Decision status: Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
DECISION: TO REFUSE
Reasons
1. Sufficient
evidence has not been submitted regarding the need for the development or its
use of fossil fuel that would undermine Gwynedd Council's climate emergency
statement. To this end, it is considered
that the proposal is contrary to the general aims of the Anglesey and Gwynedd
Joint Local Development Plan 2017, together with policies PS7 and ADN3
specifically that promote the provision of renewable or low carbon energy,
policies PS5, PS6 and PCYFF 5 in terms of alleviating the impact of climate
change and carbon management, and Planning Policy Wales, Edition 11, 2021,
paragraphs 5.7.2, 5.7.6 and 5.7.11.
2. No
specific justification has been submitted as part of the application for the
proposal on this site and therefore it cannot be confirmed that the loss of
employment land is acceptable and the proposal is therefore contrary to the
requirements of policies PS5, PS13, CYF 1, CYF 3 and CYF 5 of the Anglesey and
Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan 2017 that controls developments on land
designated for employment use.
3. The
proposal falls within the classification of a development that is highly
vulnerable to damage, and insufficient evidence has been submitted to ensure
that the proposal complies with the Council's strategy, therefore the proposal
is unacceptable in terms of flooding and does not comply with the requirements
of policy PS 6 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan 2017
together with criterion (i) of paragraph 6.2 of Technical Advice Note 15
Development and Flood Risk.
