7.1 FPL/2024/76 – Full application for the erection of 27 affordable dwellings, construction of internal access road, diversion of public right of way, creation of a landscaping bund, erection of acoustic fence and associated works on land north of Y Garnedd, Llanfairpwll

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of Local Members. At its meeting held on 2 October 2024 the Committee determined to undertake a site visit which subsequently took place on 23 October 2024.

 

Having declared a personal and prejudicial interest in this application, Councillor Glyn Haynes left the meeting during the discussion and voting thereon. The item was chaired by Councillor Neville Evans, Vice-Chair for the meeting.

 

Public Speaker

 

Sioned Edwards, Cadnant Planning spoke in support of the application saying that the proposed housing would be developed by DU Construction on behalf of Clwyd Alyn Housing Association who would own the properties. All 27 dwellings would be affordable and would be available for rent on an affordable basis. The dwellings would not be available for sale but would remain in the ownership of Clwyd Alyn Housing Association. The application site is outside but immediately adjacent to the development boundary of Llanfairpwll and as such is assessed as an exception site under Policy TAI 16 which supports applications for affordable housing outside but adjacent to settlement boundaries providing they also meet a local need for housing that cannot otherwise be met on sites within the boundary within a reasonable timescale. Over the lifespan of the LDP from 2011 to this day, two affordable houses have been developed in Llanfairpwll and currently there is no planning permission for any further affordable housing in the village. Housing need figures for Llanfairpwll show a significant need for housing to which the lack of affordable housing provision over the past 13 years as well as rising house prices and small increase in wages have contributed. The need for affordable housing especially two and three bedroom units is increasing year on year as attested to by the Council’s Housing Service’s housing data and the Housing Need Assessment carried out by the Rural Housing Facilitator in 2021. The proposal and the mix of housing units which it offers would make a significant contribution towards meeting this housing need.

 

Ms Edwards referred to traffic considerations confirming that extensive discussions have been held with the Highways Department prior to and during the engagement period with access through the Garnedd estate having initially been discussed in 2020. There are no objections in principle to the proposal from a highway and traffic perspective. Llanfairpwll is an easily accessible location as regards public transport and the application site is within walking distance of local facilities. The Traffic Report submitted with the application confirms that no accidents have been recorded in the site’s catchment in the last five years and there would be no substantial increase in traffic movements as a result of the proposal and therefore no significant impact on the local road  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

12.1 ADV/2024/7 – Application for the siting of three non-illuminated signs at Brwynog Residential Care Home, Madyn Dysw, Amlwch

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is being made by the Isle of Anglesey County Council.

 

The Planning Development Manager in reporting that the application is for three bilingual non illuminated signs at Brwynog Residential Care Home referred to the sign details as set out in the Officer’s report. He described the proposal as a small scale development of appropriate design and scale to ensure its integration within the site which would have no impact upon neighbouring properties, roads or the surrounding area. As such the recommendation is to approve the application.

 

Councillor Jeff Evans proposed, seconded by Councillor Robin Williams that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.

 

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report subject to the planning conditions set out therein.

 

12.2 FPL/2024/263 – Full application for the installation of a 2 metre high net above the existing fence at Jesse Hughes Youth and Community Centre, Kingsland Road, Holyhead

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it involves a site which is owned by the Isle of Anglesey County Council.

 

The Planning Development Manager reported that the proposal is to instal a 2m high net above the southern side of the existing 3m high fence around the multi-use games area at the Jesse Hughes Centre to prevent balls going over to the rear gardens of the properties on King’s Road. There have been no objections to the proposal and it will not have any impact on the surrounding area or neighbouring properties. The application is therefore recommended for approval.

 

Councillor Robin Williams proposed, seconded by Councillor Jeff Evans that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.

 

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report subject to the planning conditions set out therein.

 

12.3 FPL/2024/254 – Full application for a new childcare modular building at Llangoed Primary School, Llangoed

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the Isle of Anglesey County Council is the applicant and landowner.

 

The Planning Development Manager described the proposal and site and advised that the proposed childcare building and car parking area’s siting, scale, design and appearance are considered acceptable and will not have any negative impact on the existing site or on the surrounding properties or area. The application is therefore recommended for approval. 

 

Councillor Jeff Evans proposed, seconded by Councillor Geraint Bebb that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.

 

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report subject to the planning conditions set out therein and to delegate to the Officer the authority to determine the application upon receipt of further information and amendments to the plans as requested by the Highways Authority.
