The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is made by the County Council.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for re-roofing works along with works to the chimney breasting and rainwater goods. As the subject building is Grade II* Listed and is situated within a designated Conservation Area, the Heritage Advisor has been consulted and confirms that there are no issues with the details of the scheme and that it is acceptable. The Officer said that the scheme seeks to improve the long-term sustainability of the properties by improving roof health/safety and increasing efficiency by installing insulation. It is considered that the works will improve the character of the building while remaining in keeping with the character of the terrace and the wider setting of Beaumaris and its heritage assets. The Officer further highlighted that as the period for the receipt of representations does not expire until 14th March, any consent will be conditional upon no new issues being raised before the expiry of the consultation period.

Councillor Vaughan Hughes proposed that the application be approved; the proposal was seconded by Councillor Shaun Redmond.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions contained within the written report and subject also to no representations being received before the expiry of the consultation period raising issues not already addressed within the Officer’s report.

12.2    19LPA89Q/CC – Full application for the erection of a fence and gate on land at Holyhead Secondary School, South Stack Road, Holyhead

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as the land is owned by the County Council.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the proposed fence will vary from a 4 meter high fence between the school and properties on New Park Road – this is to stop footballs going over the existing wall into the gardens of New Park Road, and a 2.4 metre high fence between the school and South Stack Road – this is to stop footballs going over onto the road and hitting pedestrians and cars. The proposed fence will match existing fencing at Holyhead Secondary School. It is the Officer’s view that the fence complies with all relevant policies and that it will not have a negative impact upon the immediate area, heritage assets or neighbouring properties. The recommendation is to approve the application.

Councillor Robin Williams proposed that the application be approved; the proposal was seconded by Councillor Trefor Lloyd Hughes.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions contained within the written report.

12.3    34LPA791D/VAR/CC – Application under Section 73 for the variation of condition(s) (02) (the car parking accommodation shall be completed in full accordance with the details as submitted before the use hereby permitted is commenced and thereafter retained solely for those purposes) and (04) (the development permitted by this consent shall be carried out strictly in accordance with the plan(s) submitted on the 18/12/2014, under planning reference 34LPA791C/CC/ECON) of planning permission reference 34LPA791C/CC/ECON (alterations and extension, creation of a bike storage area and creation of a car park) so as to amend the approved scheme at Anglesey Business Centre, Llangefni

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is made by the County Council on Council owned land.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for modest changes to an approved scheme which allowed for the extension of the Business Centre along with additional car parking. The proposed amendments include changes to the design and materials of the extension as well as a reduction in the overall floor area. The proposed car parking scheme will also be amended resulting in a reduction of 1 in the overall number of spaces; a reduction of 13 spaces in the northern car park extension and an additional 13 spaces by way of extension to the car park to the southeast. It is not considered that the changes will alter the overall character and nature of the proposed works. The Highways Authority has now confirmed that it is satisfied with the scheme and Welsh Water has proposed a condition that is already incorporated within the recommendation of approval.

Councillor Robin William proposed that the application be approved; the proposal was seconded by Councillor Dafydd Roberts.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions contained within the written report.

12.4    34LPA1015C/MIN/CC – Minor amendments to the scheme previously approved under planning permission 34LPA1015B/CC so as to amend elevations, roof, car park layout, materials and landscaping at former Môn Training Site, Llangefni

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is made by the County Council.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application involves minor changes to an approved scheme that seeks to amend the finish and appearance of the building/site. It is not considered that the amendments constitute a material change nor that they will have an effect on the change of the area to such a degree as to warrant refusal. It is considered that the amendments will improve the site function and appearance as the site will consequently match the finish of the neighbouring businesses. The recommendation is therefore to approve the application.

Councillor Eric Jones proposed that the application be approved; the proposal was seconded by Councillor Robin Williams.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation and written report.

12.5    39LPA589R/CC - Full application for an extension containing a platform lift at Ysgol David Hughes, Pentraeth Road, Menai Bridge

The application was presented to the Planning and Orders Committee as it is made by the County Council.

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is for the

erection of an extension which includes a platform lift. The scheme as originally submitted has been amended in response to safety concerns with the lift door now turned to face the yard but the lift itself remaining in its proposed position. The extension will not affect the amenities of the neighbouring properties and will improve the function of the school. The design will be reflective of the existing school buildings and will not harm the character of the area. The Officer’s recommendation is one of approval subject to no representations being received before the expiry of the consultation period on 9th March, 2018 that raise new issues not addressed by the Officer’s report.

Councillor Kenneth Hughes proposed that the application be approved; the proposal was seconded by Councillor Shaun Redmond.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions contained within the written report and subject also to no representations being received before the expiry of the consultation period raising issues not already addressed within the Officer’s report.

12.6    42C268 – Full application for the change of use of land to form extensions to curtilages of all three properties on land at the rear of Arfryn, Mwyn Awel and Groeslon, Rhoscefnhir

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

The Planning Development Manager reported that the application is to extend the curtilage of all three properties which are situated on the approach to Rhoscefnhir beside the A5025 in order to include the Council owned land as garden space. As Groeslon is a Grade II Listed property the Heritage Advisor has been consulted and confirms that there are no objections to the proposal from a heritage perspective. Should planning consent be granted a further statutory process will have to be followed to apply for a Stopping Up Order. The Officer updated the Committee by saying that the Community Council has also now confirmed that it has no objections to the proposal and the Landscape Advisor has offered comments; consequently, it is recommended that an additional condition is attached to the planning consent to require that details of boundary treatments be submitted in order to ensure that implementation of the scheme will not result in any impacts on the landscape. It is the Officer’s view that the scheme is acceptable as it is deemed its implementation will not have any adverse effects on the area or its residents. The main issues in relation to the development – none of which warrant a refusal – have been sufficiently addressed. The recommendation is to approve the application.

Councillor Shaun Redmond proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation; the proposal was seconded by Councillor Vaughan Hughes.

It was resolved to approve the application in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation subject to the conditions contained within the written report and an additional condition in relation to boundary treatments.
