Departure Applications pdf icon PDF 443 KB

10.1 – VAR/2020/60 – Ty Newydd, Llanfair yn Neubwll

https://ioacc.force.com/s/papplication/a1G4H00000NA2fmUAD/var202060?language=en_GB

Minutes:

10.1  VAR/2020/60 – Application under Section 73A for the variation of condition (08) (Landscape scheme) and (09) (Approved drawings) of planning permission reference 32C128F (Erection of a dwelling) so as to allow amended design and submission of a landscape scheme after work has begun on land at Ty Newydd, Llanfair yn Neubwll

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application is a departure from the development plan which the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that part of the dwelling and it curtilage is located outside the settlement boundary defined under the provisions of policy PCYFF1 of the Joint Local Development Plan and it is therefore a departure from the current development plan.  Given that there is an extant planning permission for a residential dwelling on the site it does not lead to a recommendation of refusal in accordance with the provisions of policy PCYFF1.   She further said that the public consultation period does not come to an end until 11 February, 2021 and requested that the Officers be afforded power to act following the public consultation period if no new representations have been received.

 

Councillor T Ll Hughes MBE proposed that the application be approved and Councillor Dafydd Roberts seconded the proposal.

 

It was RESOLVED to approve the application and to grant the Officer’s power to act following the statutory public consultation period coming to an end.

 

10.2  FPL//2020/249 – Full application for the erection of a dwelling together with associated development (so as to amend the design and siting approved under application reference 42C258A) on land to the rear of Tyddyn Orsedd, Rhoscefndir

 

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

 

The Development Management Manager reported that the application has extant planning consent and it is considered that the amendments to the design would be an improvement to the previous approved application.  There has been opposition to the application by local residents due to private rights in respect of drainage of surface water but these are legal matters outside the planning remit and would needs agreement before developing the site.  Condition 1 within the report needs to be amended to reflect that the development shall begin no later than 8 December, 2022 due to the fall-back position as the site has an extant planning permission.

 

Councillor Robin Williams proposed that the application be approved and Councillor Eric W Jones seconded the proposal.

 

It was RESOLVED to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the planning conditions contained within the written report and that Condition 1 within the report be amended to reflect that the development shall begin no later than 8 December, 2022 due to the fall-back position as the site has an extant planning permission.

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application encompasses Council owned land.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that discussions have been undertaken with the applicant as regards to mitigation and ecological issues together with loss of sand dune areas and potential impact on lizards. She noted that the Council’s Ecological and Environmental Adviser has been in discussions with the applicant as regards to moving some of the sand dunes as there is a statutory obligation under the Environmental Wales Act in maintaining and enhancing biodiversity; however the applicant does not own adequate land to meet the criteria.  The applicant has offered mitigation proposals under the decking area at the site but the Ecological and Environmental Advisor does not consider that those measures are appropriate nor effective as regards to this application.  The Development Management Manager said that due to the objection as noted by the Ecological and Environmental Advisor the recommendation is now of refusal of the application and the application will need to be deferred so as to allow Officer’s to prepare a report to the next meeting of this Committee.
