Minutes:

7.1 FPL/2023/181 – Full application for the erection of 6 residential units together with associated development at Shirehall, Glanhwfa Road, Llangefni

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of Local Members due to local concerns on over-development, the need for these units, lack of parking and access in and out of the site. At its meeting held on 5 June, 2024 the members resolved to conduct a site visit which subsequently took place on 19 June, 2024.

Public Speaker

Mr Owain Hughes, applicant’s Agent, in support of the application said that the Shire Hall is an important building in the centre of this town, a building that has been an important part of the entrance to the historic town. This application gives the applicant an opportunity to add value to the land and to develop the old building. Work has been undertaken with the planning department, to come up with a modern building which is also in keeping with the historical building. Discussions have been undertaken with Natural Resources Wales and they have agreed that there are no flooding issues. The Highways Department has confirmed that they are satisfied with the parking provision on the site and Llangefni has other car parks.

The effect of the proposal, especially on the amenity of nearby land users has been considered in line with the criteria and the intention has been located about 53 meters away from the nearest residential house on Glanhwfa Road. Located between the proposed building and the nearest residential building is a large car park which is used by the staff of Anglesey County Council. Due to the distance and the intervening distance between the intention and nearest residential property, it is not considered that there is a negative effect on nearby residential amenities. The intention conforms with all policies, the statutory consultants are satisfied with the development. The changes and mass of the building are now acceptable to the department and is not detrimental to the listed building.

The Planning Development Manager reported that Llangefni is identified as an Urban Service Centre under Policy TAI 1 within the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP). This policy supports housing to meet the Plan’s strategy through housing allocations and suitable unallocated sites within the development boundary based upon the indicative provision shown within the Policy. The indicative supply level for Llangefni over the Plan period is 673 units. During the period 2011 to 2022, a total of 197 units have been completed. The windfall land bank i.e. sites with existing planning consent, and likely to be developed in April 2022 stood at 67 units; the allocated sites landbank stood at 235. This proposal would mean that the indicative housing provision in Llangefni would not be exceeded. Considering the above-mentioned figures under criterion (1b) of Policy PS1, there is no need for a Welsh language statement to support the application. A housing statement has been received with the planning application and the Housing Department have confirmed ... view the full minutes text for item 7
