10.1        VAR/2025/6 – Application under Section 73A for the variation of condition (13) (Approved plans) of planning permission reference 23C325 (conversion) of the outbuilding into a dwelling, alterations and extensions together with the erection of a garage and log store) so as to increase the scale and amend the design of the extension to the rear of Bryn Brochan, Talwrn

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the proposal is contrary to planning policy TAI 7 of the Joint Local Development Plan but which the Local Planning is minded to approve.

The Team Leader reported that the previous planning application 23C325 was approved on the 9 September, 2015 for the conversion of the outbuilding into a dwelling, together with alterations and extensions, the erection of a garage and log store at Bryn Brochan, Talwrn.  The application was approved under the previous Local Development Plan which allowed outbuildings to be converted into residential dwellings. A material start has been commenced on the previous planning permission and has been safeguarded under a Lawful Use Certificate; therefore, a fallback position exists on the site that is a material consideration.  The proposal represents a departure from planning policy TAI 7 of the Joint Local Development Plan as it provides an open market residential unit.  However, there is an extant fallback position established through the Lawful Use Certificate for an open market residential unit and this is a material planning consideration and carries significant weight.  This application is for a variation to the previously approved application and consists of increasing the scale and design of the rear extension.  The previously approved extension measured 4.4m x 3.8m x 3.9m in height.  The proposed extension will measure 8.2m x 6.7m and a height of 3 - 3.7m due to topographical levels on the site.  The extension will accommodate one bedroom, kitchen, siting and dining area.  The extension will add approximately 61% increase to the original outbuilding.  It is accepted that this is a large increase and significantly greater than the guidance set out in the SPG on Replacement Dwellings and Conversions in the Countryside; however, as this is a Grade II Listed Building and the importance of safeguarding the derelict Listed Building far outweighs the guidance.  The design of the extension is sympathetic and respectful to the historic character of the Listed Building.  The design and materials are of high quality, and it is considered that there is a clear definition between the original outbuilding and the new extension.   The proposal complies with parking standards and provides adequate ecological enhancements.  The recommendation was of approval of the application.

Councillor John Ifan Jones proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.

Councillor Robin Williams seconded the proposal of approval.

It was RESOLVED to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the planning conditions contained within the report.

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee are the County Council is the applicant and owner of the land.

The Team Leader reported that the application is for the erection of a 2.6m high fence and increase the height of the existing gate at Ysgol Uwchradd Bodedern. The fence will be erected along the northeastern to southern boundaries of the school curtilage, and the existing gates to the southwest of the site will be increased from 2m to 2.6m. The fencing will comprise powder-coated metal panels finished in green. The fence will form a clearly defined and secure boundary around the school grounds to safeguard pupils and staff and prevent unauthorised access and trespassing.  The proposed fencing, at 2.6m in height, is considered proportionate and necessary to enhance site security. The development will not look out of place and will not have an impact any adjacent properties. The fence will be approximately 45m from the nearest residential property. The application will improve biodiversity by providing bird boxes on existing trees. No trees will be felled and where the proposed fencing is in proximity to existing trees and where root diameters exceed 25mm, excavation will be undertaken by hand in accordance with the Council’s Landscape Officer’s recommendations.  The proposal will have no impact on surface water and there will be a clearance gap at the base of the fence to allow surface water to flow as existing. The application complies with the policies noted in the report.

Councillor Robin Williams proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.
