Minutes:
Attention was drawn to the late observations form.
a)
The Planning Manager elaborated on the background of the application,
noting that this was a full application to vary condition 2 (compliance with
plans) and condition 13 (completion of estate road in accordance with the
plans) of planning permission C14/0248/03/LL. It was
highlighted that the site was located in the Manod
area of Blaenau Ffestiniog and within the development
boundary as included in the LDP.
The application in question
would change some aspects of the previous application approved, namely to
modify the setting and design of 3 of the open market
houses and part of the estate road.
There was no intention to change the number, type or mix of houses to
what had already been approved and remains
extant.
In the context of the visual
amenities, general and residential amenities, it was highlighted that the application entailed changes to the elevations of the open
market housing only, based on design. It was noted
that the design continued to be contemporary, by modifying some features on the
front elevation. It was
added, that the property on plot 5 had been set somewhat back within the
site and the houses on plots 3 and 4 will change their setting and form. It was
considered that these adaptations were acceptable as they were not
significantly different to what had been previously approved and would not lead
to more impact than had already been approved. It was considered that the proposal would not create
incompatible structures in the local area and the houses would lie comfortably
within the landscape.
As a result, it was considered
that the proposal was acceptable based on the requirements of policy PCYFF 3 of
the LDP and the requirements of TAN 12:
Design, and complied with the requirements of local and national
planning policies.
b)
It was proposed and seconded to approve the application.
c)
In response to a question, it was noted that no observations had been
received from the Community/Town Council
