Executive Summary

This Conservation Area Character Statement supports Ynys Môn Local Plan 1996 (Policy 40) and the emerging Unitary Development Plan (Policy EN13) which states that the character and appearance of all designated Conservation areas will be protected from unsympathetic development. Enhancement of their character will be achieved by carrying out improvements and permitting suitably designed new development.

This document will be a material consideration in the determination of planning applications.

Circular 61/96 (paragraph 20) states that the quality of place should be the prime consideration in identifying, protecting and enhancing Conservation areas. This depends on more than individual buildings. It is recognised that the special character of a place may derive from many factors, including: the grouping of buildings, their scale and relationship with outdoor spaces, architectural detailing, and so on.

Planning Policy Wales 2002 (paragraph 6.5.15) states that if any proposed development would conflict with the objective of preserving or enhancing the character or appearance of a Conservation area, or its setting, there will be a strong presumption against the grant of planning permission.

Summarised below are elements that contribute to the character and appearance of the Holyhead Mountain Village Conservation area requiring preservation or enhancement.

History

• Nearby excavations have unearthed Mesolithic Age tools and circular huts dating back 500 years B.C.

• The remains of an Iron Age Hill Fort and Roman Watchtower crown the summit of Holyhead Mountain.

• From 1841 onwards the village saw a dramatic expansion in its population as workers on the Great Breakwater settled on the mountain slopes.

• The present Congregationalist Capel Tabor built in 1904 replaced an earlier 1848 thatched roof chapel.

Setting

• There is an extensive footpath and narrow lanes network.

• The area has a distinctive field pattern of numerous small dry stone walled enclosures.

• There are many fine views deemed worthy of protection (See 11. TOWNSCAPE 'Views').

• The area includes other important designations namely: Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Site of Special Scientific Interest and Special Protection Area (See Appendix I).

• There is an abundance of open spaces which allow a feeling of spaciousness due also to the sparse number of buildings.

• The general absence of mature trees with extensive hedgerow vegetation is characteristic of the area.

Architecture

• Short terraces, detached houses and small holdings are the common building type.

• The traditional cottages are linear and shallow which harmonise naturally with the landscape.

• Buildings are generally of simple design with little architectural adornments.

• Boundaries to properties and enclosures are of local small dry stone walls.

• Attractive stone stiles are to be found along the footpaths.

Boundary Review and Recommendations (See Appendix II)

This is a rural village. It is therefore unfortunate that some of the developments carried out, highlighted under 'Negative elements', would seem better suited to urban areas.

In order to preserve or enhance the special character of the Conservation area, every effort should be made to conserve the existing open spaces. Any future developments should also have regard to traditional materials so as to harmonise with the existing buildings and landscape. Careful consideration should also be given to the size and scale of any new developments so that they are sympathetic to their surroundings.

A development has occurred that now requires the boundary to be re-examined. A large commercial building currently under construction just inside the southern boundary appears to be of an inappropriate size and scale and is highly visible from both within and outside the Conservation area. It is recommended that the boundary be amended to omit this new development.

1. Introduction

Conservation areas were created by the Civic Amenities Act of 1967 when it was decided that listing historic buildings individually was not enough to protect groups of buildings, which although not individually listed contributed to the character of the place as a whole, and their setting. It was also realised that the spaces between buildings, and trees, were also important elements and it was decided to protect whole areas to be called Conservation Areas.

The Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) Act 1990 requires local authorities to designate as Conservation areas “Any area of special architectural or historic interest the character or appearance of which it is desirable to preserve or enhance”.

It is the character of areas, rather than individual buildings that the Act seeks to preserve or enhance. Conservation area designation should be seen as the prime means of recognising, protecting and enhancing the identity of places with special character.

Quality of place should be the prime consideration in identifying Conservation areas although there can be no standard specification for Conservation areas.

Designating a conservation area does not prevent future change to buildings and their surroundings. It does mean, however, that the local planning authority when considering planning applications, including those which are outside a Conservation area but would affect its setting, must pay special regard to whether the proposed changes “preserve or enhance the character or appearance of the Conservation area”.

