Increase in the number of caravans to a total of 15 touring units, construction of a toilet/ shower block, landscaping, and associated works. 

LOCAL MEMBER: Councillor John Brynmor Hughes

 

Link to relevant background documents

DECISION: To refuse in accordance with the recommendation

 

Reasons:

 

·       It is not considered that the proposed units easily assimilate to the landscape and therefore it is not considered as an unobtrusive location that is well-concealed by the existing features of the landscape, so  the development would be detrimental to the visual quality of the landscape. The proposal would not add to the maintenance, enhancement or restoration of the recognised character of the Llŷn Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There is also concern about creating a new caravan site a considerable distance from the main roads network along a busy rural road where there is a high density of holiday sites and the impact of the associated development work on the features and character of the landscape. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal is contrary to the relevant requirements of Policies TWR 5 and AMG 1 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan and Supplementary Planning Guidance (SPG): Tourist Facilities and Accommodation.

 

·       Insufficient evidence has been presented as part of the planning application to demonstrate that full consideration has been given to the loss of the best and most versatile agricultural land. It is therefore considered to be contrary to the requirements of criteria 6 of Policy PS 6 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan 2011-2026 and the advice provided in paragraphs 3.58 and 3.59 of Planning Policy Wales.
