbouring property. 

Councillor Robin Williams proposed that the application by approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation. Councillor Liz Wood seconded the proposal of approval. 

It was RESOLVED to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report, subject to the planning conditions set out therein.
