Minutes:
Varying condition 2 of
planning permission number C17/0438/18/LL for a residential development in
order to extend the period of three years to enable the submission of a
reserved matters application
Attention was drawn to the late observations form that
noted that the application area had now had a statutory designation by UNESCO
as the Slate Landscape of North West Wales World Heritage Site. Despite the
designation it was not considered that the proposal, if approved, would
undermine the designation by considering the observations of CADW.
a) The Senior Development Control Officer highlighted that this was a full
application to vary condition 2 of outline planning permission number C17/0483/18/LL
to extend the time permitted to submit a reserved matters application. As
previously, it was explained that the details related to scale, appearance,
landscaping and access to the site had been reserved for future consideration
through the submission of an application for reserved matters. It was noted
that the proposal continued to entail developing the site for 27 houses
(including five affordable dwellings for general local need), the creation of a
new access and provision of an amenity space. It was added that the original
application (C09A/0396/18/AM) was subject to a legal agreement under Section
106 in order to provide an element of affordable housing and the legal
agreement that was originally signed by the applicant remained valid.
It
was reported that the principle of developing the site for residential
development had already been accepted be that in 2014 and 2017, however, there
was a need to consider if planning circumstances or the situation had changed
since the previous applications were approved. In light of local policies, the
Local Planning Authority determined the outline application based on the
policies of the Gwynedd Unitary Development Plan and the application for a
three-year extension was determined partly based on the Gwynedd Unitary
Development Plan and partly on the Anglesey and Gwynedd Local Development Plan
- Composite Version. By now, the LDP was the adopted local planning policy
document and reference was made in the report to the relevant policies.
It
was noted that the indicative supply level for Deiniolen
over the Plan's period was 45 units and the indicative supply was expected to
be met through the T65 housing designated site and through windfall sites - as
a result it was possible to support the proposal under Policy TAI3. Five
affordable houses would be included in the proposal that equated to 18% of the development. To this end, the
proposal continued to meet the affordable housing threshold identified within
Policy TAI15.
The
proposal provided a broad variety of housing to address the need for such
housing in Deiniolen in line with the Gwynedd Housing
Needs Assessment, and the assessment for Deiniolen
village which indicated the need for two and three-bedroom affordable housing
and two, three and four bedroom open market housing.
Having considered all the relevant matters including
the objections, it was not considered that the proposal of extending the time
given under permission number C17/0438/18/LL in order to submit reserved
matters was contrary to the policies or the relevant local and national
guidance.
b)
Taking advantage of the right to speak, the Local Member made the
following points:
·
A number of other
houses had been constructed during the period - there was concern regarding the
capacity of the primary school
·
It was suggested that
the Council should purchase a parcel of land near the school and the proposed
site for a future school extension
c) It was proposed and seconded to approve the application
