Public Speaker

Ms Nia Hughes, the applicant in support of the application, said that she has been keeping animals for over 30 years and is a local person living in Newborough.  She noted that she has a flock of rare Ryeland sheep, two ponies, alpacas and dogs.  The intention of the shelter is to care for the animals.  There has been a shelter on the land since 2010, and the original shelter was built with planning permission in 2013 but following a storm the shelter was destroyed.  It was decided, for safety reasons, to demolish the shelter and to build another shelter further down from the original shelter as it was impairing the view of the small cottage of Aberhoccwn.  She said that she was unaware for the need to contact the Planning Department and that planning permission to re-build the shelter was required as previous permission was given.  She noted that she needs to stay in the shelter for 2 to 3 months a year to care for her animals during lambing.  She further said that she has had positive comments as regards to the shelter over a number of years by local residents aswell as visitors. 

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for the retention of the existing shelter on site, which includes a room for keeping animals, a covered decking area, shower, toilet and sink and to allow for the retention of the touring caravan which is attached to the shelter.  During the Site Visit to the site on the 18 February, 2026 there was a sheep and two lambs in the shelter with the floor area covered with straw, the French Doors had been removed and some of the other windows were covered. During a visit by Enforcement Officer in August 2025, there was no evidence that the shelter had been used for animals and the shelter was furnished with a sofa, other furniture as well as a log burner.  When the Case Officer visited the site in December 2025, there were 3 alpacas in the shelter.  It was clear that the caravan and the shower room had been used for a period of time and it did not appear as a temporary shelter.  The fact that it was connected to the septic tank is further evidence of continuous use.  The wooden floor is unsuitable for the purpose for animals, and it will rot as animal droppings fall between the gaps in the flooring.  The floor should have been made of concrete to place clean strow for the animals.   He further said that the current building is not suitable in terms of its size  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

 10.1  VAR/2025/43 – Application under Section 73 for the variation of condition (12) (Approved Plans) of planning permission V2191b (detailed application for the erection of 5 bungalows) so as to amend the design on land adjacent to High Tide, Ravenspoint Road, Trearddur Bay

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

Public Speaker

Mr Elfed Williams, applicant’s agent, in support of the application, said that planning permission was given in 1973 for the erection of 5 bungalows on the site.  A material start on the development was undertaken in 1978 by creating an entrance and a section of the road into the site.  In 2008 a Certificate of Lawful Development was received as proven start of the development.  He further said that this application is for the variation of condition (12) (Approved Plans) for a new design of the dwellings, on the same footprint with two entrances and the same access road and also to safeguard wildlife around the site.  The size of the two-storey dwelling will be 158m2 compared to 147m2 in the previous application.  The Planning Officers recognise the amended plans as an improvement in relation to size, layout entrance and ecological requirements.  There has been no objection by the Ecology Officer or the Highways Authority. 

The Planning Development Manager reported that the planning permission for 5 open market dwellings was granted on the site on the 30 November, 1973.  An application for a Certificate of Lawful Development was submitted and therefore it was proven that material commencement had been made on the site and permission for 5 dwellings had been safeguarded.  He noted that planning approval was granted in 1973 for 5 open market dwellings on the site and following this, an application for a Certificate of Lawful Development was submitted and it was proven that material commencement had been undertaken on the site.  As a result, planning permission V/2191B has been lawfully implemented and permission for 5 dwellings had been safeguarded.  The application submitted is for the change in the design, size and layout of the residential units to align with modern requirements and standards.  The dwellings will be a high quality and to comply with current legislation and policies, biodiversity has also been improved.  The effects on ecology, the Welsh language, the amenities of neighbouring properties, highways and drainage are considered acceptable.  The recommendation was of approval of the application.

Councillor Dafydd Rhys Thomas, a Local Member, said that he had no objection to the variation of the application as he considered that it is an improvement to the previous application.  He requested that the applicant should consider a Welsh name for the development rather than High Tide. The Agent confirmed that a Welsh name for the development has been considered.  The developer will ask the Trearddur Community Council for a suggestion for a Welsh name for the estate.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 10.