The designation should enable the character of the area to be retained and controlled, ensuring that any new development is sympathetic to both the special architectural and historic interest of the area, but without affecting its function or prosperity.

If a proposal involves the total or substantial demolition of a structure or a building within the Conservation area then “Conservation Area Consent” from the local authority will be required. Otherwise development in Conservation areas is dealt with through the normal planning application process. Subject to some exceptions trees are protected in Conservation areas and anyone proposing to cut down, top or lop a tree is required to give 6 weeks written notice to the local planning authority.

Under section 69 of the Act there is a duty on local authorities to review their areas from time to time and to consider whether further designation of Conservation areas is called for. It is only by understanding the elements that contribute to the character and appearance of an area can we aspire to “preserve or enhance” it.

Anglesey County Council is producing a character appraisal for each of the island’s Conservation areas. These character appraisal documents will form the basis, along with policies set out in the Ynys Môn Local Plan and emerging Unitary Development Plan, for aiding development control within Conservation areas.

Guidance on general policies that are material considerations in the determination of all planning applications in Conservation areas is included in Policy 40 Ynys Môn Local Plan (and also Policy EN13 of the emerging Unitary Development Plan).

2. Conservation area

Holyhead Mountain Village

3. Community

The Conservation area lies within the community of Holyhead.

4. Date designated

Holyhead Mountain Village Conservation area was originally designated on 18th July 1991.

5. Reason designated

The majority of the present Mountain Village was built between 1848 and 1850 to provide housing for the work force employed in the construction of Holyhead Breakwater. It was, at the time, one of four Holyhead Mountain villages each linked by footpaths and narrow lanes provided for cart traffic. A system of enclosures evolved where householders were allowed to build a stone wall enclosing a piece of land. The enclosures and quarry village are unique to this part of Anglesey. Most of the village has retained its character with the enclosures, together with connecting winding lanes, presenting a strong pattern. In view of the village's social history and its unique built environment it is considered that the village's character is worthy of protection and enhancement.

6. Location

Holyhead Mountain Village (Grid Ref.: 228 828) lies approximately 2km (1¼ miles) west of Holyhead.

7. Area covered

The south boundary of the Conservation area undulates north off South Stack Road before veering northwards to the west omitting the small old quarries and the more craggy ground.

To the north the boundary runs approximately along the outer edges of the Breakwater Quarries until it reaches the lane leading to Tŷ-mawr and beyond. The boundary to the east then follows the lane past Cae Fabli and Tyddyn Ambrose to the rear gardens of Maes Y Mynydd estate. In total the Conservation area covers approximately 31 hectares (75 acres). (See Appendix III)

Most of the Conservation area save the eastern side lies within an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB). A Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI) and the Holy Island Coast Special Protection Area (pSPA) also overlap parts of the Conservation area to the west and northwest. (See Appendix I)

8. Setting

Geology: Some of the oldest rocks in Britain are found on Anglesey. The Island’s highest point, Mynydd Twr (Holyhead Mountain), standing at approximately 220m (718 feet) is formed from Precambrian strata. Viewed from the land side it has an almost perfect symmetry with the highest point standing right in the centre with the mountain sloping with even regularity towards the high cliffs on its north and south side. The Conservation area lies between ordnance datum levels 30-130m. The white Holyhead Quartzite on which the conservation area lies is a very pure re- crystallised sandstone with rather few sedimentary structures and containing a high proportion of silica, and gives rise to acidic mineral-deficient soils.

Landscape: The mountain dominates Holy Island. The village lies on the heather and bracken covered south slope of the headland whilst further to the north and west the mountainside meets the sea in dramatic fashion with cliffs plunging hundreds of feet into the sea. The Conservation area lies within Local Character Area 1 of the Ynys Môn Landscape Strategy (1999), which is based on the Countryside Council for Wales LANDMAP approach. This establishes a standard methodology for assessing landscape character across Wales.

The field pattern is predominantly of small enclosures ranging in size from less than a quarter of an acre to just over two acres. The quarrymen would have built the enclosure walls, on returning from their day's work, after the women had collected the countless small stones off the mountain slopes which are a characteristic feature of the walls within the Conservation area.

