Proposed development of a battery energy storage system, associated infrastructure, access and landscaping

LOCAL MEMBERS: Councillor Sasha Williams and Councillor Gwion Emyr

Link to relevant background documents

DECISION: To Refuse

Reason:

1.       This development would be detrimental to the landscape as it would introduce an industrial element to an open grassland site in a prominent location that would be visible within notable views of Eryri National Park. The application is therefore contrary to policies ISA 1, ADN 3, PCYFF 1, PCYFF 2 and PCYFF 4 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan as they relate to ensuring that developments are appropriate to their location.

Section 73 application to vary condition 7 on planning approval C24/0011/30/AM to agree a new layout as shown on drawing ref. no. 3196:24:8; amend conditions 5 and 10 on planning approval C24/0011/30/AM to agree landscaping and appearance details in accordance with drawings ref. no. 3196:24:8 and 3196:24:7.
