Outline application for the erection of nine houses to include three
affordable homes along with provision of access and estate road.
(a) The
Senior Development Control Officer elaborated on the background of the
application and noted that it was an outline application for the erection of
nine dwellings, with three of them affordable on a part of a site within the
village of Chwilog which had been designated for 21
houses in the GUDP. The application related to half the site located nearest to
the existing houses of Tŷ'n Rhos
estate and also included an access road. It was noted that the application had
been submitted under C16/1363/41/AM for the erection of nine additional houses
(three of them affordable) for the remainder of the site, which was to be
considered at this meeting.
It was noted that the proposal for the site in its
entirety (this application and application C16/1363/41/AM) comprised
18 houses and, therefore, on the whole, it was considered
that the number of units was acceptable for the site and
that suitable use (based on
density) would be made of the land. The application offered 33.3% of affordable housing, namely the closest figure to the target that could
be achieved with these numbers.
It was reported that observations had been received from
the Land Drainage Unit on the morning of the committee meeting referring to surface water problems on a section of the field. They were
of the opinion that work associated with developing the land would assist
the existing situation.
It was considered that a financial contribution (to be agreed) to improve facilities in the existing park by means
of a 106 Agreement, considering
that the development permitted on the Bryn Hyfryd site (C14/0113/41/AM) would provide a space within the site, would be acceptable to ensure that a provision
of open spaces of recreational value in the local area
met the needs of the development.
It was explained that a financial contribution of £9,359 would be expected from both
applications submitted, in order to ensure
that Chwilog Primary School could cope
with any increase in pupil
numbers, as a result of the residential units noted for
the sites in Chwilog in the GUDP.
Should the application be approved, it was noted that it
was recommended to impose an additional condition,
that no vehicular
access could be created from the site to the track leading to the cemetery.
It was considered that both applications together were acceptable in
terms of assessing them against the requirements of the Development Brief for
the site and against the requirements of other relevant local and national
policies noted in the report.
