Public Speaker

 

Mr Owen Evans, in support of the application, said that the application is for a boutique hotel and a wedding venue at the old county school at Penrallt, Llangefni.  The application is a balance between heritage, conservation and economic regeneration.  The aim is to bring the most recognisable building in Llangefni to use whilst celebrating its historic history and character.  The Penrallt site has been closed since the Coleg Menai campus was closed in 2019.  The site is prominent within the Conservation Area of Llangefni and includes a Grade II Listed War Memorial which will remain central to this project.  The conservation work and the history of the memorial will be conducted with the highest respect and ensuring that the historical and social significant is recognised and understood.  The development will include 13 ensuite bedrooms, a wedding and events hall for up to 200 people, sensitive improvements to the landscape and a car park and a strong focus on sustainability including electric charging points, bicycle storage together with an energy efficient system.  He noted that 26 guests will be accommodated overnight whilst weddings and other events will attract more visitors to the town.  This will attract more business for hotels, cafes and shops in the area.  Work will be undertaken with Plas Arthur Leisure Centre to encourage visitors to make use of the local amenities.  Mr Evans further said that the development will create at least 14 full time and 6 part-time employment and will give further opportunities for local suppliers such as chefs, florists and photographers.  The building work and decorators will prioritise local contractors ensuring that the local investment supports the economy.  The proposed development has been carefully designed to respect and improve the historical context of the site.  The original stone structure, the notable windows and the Dutch style cable end will be kept and restored.  The proposed extensions will be in keeping ensuring that the character of the building continues to contribute positively to Conservation Area.  The landscape plan also recognises the importance of the mature trees around the site and the area around the War Memorial.  The improvements to the site will restore the historical relationship between the building and the Memorial in line with best practice with conservation.  He further said that this project affords a sustainable future for a local landmark which is important for the community, and it safeguards the history of Penrallt, creates local employment and will help the local economy. 

 

The Team Leader reported that the proposal is for the re-development of the former County School building at Penrallt, Llangefni which was thereafter used by  Grwp Llandillo Menai as a satellite campus before becoming vacant.  The building is located within  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12
