Full application
for the demolition of former medical centre and the erection of 12 dwellings
(eight flats and four semi-detached houses) together with access, parking and
associated infrastructure.
(a)
The Planning Manager elaborated on the background
of the application, noting that the houses would be set out in one block of
eight flats in the form of a three-storey/two-storey building, and four pairs
of two-storey semi-detached houses.
It was noted that the site was located within the development boundary of
the town of Tywyn and attention was drawn to the fact
that the application details could be seen in the report and the additional
observations form. In addition, attention was drawn to the responses of the
public consultations and the petition submitted objecting the proposal which
had been addressed as part of the assessment.
It was noted that the principle of
developing the site met the requirements of the relevant policy and the 12
dwellings made a positive contribution towards the windfall provision in Tywyn and also made good use of previously developed land.
It was noted that the units would be affordable to be rented socially.
Although concerns had been raised by
the public that the site would lead to an over-development, it was considered
that the development would be in keeping with the character of the existing
area and that it would not cause excessive harm to the visual features of the
area or broader townscape.
It was noted that the development had

and existing buildings, in addition, the distance of the buildings from the
existing houses near the site ensured that they would not affect the natural
flow of light to those dwellings. In terms of concerns regarding overlooking
into nearby gardens, it was noted that overlooking into gardens in an urban
setting was inevitable. It was not considered that the objection regarding
disturbance and disruption to the amenities of nearby residents from families
and children who could reside at the development was reasonable and it was
believed that the development would contribute to a community of a varied
nature.
In
the context of transportation and access, it was considered that the proposal
was acceptable in terms of road safety and complied with the requirements of
relevant policies.
In
response to the consultation with Welsh Water, observations were received
noting that surface water from the development should not be connected to the
public sewer, and to this end, a condition was proposed to be included on any
planning permission noting that an agreement should be reached on the surface
and foul water disposal method prior to the commencement of any development.
Having considered all material planning matters, all observations received and the responses to the public consultations, it was considered that the proposal made good use of a brownfield site and the planning officers' recommendation was ... view the full minutes text for item 5
