Construction of new industrial units.

Attention was drawn to the late observations form that highlighted that a Welsh Language Statement had now been submitted – this went beyond the statutory requirement.

a) The Planning Manager highlighted that it was a full application for a new building to include four business units on one of the vacant plots within Bryn Cegin Business Park, Llandygai with a view to developing the site for uses within use class B2 (General Industrial) in accordance with the permission for the estate as a whole. ⁠

Access to the site would be provided via the existing vehicular entrance which provided access from the inner road that served the wider Parc Bryn Cegin site and it was proposed to provide hard-standings for parking and turning in front of each unit.

It was explained that the application site was located outside the development boundary of the Sub-regional Centre of Bangor as defined in the LDP, however, it was part of a site protected as a Strategic Regional Business Site. It was reiterated that Policy PCYFF 1 of the LDP encouraged the refusal of developments outside development boundaries unless they were in accordance with other local or national planning policies. In this case, when considering its designation as a Business Site in the LDP, there was appropriate justification to approve such developments at this location. ⁠ ⁠

It was noted that in the context of access the development would use a road network designed for the industrial estate and therefore the existing infrastructure was designed to cope with similar transport levels to what had been envisaged. The site could be managed by means of conditions. ⁠

The proposal was not considered to be contrary to any material planning policy within the LDP and the proposed development was appropriate for the site, it complied with the relevant policies and was likely to be of strategic importance to the county as a starting point for business developments on the site. Having taken all material planning considerations into account it was not considered that the proposal would be likely to cause unacceptable adverse effects to nearby residents or the community in general.

b) It was proposed and seconded to approve the application stating that it was good to see a development in Parc Bryn Cegin after twenty dormant years.

RESOLVED To delegate powers to the Assistant Head of Environment Department to approve the application subject to completing discussions regarding archaeology as well as relevant planning conditions relating to:
