12.1 FPL/2024/209 – Retrospective application for the retention of the river restoration works to the Afon Braint and the Afon Eryr Uchaf on land adjacent to Penhesgyn Household Waste Management Centre, Penhesgyn

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is being made by the Isle of Anglesey County Council.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for the retention of restoration works to the Afon Braint which will result in a more natural, diverse hydrological scheme to improve habitat for aquatic species and improvement to flood management and water quality. The main objectives of the scheme are to improve the ability of the river to deal with flood water whilst also improving its ecological value. The Planning Development Manager referred to the main engineering operations of the scheme and what those entailed as described in the Officer’s report. He confirmed that Natural Resources Wales had requested additional information which was found acceptable and that the Council’s Ecology Officer had assessed the Green Infrastructure Statement in support of the application and was satisfied with the proposal. The recommendation is therefore to approve the application.

Councillor Geraint Bebb proposed, seconded by Councillor Dafydd Roberts, 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.
