7.2  Full application for the demolition of existing workshop, office and showroom, extension of petrol filling station, erection of 2 non-food retail units and provision of additional parking at Pentraeth Services, Pentraeth

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of Councillor Ieuan Williams, a Local Member. The application site was visited by the Committee’s Members on 17th September, 2014.

Councillor Kenneth Hughes, having declared an interest in this application, withdrew from the meeting during the discussion and voting thereon.
