The proposed house is contrary to criterion
13 of policy PS5, criterion 1 of policy PCYFF 2 and criterion 1 and 10 of

2.
The proposed house is contrary to criterion
13 of policy PS5, criterion 7 of policy PCYFF2 and criterion 10 of policy PCYFF
3 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan 2017 due to the size
and scale and design of the new dwelling specifically its height, bulk, land

amenities and privacy of the residents of the property situated in adjacent to

Application for the erection of a two-storey house with garage
a)
The Development
Control Officer highlighted
that the application site was within the development boundary of the village of Clynnog Fawr on an empty plot of land located parallel
to a standard vehicular access leading to existing residential dwellings to the rear and side of this
proposed development.
It was explained that
a previous application for this proposal
was refused under
C20/1049/34/LL due to its size, scale and
design and its impact on
nearby properties. It was acknowledged
that this proposal was approximately 0.5m lower than the plan refused under the previous application, and the application's agent had provided additional plans that included
the streetscape and a plan
of the existing levels.
The application
was submitted to the Committee
at the Local Member’s request
The application
had been deferred in the Committee on 12.07.2021 in order to correct the site address and
re-consult to ensure that consultees and neighbours were aware of the application site.
In considering the general, visual and residential
amenities, it was noted that the site was located in a fairly
prominent location, adjacent to the main road in and out
of the village and was surrounded by buildings of various sizes, design and elevations.
Officers had not been convinced in this case
that this was the right building size and design
for the site. It was considered that there was a need to consider its location
and land levels better to enable the development to contribute to the area's character and enable
it to integrate more and in an acceptable
way with the pattern and character
of the local area. It was
not considered that the design conveyed this and, as such,
the development could not
be supported in the form it was submitted. It was considered that the proposal was contrary to the requirements of policies PCYFF 2,
3 and 4 and PS5 of the LDP.
It was noted that
the proposal avoided the inclusion of windows (on the northern elevation) in number
and form that would affect
the residents of neighbouring
properties. Nevertheless,
the plan indicated that some of the windows would be opaque, however, it was considered that this would
have a worse impact than what was approved in the past and would give
the feeling of overlooking
(due to their number and height)
from the perspective of the
properties next door.
Also, it was reported that the site was considerably higher than the neighbouring property, and the proposal to erect a full two-storey property on this level of land would create an incompatible feature in the area as well as cause a markedly oppressive effect on the neighbouring property. It was added that the land level would also increase overlooking into the back garden of the neighbouring property - although the garden was currently ... view the full minutes text for item 11
