 7.1  FPL/2025/97 – Full application for the demolition of the existing dwelling and the erection of a replacement dwelling at Porta Delgada, Ravens Point Estate, Trearddur Bay

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a Local Member.  At its meeting on the 2 July, 2025 the committee resolved to undertake a site visit, and this subsequently took place on 30 July, 2025.

Public Speakers

Mr Hayward Milton, objecting the proposal, said that the property, Ponta Delgada, is on an outer corner of Ravens Point, viewed from the sea and in a prominent visible location from the northerly end of Trearddur Bay’s main bay and all the way through 240 degrees to the approaches from Rhoscolyn.  During the site visit it was visible that a number of two storey houses are nearby.  However, this plot was developed as part of the wider Ravenspoint scheme, designed by the award-winning Welsh Architect which stated that all the dwelling houses are to be single storey buildings.  The purpose of the restriction and protection was to make the estate function for the benefit of all, to preserve the natural shape and appearance of the coastline, to serve a wider community and prevent the overly expansive plans of individuals.  Nothing has changed to justify over-riding this planning requirement.  He said that some of the properties have built dormer accommodation into their roof-space and this application would be the first to be a two-storey development.  Ponta Delgada’s corner elevation makes the development most sensitive.  This application has critical potential to reset the boundaries of what is acceptable and release uncontrollable developments and breaking the wider function of the estate and losing the shape of the headland.  The applicant may present the existing property as being two-storey but some storage and bathroom fittings into the roof-space, accessible only by external staircase, hardly makes a two-storey dwelling.  The applicant draws comparison with the two-storey property ‘Lookout’ which is located behind the application site, but this house was excluded from the planning restriction.  He noted that the applicant did not consult with the resident of the estate as regards to this proposal.  The proposal is contrary to the Local Authority’s Planning Guidance Design Guide requirement.  He noted that there has been written objections by several residents as regards to the scale, massing, floorspace and the overbearing impact of the proposed development.

Ms Sioned Rowlands, the Applicant’s Agent, in support of the application, said that the application site is located within the development boundary of Trearddur Bay. Planning policy 7 of TAI 13 states that new dwellings do not have to be of the same scale as the current property.  Whilst the proposed development will increase the surface area, the site is a double plot, and a larger dwelling can be accommodated on the site. She noted objections have been raised by the neighbouring properties that only a single storey dwelling should be erected on this estate but there are two-storey dwellings nearby.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7
