Issue - meetings

To note any items that are a matter of urgency in the view of the Chairman for consideration.

·      Resolved that the Llŷn AONB Officer summarize the the Joint Committee’s comments and present them in the consultation that’s open on the Cwyd Alun development at the Penrhos Site. The Llŷn AONB Officer would also share a link to the consultation with the Joint Committee so that Members could comment individually.

·     Resolved to hold a Special Meeting to discuss the possible development of Solar Panels on Coed y Wern land when relevant as the site could be visible from the AONB. It was explained that it was premature at present as no planning application had been provided yet but rather a pre-planning application. A planning application is likely to be submitted in due course.

·      Resolved to send an invitation to members of the Joint Committee to attend the Tourism Conference, Gwynedd and Eryri Sustainable Visitor Economy Event 2035 which will be held on 30 November.

It was reported that John Gosling (Abersoch and Llŷn Toursim Partnership) had stepped down, and he was thanked for his service on this Joint Committee.

It was noted that it was important for the Joint Committee to submit its observations on the Clwyd Alun development at Penrhos. Some members were concerned about the scale of the development and the number of houses proposed. It was hoped that the provision would be sufficient to meet the nursing needs and the lack of older people's homes within the County. The AONB Service Officer would share a link to the consultation with the Joint Committee to allow the members to submit their observations.

It was also decided that the Llŷn AONB Officer should summarise the Joint Committee's observations and submit them to the consultation.

The proposal to install Solar Panels on Coed y Wern land was discussed. It was noted that there were not currently many details available; no planning application had been submitted, only a pre-application. It was likely that a planning application would be submitted in due course. It was added that this site was not in the AONB, although it was visible from the AONB. It was reported that the Joint Committee had requested to provide input on such matters. 

It was decided to hold a Special Meeting to discuss the potential development. Solar Panels on Coed y Wern land when relevant (currently premature).

It was noted that a Tourism Conference would be held on 30 November 2021, entitled 'Tourism Conference, Gwynedd and Eryri Sustainable Visitor Economy 2035 Event'. The AONB Service Officer was asked to provide details to the Joint Committee members that wished to participate.  

It was decided that an invitation should be sent to Joint Committee members to attend the Conference.
