    Minutes:

    Single-storey extension

     

    a)  The Development Manager highlighted that this was an application to erect a single-storey in front of a single-storey house. It was reported that the development would include extending an existing garage, which formed an integrated part of the house, 1.5m in front of it. This new element would have a pitch roof measuring 3.8m high (1.2m lower than the ridge of the roof itself), with a garage door in front.

     

    It was noted that the property was one property in a row of detached houses nearby the B4413 class 2 road in a residential area within the boundary of the Coastal - Rural Village of Aberdaron as defined by the Anglesey and Gwynedd Local Development Plan; The property was also within the designated Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and the Llŷn and Bardsey Island Landscape of Outstanding Historical Interest.

     

    The application was submitted before the Committee at the request of the former local member, Councillor W. Gareth Roberts, who objected on the grounds of the visual impact of the development on the streetscape and due to concerns regarding the amenity impact on neighbours.

     

    Reference was made to Policy PCYFF 3 of the LDP that states that it was expected for every proposal to show a high-quality design, which gave full consideration to the context of the surrounding built environment. In this case, when considering the scale, design and materials of the extension, it was considered that the change to the appearance of the site would be very small compared with the existing house, and that no harm to the built quality of the property would derive from the development. It was noted that conditions could be imposed, to ensure that the materials used are in keeping with the rest of the house.

     

    In addition, it was reported, despite the considerable increase in the bulk of the building, as well as an extension to the "building line" slightly to the front, there was no definitive building pattern to developments in the area, and because the change was small, the proposal would respect the built context of the site and be in-keeping with the surrounding area. As a result, it was considered that the plan submitted, due to its scale, materials and design, was appropriately in-keeping with the existing property and therefore complied with the requirements of policy PCYFF 3.

     

    Although the site lies within the AONB, and considering its urban location, the proposal in question would not affect the character of the AONB's landscape.  Similarly, it was not considered that the Landscape of Outstanding Historical Interest would be harmed - the proposal was acceptable under the requirements of Policies AMG 1 and AT 1 of the LDP.

     

         b)    Taking advantage of the right to speak, the Local Member made the following points:

    ·         That he fully agreed with the comments of the former Councillor

    ·         This was not a 'need' to extend, but rather an owner choosing to extend in order to store a boat and tractor in a second home. The alteration was 'desirable' for 'recreational purposes' - there was no 'need' here

    ·         4 bungalows between the chapel and the school - this was the streetscape

    ·         The alteration would be an eye-sore - would stand out and the height of the roof would have an impact on the amenities of neighbours, and would impair natural light

    ·         That the chapel had been converted and its character had been retained

    ·         Plenty of agricultural sheds offered storage for a tractor and/or boat in area

    ·         The proposal reflected an 'industrial' plot, creating an 'industrial unit' for the applicant's purposes, with no regard for others - a garage was located on the site already

    ·         That there was a storage extension on the site - without planning permission

    ·         Approving would set a dangerous precedent and the character of the houses in Aberdaron would be lost forever

     

    b)         It was proposed and seconded to undertake a site visit.

     

               RESOLVED: To defer in order to conduct a site visit