The great Victorian thinker John Ruskin wrote of Holyhead Mountain: "Beyond the moors of Anglesey stands that mighty granite rock, splendid in its heathery crest and foot planted in the deep sea...."

9. Historical background

Excavations of the foot slopes of Holyhead Mountain have revealed a collection of flint tools dating back even before the late Neolithic or early Bronze Age to what is now called the Mesolithic Age. The evidence for settlement in the form of circular huts, of which over fifty were recorded in the 1860s, goes back into the last 500 years B.C. extending through to the post-Roman centuries.

The early Celts, as they did with many mountains, would have regarded this highest peak on the Island as being sacred.

To the west of the conservation area, crowning the summit of Holyhead Mountain, lies the Iron Age Caer y Tŵr Hillfort within which, at the very highest point, are the remains of a Roman Watchtower that commands excellent views of Holyhead harbour and beyond.

Note: Twr here without the circumflex over the letter w, as with Mynydd Twr the Welsh name for Holyhead Mountain, refers to the pile of stones or cairns and not 'tower'.

It was in 61 A.D. that the Roman army invaded Anglesey. Although the invasion was tenaciously resisted their occupation ensured that peace would prevail for 300 years until their departure. Irish and Viking raiders would then attack the coastline.

Up until 1841, when work began on the construction of the Great Breakwater, there would have been only a handful of thatched roofed smallholdings on the slopes of the mountain. (See Appendix IV)

The mammoth task of constructing the 3km (1.86 mile) breakwater, which was to take 28 years using nearly 7 million tons of Quartzite stone quarried from the North East face of Holyhead Mountain, resulted in a great influx of families from all parts of Anglesey and beyond.

During this period an encroachment settlement on common land was established with new dwellings, constructed mainly from gathered local rock, being built conveniently on the foot hills, close to the quarry, to house some of the 1300 men employed on the works.

During this period a great many close knit communities were established on the mountain slopes including: Pentre Fferam Gorniog, Pentre Canol, Y Fron, Castell, Foel and Llaingoch. Each would have been proud of their separate identity. (See Appendix V)

The small Congregationalist Capel Tabor built in 1904 stands in the centre of the village. It replaced an earlier 1848 thatched roofed chapel that stood to the Northwest end of Pentre Pella.

Population change

When the work on the breakwater began in 1841 the population increased dramatically. Up until then there would have been no terraces of cottages only widely scattered farmsteads. However, with the completion of the Breakwater and the subsequent demise of the quarry the population of communities such as Foel, which at its height numbered over eighty, gradually fell with only two cottages now remaining. Changes to parish and community boundaries make accurate population comparisons extremely difficult. The task is made doubly difficult as Census figures do not readily differentiate the population of Holyhead Mountain from Holyhead town.

Archaeology

Holyhead Mountain is of considerable archaeological and historic significance and there could well be sensitive Roman or Mesolithic archaeological remains both within and on the outskirts of the Conservation area boundary.

10. Open spaces

The village is fortunate to have an abundance of open spaces, mainly small enclosures some of which are overgrown with heather, bracken and brambles in parts, enclosed by dry stone walls with some elements of hedging, which offer both pleasant views through the village and more spectacular far reaching views. The retention of these prized open spaces is vital in preserving the overall character and rustic feel of the village.

The grass paddocks to the lower slopes of the mountain are larger and of seemingly better agricultural quality than those found on the higher slopes. Many are now used for grazing horses or ponies.

There are numerous footpaths, and tracks with grass to centre, that meander and ascend the mountainside. (See Appendix VI)

A feeling of spaciousness is evident throughout the Conservation area due to the sparse amount of buildings and the general lack of mature trees.

There is historical evidence to there having been Allotment Gardens at Fron.

The communities would have been served by local springs the most notable being Ffynnon y Wrach situated to the southwest of the Conservation area.

Trees (See Appendix VI)

There are relatively few natural occurring trees, due to the exposed location and poor soil, considering the amount of area covered. However there is a well established plantation of Pine trees to the west of Merddyn-melyn (Map reference 'L') and also, to a lesser extent, to the north of Cae Fabli. (Map reference 'M')

Hedgerows

Old blackthorn, hawthorn and bramble hedgerows are evident along footpaths and by enclosure walls. Under the Hedgerow Regulations 1997 (S1 No. 1160) it is against the law to remove most countryside hedgerows without permission.

