Minutes:
11.1 FPL/2023/228 – Full application for extension to residential curtilage at Tyn Lleiniau, Llanfigael
The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a serving councillor as defined in section 4.6.10.2 of the Council’s Constitution. The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer in accordance with the requirements of section 4.6.10.4 of the Constitution.
Having declared a personal and prejudicial interest in the application, Councillor Ken Taylor withdrew from the meeting during the discussion and determination thereof. The item was chaired by the Vice-Chair, Councillor Glyn Haynes.
The Planning Development Manager reported that the application site is already used
for residential purposes as an extension to the existing garden. The neighbouring property of Trem y Mynydd is on land adjacent to the north and has a very large garden area that extends to the east of the dwelling. The proposed extension to the residential curtilage would match the length and scale of the neighbouring property’s garden. It is considered that the change of use of the land would not have a negative impact on the existing dwelling, would be similar in scale to the garden of the neighbouring dwelling and would not impact the surrounding area. Additionally the scheme has been amended to include ecological enhancements by way of the planting of a native hedge and the provision of hedgehog holes within the boundary fence in line with the Ecological Advisor’s comments. The recommendation is therefore to approve the application.
Responding to a query by Councillor Robin Williams about whether the application would have been presented for determination by the Committee had the applicant not been related to a serving councillor, the Planning Development Manager advised that had that not been the case, the application would have been approved by Officers under delegated powers.
On that basis therefore Councillor Robin Williams proposed, seconded by Councillor John I. Jones, that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.
It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report subject to the planning conditions set out therein.
