DECISION: TO REFUSE IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATION.
REASONS:
1. Based on the information
submitted, the Local Planning Authority is not entirely convinced that there is
a real need, proven beyond doubt, to erect an agricultural building of the size
and scale proposed at this location. Therefore, the application is contrary to
the requirements of policies PCYFF 1 and PCYFF 2 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd
Joint Local Development Plan 2017 which encourages the refusal of proposals
outside development boundaries unless there is justification to show that its
location in the countryside is essential, and that do not comply with other
policies within the Plan itself.
2. The scale of the proposal would mean erecting a
substantial building which would be located in a prominent, isolated position
near a public road and footpath and within a Special Landscape Area. This
development would not respect the context of the site and its place in the
local landscape and, as a result, the development would be harmful to the
area's visual amenities. The application is therefore contrary to the criteria of
policies PCYFF 2, PCYFF 3 and AMG 2 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local
Development Plan, 2017 together with the advice contained within Technical
Advice Note 6: Planning for Sustainable Rural Communities and Technical Advice
Note 12: Design that relates to protecting local visual amenities and the
environment.
