DECISION: To
refuse the application
Reasons:
1. The modern design of the proposed dwelling, with its
large balcony and glass doors/windows on the front and rear elevations, does
not respect the character of the neighbouring houses nor that within the
vicinity and these features would be incongruous. The proposal would not complement nor enhance the
character and appearance of the site or area. The proposal has not given full consideration to its historical and built context
and that in terms of its siting, appearance, scale, height, massing and
elevational treatment contains incoherent, dominant and alien features that do
not respect the streetscape or site context. The proposal is therefore,
considered contrary to criteria 1, 2 and 3 of Policy PCYFF 3: Design and Place Shaping of the Anglesey and Gwynedd
Joint Local Development Plan (2011-2026).
2. Due to the location, size and height of the balcony
and the front of the proposed dwelling which faces the next
door property, it is considered that the proposal would overlook and
have a dominant and overbearing impact and would be detrimental to the
amenities of nearby residents in terms of noise and nuisance. For this reason,
it is considered that the proposal is contrary to the requirements of policy
PCYFF 2 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan (2011-2026)
relating to protecting the amenities of residents and the local area.
