 12.1  FPL/2024/264 – Full application for the creation of a new access, together with an extension to the curtilage at Hafod y Bryn, 37 Cae Mair, Beaumaris

(Councillor Geraint Bebb declared a personal interest in application 12.1.  Councillor Bebb said that following legal advice he was able to take part in the discussion on the application, but he had decided to withdraw from the meeting). 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a Local Member due to local concerns and objections from Town Council.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for an extension to the residential curtilage to create a new access to the property. The Committee were afforded the location and context of the proposal on ‘Google Maps’ and ‘Google Street View’.  He noted that the residents and the Town Council have expressed concerns as regards to the application due to the loss of a parking space and would also have a negative impact on traffic on the estate road.  The Town Council has expressed that historically the development area has been acknowledged as a passing bay/parking area and would cause problems for other residents of the estate.  The parcel of land subject to this application is currently within the ownership of the County Council, as it was adopted by the Highway’s Authority in the past from the previous owner of the property.  The applicant has made the case that technically and historically they have ownership of the proposed development area and appears on the deeds of the property.  However, the Highway’s Authority has confirmed that the estate road has been adopted and is maintained by the Local Authority.   The Planning Development Manager further reported that if the application was to be approved, the applicant will need to apply to the Welsh Ministers, under Section 247 of the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, for a stopping-up order of the unused highway.  The applicant has submitted the relevant Certificates and the Highway’s Authority have no objection to the loss of this piece of land.  He said that the new access would allow the applicant to park vehicles within the curtilage of his property, therefore the creation of the access would not lead to dangerous increase in vehicular movements.  The new access would have no impact on the current parking arrangements of the neighbours in the estate as each property has its own parking provision within their properties.  The Highway’s Authority requested a scaled plan showing visibility splays measuring 45 meters in distance either side of the new access.  The required visibility distance was not achievable; therefore, a speed survey was conducted to determine vehicle speeds.  The Highway’s Authority was satisfied with the results of the speed survey and visibility splay distances and are also  satisfied with the dimensions of the new access.  There was concern from the Highway’s Authority regarding the footway width, whilst they accepted that there is a departure from standard here, but there is a visibility  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12