Flora and fauna

Added protection is given to the natural environment by the AONB that covers the majority of the Conservation area and also the SSSI and Holy Island Coast Special Protection Area (CSPA) that covers some parts of the north-west.

On the Quartzite of Holyhead Mountain thin acid soils occur, with rock outcrops common, bearing heath vegetation.

As a rule, the flora in acid soils is somewhat poor, being dominated by relatively few species, of which Gorse and Heathers are the most common. In the wetter parts of heaths the general scene may be enlivened by dark green patches of Moss and by patches of the golden-yellow Bog Asphodel an indicator of mineral-deficient soils.

The unspoilt nature of the countryside, particularly the profusion of bracken, heather, bramble and gorse as well as the assortment of hedgerows, would suggest that a large variety of animals are supported.

11. Townscape

The older buildings found within the Conservation area consist mainly of short terraces or detached houses and small holdings scattered about its breadth. The traditional cottages are linear and shallow, which has the effect of reducing the overall height of the buildings, and harmonise naturally into the landscape.

A large number of properties front directly onto the lanes, or have very small front gardens with the back gardens being larger whilst the new properties or their replacement have been set in the centre of the plots.

Most of the dwellings are rectangular in form with pitched roofs and generally, with a few exceptions, of simple design with little architectural adornments.

Pentre Pella has a single stepped roof line to accommodate the natural gradient.

The narrow lanes and tracks that follow the natural contours as well as many properties are bounded by traditional local random rubble dry stone walls capped with matching cock and hen coping. Parking spaces for vehicles on the narrow lanes are scarce throughout the village.

A very important and valued feature of the village and its daily life is the extensive footpath system. There are over 1100m of public footpaths indicated on the definitive map and a similar amount of unregistered paths and tracks that serve to link the settlements, remote small holdings and the countryside. (See Appendix VI)

Unfortunately some dwellings including the greater parts of some terraces, most notably at Pentre Canol, have been lost. However, some original buildings still survive in original form and of particular interest is Dryll Gwlyb Farm.

Views (See Appendix VII & VIII)

There are fine outward views from most parts of the Conservation area but particularly noteworthy are the views: i) from the end of the lane by Tŷ-mawr down towards the old Breakwater quarry below. (Map reference 'A')

ii) looking landwards to unrivalled panoramic views of the whole of Holy Island, the greater part of Anglesey and the Snowdonia mountain range. (No map reference)

iii) from most of the higher ground northwards towards Carmel Head and the Skerries. (No map reference)

iv) from the west of Tŷ-mawr where the Breakwater and gunpowder magazines provide the major focus. (Map reference 'B')

v) from the field gate by Pentre Canol down towards Holyhead and the Breakwater. (Map reference 'C')

There are noteworthy inward views from:

i) the higher ground down towards Pentre Pella etc. (Map reference 'D')

ii) the lower and upper end of Pentre Pella along the terrace. (Map reference 'E')

iii) the green patch of land up towards Pentre-Fferam-Gorniog. (Map reference 'F')

iv) Llaingoch looking upwards towards the mountain and the village. (Map reference 'G')

The views into and out of the village are deemed to be important to the overall character of the area and therefore the design of any new development should take the views into consideration.

12. The local economy

Former

Farming would have been the dominant industry on the mountain until work began on the building of the Great Breakwater. During the construction period the vast majority of the men of the village would have been quarrymen or employed in some capacity on the building work.

Most of the conventional shops were to be found in Llaingoch with 'shops' in Holyhead Mountain tending to be small concerns undertaken from the front rooms of houses.

Present

The only visible sign of commercial activity within the Conservation Area boundary are the small scale farming, possibly for pleasure rather than financial gain, and the Engineering Works on the southern perimeter. There are no retail outlets in the village.

Major nearby employers include: aluminium works, transport (rail and ferry) and the retail sector at the town although the rate of pay in the latter sector is historically low. Holyhead still remains an unemployment black spot with 10.1% of men out of work in October 2002.

