Decision details

DECISION: To Refuse

1.    A demand has not been proven for erecting a new dwelling in open countryside, therefore the proposal does not comply with the requirements of policies PCYFF 1 and PS17 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan, as well as paragraphs 4.2.37 - 38 of Planning Policy Wales and part 4.3.1 of TAN 6: Planning for Sustainable Rural Communities which ensures that new houses in open countryside may only be permitted in specific and exceptional circumstances.  

2.    This development would have a detrimental effect on the landscape causing urban encroachment onto a greenfield site in open countryside. It is not considered that the proposal would add to or improve the character and appearance of the site and it would not integrate with its surroundings. The application is therefore contrary to Policy PCYFF 3 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan.
