Application No C19/0556/21/LL Fferm Talybont Uchaf, Tal y Bont, Bangor PDF 122 KB Change of use of agricultural building into a boat engine mechanic workshop (Use Class B1) LOCAL MEMBER:
COUNCILLOR DAFYDD MEURIG Link
to relevant background documents Additional documents: Minutes: Change of use of
agricultural building into a mechanic workshop for repairing boat engines (Use
Class B1) Attention was
drawn to the late observations form that had been received. The members had
visited the site. a)
The Planning Manager elaborated on the background of
the application, and noted that it was an application for converting an
existing agricultural building into a workshop for repairing boat engines. It was noted that this was a retrospective
application as the use of the building had already commenced. It was explained that the proposal involved using the
building mainly to repair and service boat engines, together with storing
maritime equipment for on-line sales mainly. It was noted that the business
employed nine full-time members of staff with the aim of serving up to five
customers a day (who would attend the site via appointment only). There would
be five parking spaces for customers on the site, five spaces allocated for
staff and seven separate spaces for general parking. There would also be an
allocated space for storing up to four boats on the site. The Planning
Statement submitted stated that up to five goods/boats deliveries would be
expected to the site every week during the summer, with fewer in the winter. The site was located near the buildings of the former Tal y Bont Uchaf
farm, which comprised a substantial house, annexe and outbuildings and was a
(Grade II) listed building. Access from the public road was along a private
track with approximately 120m of this being a public footpath. The building was
in a rural area approximately 1.2km to the east of the development boundary of
the village of Llandygai. A decision on this application was deferred at the
Planning Committee on 23/09/19 so as to allow a site visit to be arranged and in
order to undertake further assessment of the impact on the amenities of the
local area from traffic using the site. The Transportation Unit had no objection to the
proposal and had stated that they did not believe that the development would have
a detrimental impact on any road. However, it was noted that considerable
objection had come from the local community, claiming that the increase that
had already occurred with traffic was already harming road safety and local
amenities. (This was the basis for conducting a site visit). In considering the previous use of the building for
agricultural purposes, it was noted that there was nothing to prevent large
vehicles/machinery from coming and going to the site for that purpose. In
addition, when considering the confined nature of the site, it was not believed
that there was sufficient space to extend the business beyond its current
boundaries and therefore the size of the site in itself would limit the amount
of traffic. Having weighed up the application and the revised plans against the requirements of the relevant policies, as well as considering all the observations and objections received during the consultation period, it was considered that the proposal ... view the full minutes text for item 6. |

fully assess the observations. b) It

application and conduct a site visit. |

COUNCILLOR MENNA BAINES Additional documents: Minutes: Change of use of
buildings from Use Class B1 (offices) to Use Class D1 (non-residential
institutions) together with additional car parking, pedestrian links, bus stop
and access road Reference was made
to the additional observations sheet where it was noted that the applicant's

The re-development of the existing Grŵp
Llandrillo-Menai site near Ysgol Friars, Bangor ii)
Interpreting Policy ISA3 and CYF5 of the Local
Development Plan. It was proposed
and seconded to defer the application The Assistant Head
of Environment Department highlighted that the main planning considerations of
the application in question would be the type of use and the location of the
site. He also suggested, should the committee decide to defer, it would be
beneficial to visit the existing site and the application site. RESOLVED to defer the
application and arrange site visits to the existing Grŵp Llandrillo Menai
site in Penrhosgarnedd and the application site on Ffordd Penlan, Parc Menai. |
