7.1 OP/2021/10 – Outline application for the erection of 10 dwellings with associated access, internal access road and parking together with full details of access and layout on land adjacent to Tyn y Ffynnon, Llanerchymedd

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders having been called in by a former Local Member due to the concerns of residents and Community Council members about the likely loss of expedited parking.

At its meeting held on 15 June, 2022 the Committee resolved to undertake a site visit. A virtual site visit was subsequently held on 22 June, 2022.

Public Speaker

Sioned Edwards, Cadnant Planning addressed the meeting in support of the application saying that the proposed development for 10 dwellings would help meet the demand for housing on the Island locally; two of the 10 units would be affordable and would be made available for local people only and they would remain so in perpetuity. The application site has been designated for housing within the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP) meaning that the principle of providing a residential development on the site has been considered and accepted. The proposal offers a mix of homes to attract families, couples and older people with provision for both houses and bungalows. The proposed housing mix has been assessed and is acceptable to the Council’s Housing Service. Sioned Edwards said that while the original scheme had been for 16 residential units, it emerged during consultation with Welsh Water at the pre application stage that only 10 units could be accommodated by the water treatment network in the area. The other main issue arising was the loss of and impact of informal parking available to local residents on the road at the front of the site. Throughout the process the applicant and agent have sought to work with the Community Council and the Highways Service to make changes to the application in order to provide parking provision for those Llanerchymedd residents who currently park along the front of the site. It should be noted that these are not formal parking spaces and those cars are at present parked on the roadside. The proposal has now been amended to provide 12 formal on-site parking spaces to replace the informal parking lost at the front of the site.  A late request by the Highways Service is that 3 of the parking spaces be moved closer to the highway; however this is not possible without having a damaging impact on the setting of the remainder of the site. Every effort has been made to improve the parking situation for current residents and the applicant can do no more in this respect. The proposal offers an improvement on the current situation for both residents and road users and it is considered the application is acceptable in terms of parking and road safety. It is therefore hoped the Committee is able to support the application.

The Development Management Manager confirmed that the principle of the provision of residential development on  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

11.1 – HHP/2022/163 - Tan y Garnedd, Lon Fferam Uchaf, Pentraeth.

HHP/2022/163

11.1 HHP/2022/163 – Full application for alterations and extensions at Tan y Garnedd, Lon Fferam Uchaf, Pentraeth

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is a ”relevant officer” as defined within paragraph 4.6.10.2 of 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 Development Management Manager reported that the dwelling is a detached property situated within its own grounds. The proposal entails the construction of a pitched roof garage and sun room to the side elevation. The proposed extension is considered modest in terms of its size, scale and massing and can be accommodated within the applicant’s land without resulting in over development of the site. The newly formed extension will not overlook neighbouring properties due to timber fencing and panelling and will not unacceptably impact on the amenities of neighbouring properties to such a degree to warrant refusal. The proposal fits in with the immediate area as regards scale and design and is considered to be compliant with the policies of the JLDP. The recommendation is therefore to approve the application.

Councillor Robin Williams proposed, seconded by Councillor Ken Taylor 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 contained therein.

12.1 VAR/2022/36 – Application under Section 73 for the variation of condition (02) (submission of reserved matters) of planning permission reference OP/2019/6 (demolition of former chemical works and erection of 7 business units) so as to allow further time for the submission of the reserved matters at the former Peboc site, Llangefni 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as it has been submitted by the Local Authority.

The Development Management Manager reported that there has been no change in circumstances or local policy since the outline permission was granted and so the variation of the condition to allow additional time for the submission of the reserved matters is therefore acceptable. The recommendation is therefore one of approval.

Councillor Robin Williams 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 contained therein.

12.2 FPL/2022/87 – Full application for the change of use of part of the former school playing field into a children’s play area at Llangaffo Primary School, Llangaffo

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application is made on land which is owned by the County Council.

The Development Management Manager reported that former Llangaffo Primary School is located along the B4419 in the middle of the village. The former school building itself is located within the development boundary as defined by the JLDP whilst the playing field is located outside but adjoining the boundary. Access to the proposed playing field will be afforded via a wooden gate off the highway; the highway is paved throughout the village providing safe access to all users. The application site is considered to be in a sustainable location and is easily accessible on foot, by cycle or other means of transport. Although it is expected that most users will be local as the nearby villages of Gaerwen and Newborough have their own playing fields, the village hall located up the road could be used as a parking hub should people want to come to the playing field by car. Being a small scale development adjoining the development boundary and within a sustainable location, the proposal is considered to conform to Policy ISA 2 of the JLDP which is the relevant policy for assessing a community facility development of this type. The site is well screened and given the previous use of the land as a school playing field, it is not considered that the proposal will impact the neighbouring properties to such a degree as to warrant refusal. The recommendation is therefore to approve the application.

Councillor Robin Williams proposed, seconded by Councillor Ken Taylor 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 condition contained therein.
