Departure Applications

Minutes:

10.1    VAR/2020/57 – Application under Section 73A for the variation of condition (06) (Drainage Details), condition (09) (Structural Alterations) and condition (10) (Development to be carried out in strict conformity to plans/ documents received) of planning permission reference 28C202C (Full application for the conversion of a stable into a dwelling, creation of a new vehicular access together with the installation of  a septic tank) so as to provide drainage information after commencement of works, and amendments to plans previously approved at Ty Newydd Bach, Llanfaelog, Ty Croes

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the proposal is contrary to policies of the Joint Local Development Plan but which the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that the application is to amend the conditions of a consent already granted to convert a stable into a dwelling to allow the submission of drainage details after the commencement of works, further structural alterations and amendments to the extension. Additional re-building work has been undertaken around some of the window openings which was not previously identified for re-building in the original structural survey; the structural survey has been updated to reflect the building as it is currently. The extension that has been built is also different to that approved as the report details. However, the changes are considered acceptable having no greater impact on adjacent residential properties than the approved scheme. Although the application is contrary to Policy TAI 7 of the Local Joint Development Plan the fall-back position is that a material start has commenced on the prior approval thereby safeguarding the permission and, taken with the acceptability of the amendments to the scheme, the recommendation is to approve the application.

 

Councillor Eric Jones proposed, seconded by Councillor Kenneth Hughes, 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 listed therein.

 

10.2    VAR/2021/8 – Application under Section 73A for the variation of condition (16) (Approved Plans) of planning permission reference 45C133B (erection of 3 dwellings together with the construction of a vehicular access) so as to allow amended plans on land at Bryn Felin, Newborough.

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is a departure from the Joint Local Development Plan which the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that the application is to vary the planning conditions so as the amend the plans for plot 3 in order to change the ground floor garage into a bedroom and to install 2 additional windows to a ground floor study and a first floor bedroom. The majority of the application site is located outside the settlement boundary of Newborough and as such the proposal is contrary to the provisions of Policy PCYFF 1 of the Joint Local Development Plan.  However, because of the fall-back position provided by the extant planning permission which is in the process of being implemented and because the proposed changes to the scheme are considered minor in nature and are acceptable, the recommendation is to approve the application.

 

Councillor Robin Williams proposed, seconded by Councillor Trefor Lloyd Hughes, MBE, 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 listed therein and subject also to the receipt of outstanding information as described in the report and responses from outstanding consultees.

 

10.3    VAR/2021/11 – Application under Section 73 for the variation of condition (02) of planning permission reference 36C320A and MAO/2018/3 (erection of a dwelling) so as to amend the design at Ty Uchaf, Llangristiolus

 

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the proposal is contrary to policies of the Joint Local Development Plan but which the Local Planning Authority is minded to approve.

 

The Development Management Manager reported that since the adoption of the Joint Local Development Plan, Llangristiolus is identified as a Local Village under the provisions of Policy TAI 4. The application site is not within the development boundary of Llangristiolus and is therefore classed as being in the open countryside. However, a material start has commenced on the previous permission thereby safeguarding the permission and a lawful use certificate has been granted. The proposed amended design of the dwelling is of a higher quality than the approved scheme and in matching the form of development in the immediate area it will better fit in with the adjacent properties. On the basis of the fall-back position and the improved design details the recommendation is to approve the application.

 

Councillor Dafydd Roberts proposed, seconded by Councillor Kenneth Hughes, that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation.

 

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