FPL/2026/31

11.1       FPL/2026/61 – Full application for alterations and extensions at 32 High Street, Menai Bridge

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a relevant Officer as defined in the Council’s Constitution.  The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under paragraph 4.6.10.4 of the Constitution.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is a full application for the construction of a single storey flat roof extension at the rear of a dentist and health clinic at 32 High Street, Menai Bridge.  He noted that the Planning and Orders Committee approved a previous application to convert the dwelling into a dentist and health clinic and this application is to construction a further extension to create additional space within the building.  The extension will measure 2.8m x 1.5m and 2.5m high and an extension of this size and on the rear elevation world normally be considered permitted development, however, the site is in a Conservation Area.  As this is a small, high-quality extension to the rear of the building, it will not have an adverse effect on character of the Conservation Area or any neighbouring properties as several of the properties nearby have similar extensions.  The recommendation was of approval of the application.

Councillor Robin Williams and a Local Member said that he had no objection to the application and proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.  Councillor Kenneth P Hughes 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.

12.1  FPL/2026/7 – Full application for the creation of a slurry lagoon on land at Tyn Llan, Penmynydd Road, Penmynydd

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the site is in the ownership of the County Council.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for a  slurry lagoon to improve the existing slurry management system at the farm to conform with the requirements of The Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021. Furthermore, the non-spreading period over winter which has been imposed by the Welsh Government means that all farms must have a minimum slurry storage capacity of five months to comply with the regulations.  The application, as is the case for several farms on Anglesey, is being presented to comply with these regulations.   Section 5.6.8 of Planning Policy Wales states that planning authorities should adopt a constructive approach towards agricultural development proposals, especially those which are designed to meet the needs of changing farming practices or are necessary to achieve compliance with new environmental, hygiene or welfare legislation.   The application site is an agricultural holding of approximately 170 acres, with stock numbers comprising 75 suckler cows and 200 breeding ewes. At present, the southernmost aspect of the existing farm are the two existing concrete slurry stores. These are pre-1991 structures with a usable capacity of approximately 244.7 cubic metres. Slurry calculations included in the farm infrastructure report note a requirement to store 1900 cubic metres. This highlights a significant shortfall in slurry storing capacity on the holding, requiring an upgrade to meet the overall storage capacity requirements set by the Welsh Government.  Natural Resources Wales have no objection to the development which is to improve existing slurry management on the farm.  He noted that 2 letters of objection had been received due to concerns regarding odour, visual impact and impact on neighbouring properties. The proposed lagoon will be around 120m away from the boundary with 4 Glanffrwd to the southeast, which is the closest of a terrace of four properties along the B5420. The lagoon will also be a similar distance away from Tyn Pistyll and Derw Newydd to the south and Tyn Refail to the southwest, each on the opposite side of the public highway. Several other residential properties to the west are between 200m and 350m away from the proposed lagoon.  It is acknowledged that there will be some occasional odour associated with the slurry lagoon and the operation of the farm enterprise, but this is considered a known feature of living in a rural community. When considering the rural setting and the presence of the existing slurry lagoons that are only 30m further away than the proposed lagoon, the development is considered to have no greater impact on residential amenity in the area.  As such the proposal is considered acceptable and is required to comply with Welsh Government regulations, the recommendation was of approval of the application.
