Minutes:
The
construction of 4no. new industrial units and associated external landscaping
on Plot C3 at Parc Bryn Cegin, Llandygai,
Bangor.
a)
Attention was drawn to the late observations
which contained further observations from the Biodiversity Unit - it was
considered that it was appropriate to impose a condition to ensure appropriate
landscaping and mitigation measures.
The Development
Control Team Leader highlighted that this was a
full application to construct four buildings and associated works on one of the
empty plots within Bryn Cegin Business Park, Llandygai. It was explained that one of the buildings would
remain as a single unit, with two divided into two smaller units and the fourth
divided into four units.
It was noted that the site was situated on the
Bryn Cegin Strategic Regional Business Site
approximately 1km south of the development boundary of the Bangor Regional
Centre and the intended use complied with the requirements of policy CYF 1, as
there was appropriate justification to approve such a development on a site
earmarked for this type of use. This was not an unexpected development and the
process of earmarking the site had established the principle. It was elaborated
that there was no objection to the proposal based on sustainability,
infrastructure, transport, heritage, biodiversity or linguistic matters.
It was reported that the site was also within
the Buffer Zones of the Llandygai Henge Monuments and
Cursus and Penrhyn Quarry Railway Scheduled Monuments, and vehicular access
already existed on the site. Although it appeared large, it was highlighted
that the buildings would be of a size, design and materials that would be
expected for contemporary industrial buildings. It was elaborated that there
was an intention for landscaping which would reinforce the existing screening
which would, together with the current natural screening, conceal the site from
most public viewpoints. Given its site on an industrial estate, which had
already received planning permission, it was not considered that the site would
cause significant harm to the site's general appearance, or affect the area's
visual amenities in general, as well as the landscaping designations.
Reference was made to a Noise Assessment
submitted, confirming that Cyngor Gwynedd's Public Protection Service had
provided a response and offered conditions to ensure that sufficient noise
mitigation measures had been provided, as well as specific working/opening
hours based on the information submitted as part of the application.
Having considered
that the proposal was acceptable and complied with the requirements of relevant
local and national policies, the officers considered that the proposal was
acceptable and recommended approving the application with conditions.

The Local Member had no observations to offer on
