10.1        Full application for the erection of a dwelling together with the formation of a vehicular access on land adjacent to Minffordd Cottage, Penlon, Newborough

The application is presented to the Committee as an application which is contrary to the adopted Ynys Môn Local Plan but that can be supported under the Stopped Unitary Development Plan.

The Planning Development Manager explained that although the application is considered a departure it is one which the Officers are recommending for approval. Penlon is not recognised as a village in the Ynys Môn Local Plan but under the provisions of Policy HP5 of the Stopped Unitary Development Plan it is identified as a hamlet. This policy allows the development of single plots as long as they are infill sites. The site map clearly illustrates that the application site is an infill site with dwellings situated on either side and to the back. The recommendation is therefore one of approval.

Councillor Kenneth Hughes proposed that the application be approved; Councillor Jeff Evans seconded the proposal.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions outlined in the written report.
