 7.1  FPL/2021/349 – Full application for the creation of a private equestrian ménage together with the change of use of agricultural land into an all year camping site at Caerau, Llanfairynghornwy

 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee at the request of a Local Member who expressed concern that the scheme would be tantamount to overdevelopment of the site.  At its meeting held on 15 June, 2022 the Committee resolved to visit the site.  A virtual site visit was subsequently conducted on 29 June, 2022.  At the meeting held on 6 July, 2022, members resolved to defer the application to allow the Officers to revisit the application and to make comparisons to application FPL/2019/22.

 

Public Speaker

 

Mr Marc Whyatt, in support of the application, said that some comments that were made by the objectors to the application were factually incorrect, misleading and confusing. He would like the opportunity to settle any confusion and uncertainty that may have been caused by these comments that could have inadvertently lead to the wrong decision being made. He hoped that enough time has now been given for the committee members to make a professional justified decision from a planning perspective. The application was first submitted back in October of last year, 9 months ago, and we have been working closely with the council to satisfy any areas of concern. Prior to the application, we constructed 2 passing bays on the road which have since been approved, accepted and adopted by the council – this was part of a previous application. We have also conducted a traffic survey, at our expense – as recommended by the council, to satisfy any concerns relating to the flow of traffic on the roads. Councillor Llinos Medi raised a concern about the level of traffic from previous applications that have not yet been developed. Being a family with small children that attend the local Welsh schools and use the local roads, the traffic levels are also a concern to us. He confirmed that the satisfactory traffic survey actually included all of the previous applications as a collective volume of traffic – not just for the campsite. In the previous Committee meeting on 6th July, the planning application was said to be a “carbon copy” of a recently rejected application leading to the idea that this application should also be rejected on the same grounds. The planning application which was used is not comparable to the development. Unlike application FPL/2019/223, their development was considered by the relevant authorities and documented in professional reports satisfying that it does not propose any harm to the AONB. The report was compiled by the Senior Planning Officer and the Senior Landscape and Tree Officer. Application FPL/2019/223 was also rejected because of the negative impact on the residential properties facing and in close proximity to the development. Once again, our development is not comparable as we do not have any residential properties in close proximity to our  ...  view the full minutes text for item 7.

FPL/2020/149

 

Additional documents:

Minutes:

10.1  FPL/2022/116 – Full application for the erection of a dwelling together with associated development (so as to amend the design approved under appeal ref APP/L6805/A/11/2158396) at Gallt y Mwg (Wylfa), Pencarnisiog, Ty Croes

 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is recommended that the application be approved contrary to Policy PCYFF 1 of the Joint Local Development Plan.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that the site benefits from a safeguarded permission for a replacement dwelling which was afforded planning approval under application reference 28C108D which has been safeguarded via a material start and therefore is valid in perpetuity.  The application is to change the design of the dwellings; the safeguarded consent is for a 1.5 storey bungalow and the proposal seeks to obtain permission for a 2 storey dwelling with the roof height being reduced.  The floor space is to be increased from 120m2 to 165m2 and it is proposed to use more modern finishing materials.  Having considered the scheme against the safeguarded consent and the relevant policies within the Joint Local Development Plan, the proposal is deemed to be acceptable as it is an improvement and in keeping with neighbouring properties and the character of the area.  The recommendation was of approval of the application. 

 

Councillor Robin Williams proposed that the application be approved and Councillor Ken Taylor 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.

 

10.2  FPL/2020/149 – Full application for the erection of 8 affordable dwellings together with the creation of a new vehicular access and associated development on land at Stad y Felin, Llanfaelog

 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is recommended that the application be approved contrary to Policy TAI 16 of the Joint Local Development Plan.

 

Public Speaker

 

Mr Rhys Davies, Cadnant Planning, in support of the application said that the success of the original Stad y Felin plan has encouraged Grŵp Cynefin to look to extend the estate and provide more affordable homes for local people who are in need.  The Grwp Cynefin owns the land and the intentionis it to let these houses on social rental, similar to the other houses on the site. The social housing homes enable Grŵp Cynefin to apply for Welsh Government grants to be able to build the homes and keep the rental affordable throughout the lifetime of the houses. As a result of this, this plan has been included in the Anglesey affordable homes development programme which is administered by the Strategic Housing Team with finances earmarked for this financial year. The plan has received positive feedback from Welsh Government as regards design – which has to meet the quality development standards for housing associations and local authorities (2021).  However, Bryn Du is identified as a cluster settlement which is contrary to provisions of planning policy TAI 16.  ...  view the full minutes text for item 10.

Minutes:

 12.1  MAO/2022/13 – Minor amendments to scheme previously approved under planning permission FPL/2019/7 (erection of new primary school and creation of vehicular access) so as to create a new 2.5m wide path to provide better access to the new school, remove the existing wall and the erection of a new fence/wall in its place together with the removal of an Ash tree on land opposite Bryn Meurig, Llangefni

 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application is presented on behalf of the County Council.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that the application is for the creation of a 2.5m wide footway running from the junction of Cildwrn Road B5109 and B4422 towards the relocated agricultural access.  This will involve demolition of the existing stone wall together with re-building the wall with blockwork/pebbledash and set back 1m. Permission has already been granted for a 2m wide footway in this area under the previously approved permission.  The application is also for the creation of a 2.5m wide path from the agricultural access to the new school by removing the stone wall, hedge and tree to be replaced with a mixture of 1.2m high weldmesh fence with a new native mixed hedgerow located behind, and anew limestone wall together with the planting of 2 trees.  The previously approved scheme identified a 2.5m wide footway in this area, however, there are some discrepancy in the proposed plans and a 2.5m wide footway is not possible without removal of the existing stone wall and Ash tree which was not part of the previously approved scheme.  An Arboricultural report has been submitted and has identified that the tree is infected by Ash Dieback and the report states that the tree needs to be removed within 6 months.  The Landscape Officer has confirmed the presence of the disease and it is unlikely that the tree can be retained beyond 10 years.

 

Councillor Geraint Bebb proposed that the application be approved and 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  MAO/2022/16 – Minor amendments to scheme previously approved under planning permission FPL/2021/361 (erection of new foundation phase unit) so as to allow the re-wording of conditions (07) (biosecurity risk assessment), (17) (construction traffic management plan), (18) (landscaping), (20) (pedestrian paths) and (21) (landscape) on land adjacent to Ysgol y Graig, Llangefni

 

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the application is presented on behalf of the County Council.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that the application is for minor amendment to the previously approved scheme as regards to Conditions (07), (17), (18), (20), (21) so as to allow temporary works to the access before discharging the conditions so as to allow temporary access for archaeologist to gain access to the site.

 

Councillor Geraint Bebb proposed that the application be approved and Councillor Alwen P Watkin  ...  view the full minutes text for item 12.
