7.1 FPL/2024/64 – Full application for the demolition of the existing dwelling together with the erection of a replacement dwelling and retention of new vehicular access, track, and parking areas at TyddynDylifws, Tyn y Gongl

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a Local Member. At its meeting held on 24 July 2024, the committee resolved to refuse the application contrary to the Officer’s recommendation the reason being that it was deemed to be contrary to criterion 7 of Policy TAI 13.

The Planning Development Manager addressed the reason given for the Committee’s refusal of the application at its 24 July meeting by reference to criterion 7 of Policy TAI 13 (Replacement Dwellings) which states that outside development boundaries, the siting and design of the total new development should be of a similar scale and size and should not create a visual impact significantly greater than the existing dwelling in order that it can be satisfactorily absorbed or integrated into the landscape. In exceptional circumstances a larger well-designed dwelling that does not lead to significant greater visual impact could be supported.

While the proposal would lead to a dwelling which is approximately 129% larger than the existing dwelling, it is of a high-quality design and the use of high-quality materials such as stone cladding, wooden panels, and natural Welsh slate which along with appropriate landscaping would be an improvement on the existing dwelling and would fit in well with the landscape. The existing dwelling with its rear two-storey flat roof extension does not blend in with the general form of development in the area. Although larger in scale and size due to its extending into the attic space, the proposed replacement dwelling sits broadly on the same footprint as the existing dwelling and as such it is not considered that it will lead to a significantly greater visual impact than the dwelling in situ. The application site is not located within the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty or Special Landscape Area and is visible only from a short distance. As the proposed dwelling is only 2m higher than the adjoining property it cannot be reasonably concluded that its visual impact will be significantly greater than that of the existing dwelling. Therefore the recommendation remains to approve the application.

Councillors Margaret M. Roberts and Ieuan Williams spoke as Local Members to reiterate their objections to the proposal on account of its scale and size it being significantly larger than the existing dwelling and, in their view, out of keeping with the surroundings and landscape and therefore at odds with the fundamental principle of criterion 7. Neither did they believe that exceptional circumstances applied in this case that would allow the proposal to be supported. The proposal is double the size of the original dwelling and is situated in the countryside. Councillor Williams said that he had no issues with the replacement dwelling policy as some structures because of their condition, are incapable  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7
