6.1 FPL/2023/15 – Haulfryn, Scotland Terrace, Bodffordd

      FPL/2023/15

 The Planning Development Manager reported that a Local Member has requested that a site visit be undertaken due to local concerns as regards to highways issues and residential amenities. 

Councillor Dylan Rees, a Local Member said that he supported that the site be visited but he understood that the site visit needed to be deferred as Officer’s report were awaited due to road safety.  He expressed that the Highways Authority report should be availabe before conducting a site visit. 

The Planning Development Manager reported that as the Local Member had indicated that he requested a site visit prior to this Committee.  The applicant is Grwp Cynefin and they have targets to secure funding for such an affordable dwellings development.  He considered that receiving the Highways Authority report prior to the site visit would not be possible, but he could outline the concerns of the Local Members and the residents during the site visit. 

Councillor Dylan Rees accepted the comments of the Officer but disagreed as the Highways Authority report is important to be afforded before the site visit is conducted to the site.

Councillor Robin Williams proposed that a site visit be undertaken for the reasons given.  Councillor Neville Evans seconded the proposal.

It was RESOLVED to defer the application to allow for a site visit to take place.

7.1  FPL/2023/181 – Full application for the erection of 6 residential units together with associated development at Shirehall, Glanhwfa Road, Llangefni

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of Local Members due to local concerns on over-development, the need for these units, lack of parking and access in and out of the site. At its meeting held on 5 June, 2024 the members resolved to conduct a site visit which subsequently took place on 19 June, 2024.

Public Speaker

Mr Owain Hughes, applicant’s Agent, in support of the application said that the Shire Hall is an important building in the centre of this town, a building that has been an important part of the entrance to the historic town.  This application gives the applicant an opportunity to add value to the land and to develop the old building. Work has been undertaken with the planning department, to come up with a modern building which is also in keeping with the historical building. Discussions have been undertaken with Natural Resources Wales and they have agreed that there are no flooding issues. The Highways Department has confirmed that they are satisfied with the parking provision on the site and Llangefni has other car parks.

The effect of the proposal, especially on the amenity of nearby land users has been considered in line with the criteria and the intention has been located about 53 meters away from the nearest residential house on Glanhwfa Road. Located between the proposed building and the nearest residential building is a large car park which is used by the staff of Anglesey County Council. Due to the distance and the intervening distance between the intention and nearest residential property, it is not considered that there is a negative effect on nearby residential amenities.  The intention conforms with all policies, the statutory consultants are satisfied with the development. The changes and mass of the building are now acceptable to the department and is not detrimental to the listed building.

The Planning Development Manager reported that Llangefni is identified as an Urban Service Centre under Policy TAI 1 within the Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP).  This policy supports housing to meet the Plan’s strategy through housing allocations and suitable unallocated sites within the development boundary based upon the indicative provision shown within the Policy.  The indicative supply level for Llangefni over the Plan period is 673 units.  During the period 2011 to 2022, a total of 197 units have been completed.  The windfall land bank i.e. sites with existing planning consent, and likely to be developed in April 2022 stood at 67 units; the allocated sites landbank stood at 235.  This proposal would mean that the indicative housing provision in Llangefni would not be exceeded.  Considering the above-mentioned figures under criterion (1b) of Policy PS1, there is no need for a Welsh language statement to support the application.  A housing statement has been received with the planning application and the Housing Department have confirmed  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

12.1  FPL/2024/37 – Full application for an extension to the day centre to provide residential accommodation at Haulfryn, Capel Mawr, Llangristiolus

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application is made on council owned land.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the site is located in the rural cluster of Capel Mawr as defined under the Joint Local Development Plan.  The existing site consists of a building which was previously a dwelling but has recently undergone works to change its use into a day care centre in line with planning permission FPL/2021/310.  The building is a single storey building and set within ample curtilage and includes 2 private accesses from the public highway for access and egress from the site.  The proposal is made for the erection of an extension to the rear of the building which will create space for 3 bedrooms which will be used as living accommodation for 1 member of staff and 2 service users.  It is considered that the proposal conforms with planning policy TAI 11, as the site is within a large plot of land and would not be detrimental to the neighbouring properties.  The Highways Authority has no objection to the application as the proposal will utilise the current access and egress as previously approved.

Councillor Geraint Bebb proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.  Councillor Robin Williams 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 written report.

12.2  FPL/2023/353 – Full application for the erection of 54 new dwellings, construction of new vehicular access and road together with soft and hard landscaping on land adjacent to Cae Rhos, Porthdafarch Road, Holyhead

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of two Local Members due to concerns regarding over-development of the area, highway safety and local concerns.

Public Speaker

The applicant’s Agent, in support of the application said that planning permission has already been granted to develop the site and this application by Clwyd Alyn is for the erection of 54 dwellings including 4 two-bedroom bungalows, 1 two bedroom and 1 three-bedroom wheelchair accessible bungalows, 10 two-bedroom dwellings, 12 three-bedroom dwellings, 6 four-bedroom dwellings and 20 one bedroom flats. The number of dwellings is higher than the previously approved scheme, but this is because this application is proposing smaller homes and flats to meet the local need for affordable homes. The site is within the development boundary of Holyhead and has been earmarked for a housing development in the Joint Local Development Plan. The JLDP estimates that the site is suitable for 53 units (one less that this proposal). Therefore, this application complies with the JLDP and makes better use of the site than the previously approved application.   It is important to note that even though the site has been designated as a residential site requiring only a small  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12.
