(Having declared a personal and prejudicial interest, Councillor Jackie Lewis withdrew from the meeting during the discussion and voting thereon)

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a Local Member.  At its meeting held on 5 October, 2022, the Committee resolved to visit the site and a virtual site visit was conducted on 19 October, 2022.  At its meeting held on 2 November, 2022 the Committee resolved to refuse the application contrary to the Officer’s recommendation as it was considered that the application was deemed to be contrary to planning policy PCYFF2 of the Joint Local Development Plan due to the impact on the amenity of adjacent residential properties by virtue of noise and disturbance due to the increase in the number of bedrooms/occupants together with the overdevelopment of the property.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the justification statement by the applicant states that there is no intention to change the use of the dwelling and the house will be used by family and friends.  Reference has been made to the noise levels that will be generated from the dwelling, however, the noise levels from the each property within the estate generates varied noise levels.  The dormer extension are similar to those that can be seen on the estate.  An extension at the rear of the dwelling, which was approved in 2010, could be built under permitted development without planning permission.  He further said that it is not possible to challenge the principle of the additional bedrooms, however, other material considerations need to be considered.  There are a number of dormer extensions to be seen on the estate and the character of the dwelling as it will be similar to other properties within the estate. He noted further that the Highways Authority has not objected to the proposal, a parking diagram was submitted as part of the justification statement which notes that there is parking spaces for 5 cars at the front of the property. 

Councillors Margaret M Roberts and Ieuan Williams both spoke as Local Members to express their concerns about the proposal from the perspective of the number of occupants it would be able to accommodate and its potential usage as an Airbnb and to accommodate as many as possible to stay at the dwellings.  Councillor Roberts said that she considered that the proposal is contrary to planning policy TWR 2 of the Joint Local Development Plan due to its overdevelopment.  Councillor Margaret M Roberts and Ieuan Williams expressed that it was evident on the site visit that this is a small cul-de-sac of dwellings and accommodating 5 cars in front of the dwellings is impossible.  The property was originally a 2 bedroom bungalow and accommodating the extra vehicles on the estate will be create problems for the neighbours.  Councillor Williams referred to planning policy PCYFF 2 which states that  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a Local Member.

Public Speaker

Mr Nick Smith, in support of the application, said that planning permission was granted by the committee in July, 2022, for the construction of a three storey building comprising a 10-room hotel with restaurant and two flats. Conditions controlling the hours of operation for the restaurant, deliveries and check-ins were attached to the permission. The existing conditions require the restaurant to close at 8pm Monday to Friday and 9pm on Saturdays and Sundays. This is unreasonably restrictive and was unnecessary to make the development acceptable.  The application seeks to vary conditions on the extant planning permission by allowing the restaurant to operate for an additional 2 hours in the evening which includes until 10pm Sunday to Thursday and 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays. Guest’s check-ins would also be amended to correspond with these operating hours. The proposed additional hours would have no impact on the amenity of neighbouring properties. As was highlight there are a mix of commercial premises including pubs and restaurants within the immediate vicinity of the site which are permitted to operate later in the evening than is currently proposed by this application.  The existing planning permission has no control over the use of the external seating area. At present the use of the external seating area is limited to the approved opening hours of the restaurant. An additional condition is proposed to control the use of the outdoor seating area so it would not  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12.
