11.1 HHP/2021/315 – Full application for alterations and extensions together with the demolition of the existing garage at 37 Penlon, Menai Bridge

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is a ”relevant person” as defined within paragraph 4.6.10.2 of the Council’s Constitution. The application has been scrutinised by the Monitoring Officer as required under paragraph 4.6.10.4 of the Constitution.

Having declared a personal and prejudicial interest in the application, Councillor Robin Williams withdrew from the discussion and voting thereon.

The Planning Enforcement Manager reported that it is the Officer’s view that the proposed development aligns with the aims and objectives of the JLDP’s policies; the scale of the proposed extension is modest and there is sufficient land to accommodate the proposed scheme without resulting in the over-development of the site. The proposed design and materials are also acceptable and are of high quality. It is not considered that the proposed extension would unacceptably impact any neighbouring properties. There have been no objections to the proposal and the Town Council is supportive of it; the recommendation is therefore to approve the application.

Councillor Trefor Lloyd Hughes, MBE proposed, seconded by Councillor Eric Jones, 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 conditions contained therein.

11.2 FPL/2021/227 – Full application for a covered manure store and roof over existing yard at Plas Newydd, Llanddeusant

The application was reported to the Planning and Orders Committee as the applicant is related to a “relevant officer” as defined within paragraph 4.6.10.2 of 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 Built and Natural Environment Manager reported that the proposal as described will improve the existing manure management system at the farm and allow the applicant to conform with the requirements of the Water Resources (Control of Agricultural Pollution) (Wales) Regulations 2021. The proposal is located on the eastern fringes of the village with a distance of 150m between the nearest property and the closest point of the extension to the existing building. It is not considered that the development will have a detrimental impact on the character and appearance of the area nor on the amenities of nearby residential occupiers; nor is it considered that the proposal will give rise to an unacceptable visual effect on the local landscape as the proposal involves the erection of a bund and landscaping to the rear of the shed. There are no objections locally to the proposed development; neither has Natural Resources Wales raised any objections provided the proposal does not entail an increase in stock levels. The Officer clarified that whilst the intention originally had been to increase stock numbers over the course of time, the applicant has now confirmed that there had been no firm intention to do so. This being so the proposal is acceptable as regards design and compliance with the criteria contained within the relevant policies. The recommendation is to approve the application.

Councillor Kenneth Hughes proposed, seconded by Councillor Eric Jones 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 conditions contained therein.
