Mr Elfed Williams, applicant’s agent, in support of the application, said that planning permission was given in 1973 for the erection of 5 bungalows on the site.  A material start on the development was undertaken in 1978 by creating an entrance and a section of the road into the site.  In 2008 a Certificate of Lawful Development was received as proven start of the development.  He further said that this application is for the variation of condition (12) (Approved Plans) for a new design of the dwellings, on the same footprint with two entrances and the same access road and also to safeguard wildlife around the site.  The size of the two-storey dwelling will be 158m2 compared to 147m2 in the previous application.  The Planning Officers recognise the amended plans as an improvement in relation to size, layout entrance and ecological requirements.  There has been no objection by the Ecology Officer or the Highways Authority. 

The Planning Development Manager reported that the planning permission for 5 open market dwellings was granted on the site on the 30 November, 1973.  An application for a Certificate of Lawful Development was submitted and therefore it was proven that material commencement had been made on the site and permission for 5 dwellings had been safeguarded.  He noted that planning approval was granted in 1973 for 5 open market dwellings on the site and following this, an application for a Certificate of Lawful Development was submitted and it was proven that material commencement had been undertaken on the site.  As a result, planning permission V/2191B has been lawfully implemented and permission for 5 dwellings had been safeguarded.  The application submitted is for the change in the design, size and layout of the residential units to align with modern requirements and standards.  The dwellings will be a high quality and to comply with current legislation and policies, biodiversity has also been improved.  The effects on ecology, the Welsh language, the amenities of neighbouring properties, highways and drainage are considered acceptable.  The recommendation was of approval of the application.

Councillor Dafydd Rhys Thomas, a Local Member, said that he had no objection to the variation of the application as he considered that it is an improvement to the previous application.  He requested that the applicant should consider a Welsh name for the development rather than High Tide. The Agent confirmed that a Welsh name for the development has been considered.  The developer will ask the Trearddur Community Council for a suggestion for a Welsh name for the estate.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 10
