Residential
development including 6 two-storey houses and one single-storey affordable
house, associated works and creation of additional parking spaces (amended
plans)
Attention was drawn to the late observations form.
a)
The Development Control Officer highlighted that this was a full
application to erect six two-storey
houses and one single-storey affordable house along with associated
works on the western periphery of Stad Bro Infryn in Glasinfryn on a plot of
green land. The application was split into several different elements, which
included:
·
Provision of affordable units on the form of: One two-storey 2
bedroom house (3 persons), four two-storey 2 bedroom houses (4 persons), two
two-storey 3 bedroom houses (5 persons) and a single-storey 2 bedroom house (3
persons).
·
The 2 bedroom houses would be for intermediate rent and the
remainder of the houses for social rent.
·
Provision of infrastructure to include parking spaces, footpaths,
turning space, redirecting BT cable and redirecting the public sewer.
·
Erection of various fences around the site boundary and between
the houses.
·
Site bin stores in the gardens of the houses.
·
Landscaping work.
It was explained that discussions had been held between the applicant,
the previous local councillor, Cllr. Menna Baines, as well as several estate
residents. As a result, the application
was amended to provide additional parking spaces in the form of laybys on the
northern and southern sides of the lawned area which is located at the centre
of the estate.
It was
considered that the principle of the proposal was acceptable based on the indicative
housing supply, housing mix and the need to meet and address the need for these
types of houses in the local area. It
was noted that planning considerations such as visual residential amenities,
road safety, biodiversity and language matters were acceptable. The proposal
was not considered to be contrary to local or national policies and there was
no material planning matter that outweighed the policy considerations. To this end, it was considered that this proposal
was acceptable subject to the inclusion of the conditions.
b) Taking advantage of the right to speak, the applicant noted the
following observations:
·
The application was submitted by Adra
(Local Housing Association) to construct six two-storey houses and one bungalow
- all the units were affordable houses and included a mix of intermediate
rented housing and social rented housing.
·
Pre-application discussions had been
held with the planning department to discuss the principle of the proposal and
to receive feedback on material planning matters.
·
Following the submission of the
application and during the application's determination period, there were
additional discussions with the local councillor and some of the local
residents to discuss some of their concerns having seen the application details.
·
One of the concerns raised was parking
and the pressure in the area for parking spaces. As a result of these discussions, amendments
were introduced to the plans to provide additional parking spaces on the
boundary of the nearby green space, as agreed with the Local Member and the
residents.
