7.1 – FPL/2024/228 – Land near Glanynys, Tyddyn Mostyn, Menai Bridge 

FPL/2024/228 

 7.1  FPL/2024/228 - Full application for the erection of an extra care facility and residential care home with community facilities, construction of a new vehicular access, highway improvement works, demolition of the existing dwelling on the site together with associated development on land near Glanynys, Tyddyn Mostyn, Menai Bridge

(Councillors Neville Evans, Dafydd Roberts and Robin Williams declared a personal and prejudicial interest in the application as they are Members of the Executive who have discussed the development.  The Members left the meeting during discussion and voting thereon)    

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application has been submitted by the Council.  At the meeting held on 4 March, 2026 it was recommended that a site visit be undertaken to the site and this subsequently took place on the 18 March, 2026.

Public Speaker

Mr Jamie Bradshaw, agent in support of the application, said that the application is on a site allocated for 40 dwellings in the Local Development Plan, and would respond to an identified local need for this type of accommodation by providing 45 extra care apartments and a 26 bed care home along with supporting facilities such as a café and restaurant and office. This application follows on from successful projects in Llangefni and Holyhead and show the Authority’s commitment to meeting the needs of all its residents.  Access to the site is off the Tyddyn Mostyn Estate with a separate in and out arrangement proposed.  A Transport Assessment has been undertaken that confirms that there is capacity to accommodate the proposal in the local highway network without a harmful impact to its safety or operation.  There would also be no material impact upon access to Ysgol y Borth. A suitable level of parking is proposed that will accommodate the needs of the development whilst also accounting for the accessibility of the site and nature of its occupiers. As a result, the Highways Officers are satisfied, subject to suitable controls and conditions, and the imposition of a Travel Plan and a Construction Traffic Management Plan. The proposal has been designed to ensure that the amenity and privacy of its neighbours are respected. The building has been carefully sited and designed so that it is suitably separated from neighbouring dwellings. It is generally three storeys in height, with the design utilising the site’s land levels to set the lower storey below ground when viewed from Tyddyn Mostyn so that it is one to two storeys in height when viewed from there. The ample landscaped space to the south then separates the site from the houses on Mount Street and Tyddyn Tô. Existing boundary planting has been retained wherever possible and supplemented to further improve separation. A high-quality design is proposed that would provide an attractive and modern building that would complement the site and its setting, with a carefully chosen palette of materials and landscaping ensuring that the development would blend into its location, as shown in  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

11.1 – FPL/2025/9 – Marian, Llanddeusant 

FPL/2025/9 

 The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is 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 for the demolition of an existing dwelling and adjoining structures together with the erection of a new dwelling and the installation of a new sewage treatment plant.  As the application is for a replacement dwelling planning policy TAI 13 in relevant in this instance; consideration should also be given to the information in the ‘Replacement dwellings and conversions in the Countryside’ Supplementary Planning Guidance (September 2019).  The application site is outside the development boundary and in open countryside.  The current dwelling has a lawful residential use, is not a Listed Building and has no architectural, historical or visual value that should be protected and as a result, it is considered that it complies with criterion 1 to 3 of planning policy TAI 13.  The fourth criterion confirms that proposals outside development boundaries are permitted if it is not possible to preserve the existing building by renovating or extending it and/or if it can be shown that repairing the existing building is not economically feasible; this is highlighted in the Supplementary Planning Guidance which states that a structural report should be submitted with each application, which indicates the suitability of the building for reuse (i.e. so that the proposal can be assessed against criterion 4).  Any Structural Report should be supported by a Cost Comparison Report which details the cost of carrying out restoration or modification of the building compared to the costs associated with demolition and rebuilding. A house in need of modernization is not eligible to be considered for demolition and rebuilding. Any cost comparison should include the costs associated with repairing the identified problem and the costs of repairing the building should not include work that is part of the applicant's aspiration. 

A Structural Survey Report was received with the application which had been prepared by a Chartered Structural Engineer together with a Cost Comparison Report.  An External Chartered Consultant appointed by the Council has scrutinized the information and is satisfied with the information presented.  The cost of renovating the existing building is much higher than the cost of building a new dwelling and therefore it is deemed more economically viable to demolish the building and build a new building in its place. The proposal therefore complies with the fourth criterion of the policy.

The fifth criterion does not apply to this application. The sixth criterion states that a house to be rebuilt should be located within the same footprint as the existing building unless it can be shown that relocating within the curtilage reduces its visual impact and its impact on local amenities.  The new dwelling is not on the same footprint as the existing building; however, it is approximately 5m from the footprint of the existing building  ...  view the full minutes text for item 11.

12.1  FPL/2025/246 – Full application for the creation of a surface water retention basin at Amlwch Industrial Estate

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the site is located on land owned by the Local Authority and the applicant is the County Council.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the site is located on the grounds of Amlwch Leisure Centre and Ysgol Syr Thomas Jones.   It is not possible to access the site from the highway and the only way to reach the site is through the fields. The site is adjacent to the Afon Goch, which flows past the site from the south.  The application is for the creation of a water retention basin; the water basin will be connected to the development on land to the west of the site for 10 industrial units approved under planning application FPL/2023/275. The water basin has been designed for extreme rainfall events of 1 in 100, aswell as additional capacity to deal with more rainfall due to climate change. However, the basin will also fill naturally with rainwater and will be a natural low spot as part of the landscape. The basin will be constructed to hold a maximum depth of 1m of water and a minimum of 100mm and water plus losses through natural courses. To encourage a diverse range of aquatic plants it is proposed to plant initial cover and encourage a diverse range of aquatic plants. The dry part and the slopes will be seeded to create a wildflower meadow, and a new mesh fence will be erected around the site for health and safety purposes. Detailed information about the fence must be submitted to the Local Planning Authority and written confirmation received before commencement of the work on the site.

The Planning Development Manager further said that since the publication of the agenda for the meeting, changes have been made to the proposal following comments from the SAB. The location of the water basin has been moved slightly to the west, and it has been reduced in size from 685m² to 563m² and it is no longer necessary to connect with the Afon Goch. This means no agreement is required from any third party. The proposal complies with all the relevant policies in the Joint Local Development Plan. The proposal will ensure additional biodiversity improvements than what is currently on the site and will ensure that water from the industrial units that have already been approved is adequately drained. All consultees support the planning application including Natural Resources Wales and Welsh Water.  Considering there was no objection to the previous plan, the recommendation is to delegate authority to the Officers to decide the application after consulting with Natural Resources Wales and Welsh Water on the changes. As the basin is smaller and as there is no need to connect with the Afon Goch, it is not anticipated that there will be any opposition to the proposal.
