12.1 VAR/2025/18 – Application under Section 73 for the variation of condition (02) (sale of non-food goods only) of planning permission reference FPL/2023/18 (Retrospective consent for the sub-division of a single retail unit into 2 separate retail units) so as to allow for the sale of food from Unit 2a at Herron Services, Glanhwfa Road, Llangefni
The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a Local Member.
The Planning Development Manager reported that Condition (02) of planning permission reference FPL/2023/18 (condition 13) of the original permission ref 34C72Q/ECON) states that ‘The retail units hereby approved shall only be used for the sale of non-food goods and for no other purpose specified in Class A1’. Analysis of planning application 34C72Q/ECON indicates that the permission sought in relation to the retail units was specifically for ‘non-food’ retail use, and it appears that the condition restricting use was imposed solely on the basis of the applicant’s original specification as the Officer’s delegated report provides no clear planning or policy justification for restricting the use of the units to non-food retail. Having regard to the fact that no material change of use is proposed, the variation of Condition (02) of planning permission FPL/2023/18, to allow for the sale of food from Unit 2a is therefore considered to be acceptable. The Herron Garage next to the proposed application sells food, and there has been no objections received as regards to the proposal and the Highways Authority have been consulted and have raised no objection.
Councillor Geraint Bebb and a Local Member said that there are comments on social media and within the Town Council that there are over provision of fast food and hairdressers in Llangefni . He referred that there is already a problem with litter from the Subway fast-food outlet in Herron Garage and approving this application would increase the litter problems. He further said that there is a high volume of traffic entering the Herron garage already and this application would further increase traffic on the Glanhwfa Road. Councillor Bebb proposed that the application be refused contrary to the Officers recommendation as it is contrary to planning conditions MAN 3 and MAN 7.
The Planning Development Manager responded that this is not a change of use application and is still a Class A1 definition. He considered that there is sufficient parking availability in front of the Units on the site and is within the development boundary of Llangefni and is of walking distance from the Town centre. He further said that he did not consider that there will be an increase in traffic that justifies refusing the application and he did not consider that the proposal was contrary to planning conditions MAN 3 and MAN 7.
Councillor Dafydd Roberts expressed that there are take-away/fast-food litter thrown onto the highway and outside these premises. He ascertained whether a condition could be imposed on fast-food outlets to ensure that they contribute towards clearing the litter as the name ... view the full minutes text for item 12
