7.1 HHP/2022/230 – Full application for alterations and extensions at Dinas Bach, 5 Ystad y Fron, Aberffraw

 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders having been called in by a Local Member because of local concerns. At its meeting held on 7 December, 2022 the Committee resolved to refuse the application contrary to the Officer’s recommendation on the basis that the proposal was deemed to be contrary to Policy PCYFF 2 of the Joint Local Development Plan due to its impact upon the amenity of the adjacent residential property as a result of the proximity of the development and non-compliance with the indicative minimum distances noted in the Supplementary Planning Guidance, and because of parking issues.

 

The Development Management Manager said that the Officer’s report addresses the reasons cited for the Committee’s decision to refuse the application at its previous meeting. With regard to impact upon amenity, it is recognised that the new single storey side extension will be 0.8m wider than the existing garage which it will replace and will therefore become 0.8m closer to the boundary with neighbouring 4 Y Fron. However, given that a degree of overlooking between neighbouring properties exists at present, and is a natural feature of living in a built up residential area, Officers have to assess whether the proposal’s impact on amenity would be worse than that which already exists. To prevent overlooking, the applicant proposes erecting a 1.95m timber fence on part of the boundary and although this is considered permitted development, it will be a conditioned part of the plans. The proposed extension’s side elevation facing 4 Y Fron will include a bedroom window, a bathroom window and a door opening into the utility; it is considered that adequate measures have been taken and appropriate conditions set i.e. the erection of a fence and use of obscure glazing to protect the privacy and amenities of the neighbours at 4 Y Fron. It is considered that these measures will prevent overlooking between the two properties thereby protecting the privacy and amenities of the neighbours in line with Policy PCYFF 2.

 

In relation to parking, as a four bedroom property three parking spaces must be provided to comply with the requirements of the Highways Authority. The proposed site plan shows three parking spaces as well as additional spaces for more vehicles if needed in compliance with the Highways Authority’s parking standards and policy TRA 2. Concerns raised during the consultation period regarding parking issues on the Y Fron estate is a separate matter for the Highways Authority and will be dealt with separately to the application. The Highways Authority has raised no objections to the application as presented. The Officer’s recommendation therefore remains one of approval.

 

The Development Management Manager further advised that should the Committee be minded to adhere to its previous decision to refuse the application contrary to the Officer’s recommendation, it may lead to the Committee having to defend the decision at appeal with the  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

12.1 ADV/2022/12 – Application for the erection of a wall mounted heritage interpretation sign to the wall of existing toilet/shower building at Public Conveniences, Porth Dafarch, Isallt Road, Trearddur Bay  

 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the Isle of Anglesey County Council is the applicant and the owner of the land.

 

The Development Management Manager  reported that the application along with following applications 12.2 to 12.5 on the agenda form part of a wider scheme across Holyhead being delivered by the Ynys Cybi Landscape Partnership. He referred to the siting, scale design and appearance of the proposed dual language sign under consideration which he confirmed as acceptable and compliant with planning policies PCYFF 2 and PCYFF 3 of the JLDP. Similarly it is not considered that the proposal in terms of scale and visual appearance will have any negative impact  on the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within which it is situated nor on the character of the building on which it will be erected.  The recommendation is therefore to approve the application.

 

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report subject to the planning conditions set out therein.

 

12.2 ADV/2022/13 – Application for the siting of a freestanding heritage interpretation graphic panel at Public Car Park, Lôn St.Ffraid, Trearddur Bay

 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application is being made by the Isle of Anglesey County Council.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that the proposal is a small scale development to provide a bilingual heritage interpretation panel in the car park in Trearddur Bay. It is considered to be of appropriate designs and scale which will ensure its integration within the site with no resulting impact on neighbouring properties. It will be informative, accessible to all and complies with the relevant planning policies of the JLDP. The recommendation is to approve the application.

 

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and report subject to the planning conditions set out therein.

 

12.3 ADV/2022/14 – Application for the erection of a heritage interpretation sign at car park near South Stack, South Stack Road, Holyhead

 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the Isle of Anglesey County Council is the applicant and the owner of the land.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that the application is to erect a freestanding heritage sign which will be located on the west side of the viewing area. The sign which will be bilingual will include information and images regarding the history of Holy Island. It is not considered that the proposal will impact the use or character of the existing viewing platform nor the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in which it is located. The overall siting, scale, design and appearance of the proposed scheme comply with the relevant planning policies and it is therefore recommended that the application be approved.
