The
Planning Manager elaborated on the background of the application, noting that
this application was deferred at the Committee meeting
on 20 May 2019 in order to have an
opportunity to consider the context of appeal number (C18/0023/42/LL),
which was refused for reasons relating to an excess of second homes in the
area. It was noted that as a result of the figures
noted in the appeal decision, it was considered necessary to re-assess the
application against the relevant figures.
It was noted that an
application for the 'Demolition of outbuilding attached the house and erect a single-storey
extension in its place', which formed part of the submitted application, had
been approved on 28 June 2019.
It was
reported that an appeal for a lack of decision had been registered with
the Planning Inspectorate. It was explained that
should the application be refused or deferred, the appeal would continue.
Attention was drawn to additional comments received, which included
the observations of the Business Support Unit of the Economy and Community
Department on the robustness of the business plan.
It was noted that Policy
TWR 2 of the Gwynedd and Anglesey Joint Local Development Plan (JLDP) permitted
proposals to convert existing buildings such as agricultural buildings into
holiday accommodation as provided they complied with five criteria. Reference was made to criterion 'v', which required that 'The
development does not lead to an excess of such accommodation in the area.'
It was
revealed that the applicant, in accordance with the requirements of
Policy TWR 2, had submitted a comprehensive business plan that included
investment figures, costs and projected letting figures, and it was considered
that its content was realistic and demonstrated the viability as holiday use.
The Business Support Unit of the Economy and Community Department agreed with
these findings, and were satisfied that it was a suitable business plan for the
application.
It was noted that
over-concentration had been assessed in the context of the Supplementary
Planning Guidance: Holiday Accommodation and the appeal decision on Tŷ’n Pwll, Nefyn It was revealed that the assessment had confirmed
that 14% of the domestic units in the area of Tudweiliog
Community Council were second homes, therefore this was higher than the 10%
threshold used by the Inspector on the appeal in Nefyn. It was
explained that the applicant did not agree with the figures, and noted
that the majority of second homes were not let, and that he disagreed with the
grounds to which the over-concentration was assessed.
It was noted that despite the applicant's arguments and although all the other TWR 2 matters were acceptable, on the basis of the current above figures and in light of the Inspector's decision and assessment on the Ty'n Pwll, Nefyn appeal, a recommendation to refuse the application had to be made on the grounds of an over-provision of such accommodation and contrary to ... view the full minutes text for item 5
