Decision details

DECISION: To refuse:-

·         The site lies in open countryside and the proposal is not an application for a rural enterprise dwelling and therefore it is considered that the proposal is contrary to Strategic Policy PS 17 and Policy PCYFF 1 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan, together with Planning Policy Wales and Technical Advice Note 6: planning for sustainable rural communities.

·         The applicants have not been assessed as applicants in need of an affordable home, the size of the property is substantially larger than an affordable home as defined in the Supplementary Planning Guidance: Affordable Housing; and as there is no open market valuation of the property, it cannot be certain that the property would have an affordable price or continue to be affordable in future.  Therefore, it is not considered that the proposal in question would provide an affordable home on the site and that the proposal is therefore contrary to the requirements of policy TAI 16 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan that only allows proposals for schemes that are 100% affordable homes. It is also contrary to the contents of the Supplementary Planning Guidance: Affordable Housing
