Construction of a new building for use as agricultural storage with associated landscaping works (re submission)

LOCAL MEMBER: Councillor Gareth Williams

Link to relevant background documents

DECISION: TO REFUSE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION.

REASONS:

1.    Based on the information submitted, the Local Planning Authority is not entirely convinced that there is a real need, proven beyond doubt, to erect an agricultural building of the size and scale proposed at this location. Therefore, the application is contrary to the requirements of policies PCYFF 1 and PCYFF 2 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan 2017 which encourages the refusal of proposals outside development boundaries unless there is justification to show that its location in the countryside is essential, and that do not comply with other policies within the Plan itself.

2.    The scale of the proposal would mean erecting a substantial building which would be located in a prominent, isolated position near a public road and footpath and within a Special Landscape Area. This development would not respect the context of the site and its place in the local landscape and, as a result, the development would be harmful to the area's visual amenities. The application is therefore contrary to the criteria of policies PCYFF 2, PCYFF 3 and AMG 2 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan, 2017 together with the advice contained within Technical Advice Note 6: Planning for Sustainable Rural Communities and Technical Advice Note 12: Design that relates to protecting local visual amenities and the environment.

Outline application with some matters reserved to demolish an existing residential dwelling and former commercial garage with associated buildings and construction of 5 two storey local market housing, install 16 self-serviced holiday accommodation, construction of a pub/restaurant, landscaping, creation of parking areas and modification works to an existing vehicular access.
