DECISION: To delegate powers to the Head of the Environment Department to refuse the application:

1. It is not considered that the design of the proposal, in terms of layout, scale and appearance adds to enhancing the character and appearance of the site context neither does if fully integrate within the context of the immediate streetscene and its prominent location in this part of Cricieth. Therefore, the proposal is contrary to the relevant requirements of policies PCYFF 2 and PCYFF 3  of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan, 2017 together with part 2.6 of Technical Advice Note 12: Design, which states that design which is inappropriate in its context, or that does not take advantage of opportunities to enhance the character, quality and function of an area, should not be accepted, as these have detrimental effects on existing communities.

2. Due to the scale, mass and location and certain elements to be included in the proposed development, it would lead to an unacceptable impairment and overbearing effect on adjoining properties and their curtilage. It is therefore considered that the proposal would have a significant adverse impact on the amenities of residents of local properties contrary to criteria 7 of policy PCYFF2 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan, 2017.
