Erection of new dwelling

LOCAL MEMBER: Councillor Gwilym Evans

Link to relevant background documents

DECISION: To refuse the application

Reasons:

1.     The modern design of the proposed dwelling, with its large balcony and glass doors/windows on the front and rear elevations, does not respect the character of the neighbouring houses nor that within the vicinity and these features would be incongruous. ⁠The proposal would not complement nor enhance the character and appearance of the site or area. The proposal has not given full consideration to its historical and built context and that in terms of its siting, appearance, scale, height, massing and elevational treatment contains incoherent, dominant and alien features that do not respect the streetscape or site context. The proposal is therefore, considered contrary to criteria 1, 2 and 3 of Policy PCYFF 3: ⁠Design and Place Shaping of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan (2011-2026).

2.     Due to the location, size and height of the balcony and the front of the proposed dwelling which faces the next door property, it is considered that the proposal would overlook and have a dominant and overbearing impact and would be detrimental to the amenities of nearby residents in terms of noise and nuisance. For this reason, it is considered that the proposal is contrary to the requirements of policy PCYFF 2 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan (2011-2026) relating to protecting the amenities of residents and the local area.
