 10.1 – FPL/2025/11 – Maes Merddyn, Brynsiencyn

FPL/2025/11

10.1  FPL/2025/11 – Full application for the proposed erection of 9 open market dwellings and 19 affordable dwellings together with associated development on land adjacent to Maes Merddyn, Brynsiencyn

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application has an open market element of the scheme which constitutes a departure from the Joint Local Development Plan by virtue of being outside of the development boundary, however due to the safeguarded fallback position on the site, the Local Planning Authority are minded to approve.

Public Speaker

Mr Jamie Bradshaw, the applicant agent, in support of the application, said that the proposal is for an affordable led scheme to provide high quality homes to meet an identified housing need in Brynsiencyn. The scheme provides a mix of ‘traditional’ affordable homes and low-cost open market houses, this follows on from a previous development that was approved on the site for 13 houses, only 4 of which would be affordable, and with the majority being large detached executive style homes. That permission was started by the previous owner of the site and so it is still alive, or extant, and could be completed at any time. The proposal if for 20 houses and 8 flats, with 19 of these being traditional affordable homes, and 9 being low-cost open market housing. The site is being developed for Clwyd Alyn, who would offer the houses for local people in affordable housing need. Importantly, there is a clear housing need for the dwellings which is confirmed by evidence in the Social Housing and Tai Teg housing registers, and so the development would make a valuable contribution to addressing the housing crisis in this part of the Island; the Planning and Housing Officers are entirely satisfied that there is a clear need for the scheme.  The proposal includes a good quality access onto the A4080, and off-road parking within the site for the dwellings and visitors. There is capacity in the local road network to accommodate the development, and especially so when the extant permission on the site is accounted for, and the Highways Officers have not opposed the proposal.  The proposed development would be a high quality and well landscaped scheme that would sit well within the locality and would be attractive and would also provide ecology mitigation for its limited impacts and achieve enhancements. This is confirmed by the Planning and Ecology Officers support for the scheme and NRW’s stance on the application.  A suitable drainage scheme is proposed for surface water, which will be dealt with entirely within the site; foul drainage would connect to the sewer in the road. Welsh Water are entirely satisfied with the drainage scheme as are the relevant Officers.  All others statutory consultees have not opposed the scheme.  However, it is noted that there are some concerns from local residents regarding impacts upon their privacy and amenity, but the development is well separated from its neighbours, more than meeting policy requirements.

(Councillor Geraint Bebb declared a personal interest in application 12.1 and left the meeting during discussion and voting thereon)

(The Planning Development Manager declared a personal and prejudicial interest in application 12.1 and left the meeting during discussion and voting thereon)

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is a relevant officer as defined in the Constitution. The planning application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer.

The Team Leader reported that the proposal includes the demolition of a flat roof garage with the erect of a single storey flat roof extension which will link from the existing living room to provide a small utility, bathroom and a kitchen/dining area which will lead onto a patio which will be in the rear garden area.  The proposal is considered acceptable in terms of design and appearance and is in keeping with the property and the general form of development in the area and is of a high quality.  The proposal therefore complies with planning policy PCYFF3.  No trees or hedges will be removed as a result of the development and ecological enhancements have been included with the erection of 2 bird boxes and a bat box.  It is considered that the bird and bat boxes will enhance biodiversity and complies with Strategic Policy PS19, Policy AMG5 and advice contained within Planning Policy Wales Edition 12.  The Highways Authority has confirmed that they have no objection to the proposal and are satisfied with the Construction Traffic Management Plan submitted with the application.  She further said that the development will not have a detrimental effect on the neighbouring property to the south of the site and complies with the required distance from 8 Perth y Paen and Ceris.  It is not considered that the proposal will have a negative impact upon the amenities of adjacent properties and complies with the distances set out in the Supplementary Planning Guidance.  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 within the report.
