MINUTES The Chairman signed the minutes of the previous meeting of this committee held on 29 July 2013, as a true record. 3. PLANNING APPLICATIONS The Committee considered the following applications for development. Details of the applications were expanded upon and questions were answered in relation to the plans and aspects of the policies. RESOLVED 1. Application No. C12/1347/25/LL – Land near Ffordd Penrhos, Penrhosgarnedd, Bangor. To construct 245 living units comprising detached and semi-detached houses, flats (including 86 affordable units), parking spaces and gardens, associated works, erection of pumping station and demolition of single- storey outbuilding. (a) The Senior Planning Service Manager elaborated on the background of the application and noted that this Committee had deferred the application at a meeting on 29 July, when members had visited the site. At the time, members had called for additional information to address the concerns highlighted regarding traffic flow; technical information regarding the land drainage system in accordance with the concerns of the Local Member; a linguistic impact assessment specifically for the Pentir Ward, along with information regarding safe areas for children to play, considering that the development was equal in size to a small village. (b) It was confirmed that the Planning Service had made a request for further information from the developer as well as clarity from the Council’s Transportation Unit regarding the matters involving the local roads network. The above matters were elaborated upon individually in the written report and it was noted that a financial contribution of £30,000 was now being offered voluntarily by the applicant towards the provision of play facilities off the site. An agreement had been previously made for the developer to contribute £1,115,387 to ensure improvements for local schools to satisfy educational needs. In terms of traffic and to ensure that the development was acceptable, it was proposed to include improvements to the roundabout near Ysbyty Gwynedd, improvements to the roundabout near Ysgol y Faenol, along with a financial contribution of £140,000 towards the costs of providing a cycle track. 2 Planning Committee 02.09.13 In terms of principle, it was noted that the land had been designated in the Gwynedd Unitary Development Plan for the construction of housing and the site was within the development boundary. It was noted that transport was the most contentious matter and a full response was received from the Transportation Unit. In terms of flooding/surface water drainage matters, reference was made to the intention of the developer to create a sustainable urban drainage network within the site that would enable surface water to be managed in an acceptable form. Welsh Water or NRW had no objection to this. (c) The local member, (who was not a member of this Planning Committee), referred to a letter he had received from one of the local residents referring to a high percentage of Welsh speakers in the vicinity of Ffordd Cynan and Ffordd Crwys which abutted the site.
