Minutes:
Construction of new industrial units.
Attention was drawn to the
late observations form that highlighted that a Welsh Language Statement had now
been submitted – this went beyond the statutory requirement.
a) The Planning
Manager highlighted that it was a full application for a new building to
include four business units on one of the vacant plots within Bryn Cegin Business Park, Llandygai
with a view to developing the site for uses within use class B2 (General
Industrial) in accordance with the permission for the estate
as a whole.
Access to the site
would be provided via the existing vehicular entrance which provided access
from the inner road that served the wider Parc Bryn Cegin
site and it was proposed to provide hard-standings for
parking and turning in front of each unit.
It was explained
that the application site was located outside the development boundary of the
Sub-regional Centre of Bangor as defined in the LDP, however, it was part of a
site protected as a Strategic Regional Business Site. It was reiterated that
Policy PCYFF 1 of the LDP encouraged the refusal of developments outside
development boundaries unless they were in accordance with other local or
national planning policies. In this case, when considering its designation as a
Business Site in the LDP, there was appropriate justification to approve such
developments at this location.
It was noted that
in the context of access the development would use a road network designed for
the industrial estate and therefore the existing infrastructure was designed to
cope with similar transport levels to what had been envisaged. The site could
be managed by means of conditions.
The proposal was
not considered to be contrary to any material planning policy within the LDP
and the proposed development was appropriate for the site, it complied with the
relevant policies and was likely to be of strategic importance to the county as
a starting point for business developments on the site. Having taken all
material planning considerations into account it was not considered that the
proposal would be likely to cause unacceptable adverse effects to nearby
residents or the community in general.
b)
It was proposed and seconded to approve the
application stating that it was good to see a development in Parc Bryn Cegin after twenty dormant years.
