    Decision:

     

    DECISION: To approve contrary to the recommendation

     

    1.    The development referred to in this permission must be commenced no later than FIVE years of the date of the permission.

    2.    The development hereby permitted shall be carried out in strict conformity with the details shown on the plan(s) numbered 80 1 - 22 - 0 5; 801 - 22 - 70; 22/115/P 09; 22/115/P 04 a 22/115/P 03 Amendment A submitted to the Local Planning Authority, and contained in the application form and in any other documents accompanying the application, unless condition(s) to revise them is/are included on this planning decision.

    3.    Before the facility hereby approved becomes operational as a storage/sales yard, the applicant must first submit details to be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority of any building and/or structure they propose to erect as part of the proposed facility, including their design and height.

    4.    The facility hereby approved must be connected with the use the applicant proposed to make of the commercial premises on the High Street as a business centre for an agricultural goods/materials supplier and which is outlined in blue in plan number 22/115/P 03 Amendment A.

    5.    The scheme for planting a mixed thorn hedgerow contained in plan number 22/115/P 03 Amendment A must be completed during the first planting season after the use becomes operational. In the event that any part of the hedge dies, is removed or becomes seriously damaged or diseased within the five-year period from the date it was planted, they must be removed and replaced during the next planting season with others of a similar size and species, unless the Local Planning Authority approves a commitment in writing.

    6.    Before the facility becomes operational, the applicant must first submit details to be agreed in writing with the Local Planning Authority of any signs to be erected on the site, and those signs shall be in Welsh only, or bilingual with priority to the Welsh language.

    7.    The applicant must comply with Part 6.0 (Summary and Conclusions) of the Floods Consequence Assessment (ref. KRS.0639.001.R001.A) dated September, 2022 by KRS Environmental.

    8.    The improvements to the existing access must be carried out in strict conformity with the details contained in plan number 22/115/P 03 Amendment A.

    9.    The delivery or distribution of goods to and from the site hereby approved shall not be permitted outside the hours of 08:00 to 18:00 Monday to Friday; 08:00 to 12:00 Saturday and not at all on Sunday.

     

    The reasons for the Council's decision to permit the development subject to the conditions already noted:

    3.    To secure the orderly development of the site and to protect visual amenities.

    4.    To secure the orderly development of the site.

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

    LOCAL MEMBER: Councillor Gareth Williams

    • Plans , item 8.2 pdf icon PDF 1016 KB

    Decision:

    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.
