11.1  31C134H/DEL – Application under Section 73 for the removal of conditions (03), (04) and (05) (Code for Sustainable Homes) of planning permission reference 31C134E ‘ full application for the erection of 5 dwellings together with the construction of a vehicular access’ on land adjacent to Cae Cyd, Llanfairpwll

 

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is a close friend of a ‘relevant officer’ as defined within paragraph 4.6.10.2 of the Constitution.  The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under paragraph 4.6.10.4 of the Constitution.

The Development Control Manger reported that under TAN 22 – Planning for Sustainable Buildings, new housing developments were required to meet the requirements of the Code for Sustainable Homes and there was a policy requirement to impose planning conditions to meet that objective.  In its clarification letter of 5th June, 2014, Welsh Government through its Minister for Housing & Regeneration announced the withdrawal of the policy on 31st July, 2014. 

 

Councillor Lewis Davies proposed that the application be approved and Councillor R.O. Jones seconded the proposal.

 

It was RESOLVED to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions set out in the written report.

 

11.2  31C422 – Full application for alterations and extensions including the raising of the roof to form a first floor at Ceris, Llanfairpwll

 

Whilst not a Member of the Planning and Orders Committee, Councillor R. Meirion Jones declared an interest in respect of this application as a Local Member and left the meeting during consideration of the application.

 

The application is presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a relevant officer as defined within paragraph 4.6.10.2 of the Constitution.  The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under paragraph 4.6.10.4 of the Constitution.

 

Mr. Sutton addressed the meeting as an objector to the application.  He said that he was speaking on behalf of his own family and his neighbours.  The plan at Ceris, Llanfairpwll is to increase the height of the property by 2 metres which would entail substantial overlooking; Ceris overlooks his gardens as it is.  Trees at the end of Ceris’ garden, planted on the border, already cuts light and grow over to the neighbouring property.  Mr. Sutton stated that at present there is practically no overlooking but the approval of this application would dramatically change the situation.  At present the roofline of Ceris and adjoining properties is in proportion, this would change in a manner out of keeping with the rest of the visible area. 

 

Mr. Owen Evans addressed the meeting as a supporter of the application.  He said that Ceris, Llanfairpwll is located on Penmynydd Road, Llanfairpwll.  Properties on this road have numerous architectural designs and size.  Ceris, Penmynydd is a dormer bungalow with a low ridge of 7ft.  The owners are finding it difficult to live at the property due to its size at present.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 11
