7.1       19C1136 – Full application for the siting of a mobile building to provide a nursery at Ysgol Gynradd Kingsland

Councillor Jeff Evans declared an interest in this application; he remained at the meeting but did not vote or participate in the matter.

The Planning Development Manager reported that consideration of the application was deferred at the previous meeting of the Planning an Orders Committee in May, 2014 because of Highways issues. Those issues have now been overcome with a supporting letter received from Caban Kingsland confirming parking arrangements. Since receiving the supporting letter, the Highways Department has confirmed that it has no objections to the proposal. The recommendation is therefore one of approval.

Councillor Lewis Davies proposed that the application be approved and his proposal was seconded by Councillor Victor Hughes.

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

7.2       22C40A – Full application for the demolition of existing dwelling and garage, together with the erection of a replacement dwelling and garage, stables, installation of a package treatment plant and alterations to the vehicular access at Cae Maes Mawr, Llanddona

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as it had been called in to the Committee by two of the Local Members.

Having declared an interest in this application Mr John Alun Rowlands, Highways Technician withdrew from the meeting during the discussion thereon.

The Committee noted that Mr Ifan Rowlands who had requested to speak at the meeting in support of the application was not present.

Councillor Carwyn Jones addressing the Committee as a Local Member said that he was speaking to convey the views of a number of concerned residents of Llanddona as well as the unanimous viewpoint of the Community Council in opposing this application for a large dwelling on a coastal site within an AONB. He highlighted the following issues as matters of concern:

•           The preservation of the character of the historical landscape around the Blue Banner beach of Llanddona is important to the community of Llanddona and the Community Council. The coastal area is replete with a patchwork of fields with a cottage here and there; Cae Maes Mawr was one of these ancient cottages before its conversion to a bungalow.

•           The development on the scale proposed comprising of a five bedroomed dwelling with 5 ensuite bathrooms complete with garage and stables will tarnish the view from the beach and will stand out like a sore thumb.

•           The slopes of Llanddona Beach are a known area of land slippage of which there has been a serious occurrence two year ago. Part of the coastal path has been closed recently and cracks in the road to the beach are currently under investigation by the Highways Department. Serious consideration must be given to the possibility of further land slippage as a consequence of this large development.
