Front extension, create first floor balcony, alterations to roof and extend outbuilding to create annexe

Front extension,

to create an annexe
It was highlighted
that the application was submitted to the Committee at the request of the Local
Member and two other members.
(a) The Planning Manager elaborated on the
background of the application, and noted that this was an application to erect
a porch on the front of the house; install a first floor balcony along the
front of the house above existing flat roof sections; to undertake alterations
to the roof by installing a slate roof and a small dormer door to the front;
front decking; and extend the existing outbuilding within the property's
curtilage to create an annexe at Bwthyn Bridyn, Lôn Bridyn, Morfa Nefyn. It was noted that the property was adjacent
to the access to Morfa Nefyn beach, but at a slightly higher level than the
beach, with a high boundary wall surrounding the front and sides.
It was reported
that the application comprised two elements, namely the extension and the
alterations to the house and the extension to the outbuilding to create an
annexe. It was reported that the house
currently had an asbestos sheeting roof and it was proposed to re-roof with
slate, which was an improvement, together with a small dormer door that would
not cause substantial harm to the appearance and character of the front.
Several objections
had been received to the proposal expressing concern about introducing modern
features to the property as the existing fishermen's cottages were
unspoiled. Bearing in mind that only a
light glazed screen would be in the front of the balcony and that the
building's shape would not significantly change, it was considered that the
changes would not significantly harm the appearance of the property to justify
refusing the alterations. Since the alterations
to the house were relatively minor, it was considered that they were acceptable
additions in terms of appearance, scale and the treatment of elevations and
complied with the requirements of policy PCYFF 3 of the Local Development Plan.
It was noted that
the second element involved erecting an extension on the existing outbuilding
that formed part of the ownership of the property. As the curtilage was enclosed by a high
boundary wall, only a small section of the wall and the roof would be visible
from the access road to the beach. It
was highlighted that the objections had expressed concern about changing the
appearance of a historic building, however, the alterations were not considered
to be significantly intrusive and were not unacceptable in terms of scale,
height and mass on this site that was enclosed by a high wall. It was considered that the annexe was in
compliance with the requirements of PCYFF3.
Reference was made
to flooding issues that had been included in the report together with a comment
that the plans had changed significantly since the Maritime and Country Parks
Officer had submitted his objections.