Opportunities

The natural cliffs and RSPB bird watching station by Ellins Tower south of South Stack Lighthouse draw a substantial number of ornithologists. There are cliff top paths that run from the Breakwater Country Park to South Stack. Both activities suggest some opportunity in the services sector particularly tourism and leisure.

13. Physical fabric

Today the vast majority of the original details of the buildings (e.g. sash windows, doors, and cast iron rainwater goods etc.) have unfortunately been lost. A large proportion of the stonework elevations that possibly at one time would have been lime washed, have regrettably been replaced by either smooth or roughcast render, or worse, spar dash finish.

It is unfortunate that some of the traditional slate or slurried pitched roofs have been reinstated using concrete tiles or asbestos sheeting. The majority of the chimney stacks are squat with masonry or rendered finish (a few have brick corbelling), the most noticeable exception being Dryll (Circa 1910) which has three tall slender stacks. These elegant stacks together with the prominent Stanley Family, whose land it once was, coat of arms above its front door possibly reflect the status of the property.

Many of the original timber box sash windows and ledge and brace doors have either been replaced with contemporary stained hardwood or uPVC but their location and size remain relatively unchanged thus having a reduced impact on the overall form.

Silica dust presented a problem for the quarrymen's wives, for it was difficult to remove from men's clothing. Smooth local pebble lined beating walls were therefore built between sloping gable end supports of houses. One such house known as Tŷ Colbi (Beating House) stood close to where the present Tabor Chapel now stands.

The present floorscape mainly consists of narrow winding black tarmac finished roads, with evidence of rock outcrop, bordered by dry stone boundary walls of local random rubble Quartzite stone, with moss and lichen incrustations, and finished with matching cock and hen coping. There are no pavements and few grass verges.

14. Principal buildings (See Appendix VII & VIII)

1. No 6 Cottage on corner of Pentre Pella - Grade II

2. Both rows of Pentre Pella cottages - Important buildings

3. Capel Tabor - Important and Landmark building

4. Dryll and Dryll Gwlyb Farm – Important buildings

5. Inglenook - Landmark building

15. Positive and negative elements

Positive Elements

There has been a great deal of new development within the conservation area but there still remains, particularly at Dryll and Dryll Gwlyb Farm, numerous original or early details.

The best preserved quarrymen's terraced cottages are to be found at Pentre Pella.

Other notable surviving common local details include: rubble walls with matching or rendered squat chimneys, timber box sash windows, 4-20 paned painted timber windows, and Ledged and Braced doors.

The meandering historically developed network of paths, tracks and small roads interconnect and relate with both the natural and built environment.

The abundance of open space surrounds small clusters of communal buildings.

The many fine views, commanding position and natural setting are exceptional and unprecedented for Anglesey.

The dry stone boundary walls of local small stone with matching cock and hen coping help harmonise the balance between development and nature.

The lack of any through traffic helps maintain the rural feel of the village with chickens able to wander at will along the rural lanes.

Three attractive stone stiles are to be found along the footpaths.

Negative Elements

The unsympathetic alterations carried out by the introduction of roughcast and spar dash finish to a great many of the buildings within the Conservation area has had a negative impact on the appearance, character and architectural interest of the area. It is hoped that the original masonry finish might hopefully resurface at some point in the future as inevitably fashion changes over time.

At the same time the replacement of the traditional windows and doors with contemporary stained hardwood or uPVC has also altered the overall appearance of the area.

The ingress of 'foreign' tiles and asbestos sheeting as roofing materials together with the installation of modern velux roof windows should be discouraged and efforts made to reinstate the offending roofs with natural slate.

Unsympathetic modern DIY alterations have also been carried out on many buildings.

Black coloured satellite dishes are inauspiciously highlighted against the white painted render of Pentre Pella cottages.

Unsympathetic extensions and porch additions to fronts have altered the appearance of many properties.

Some buildings are standing derelict with roofs missing whilst others have been neglected and are in a poor state of repair.

The new engineering work shed currently under construction, which lies within the Conservation area boundary, is of an inappropriate size and scale and is highly visible from both within and outside the Conservation area.

To retain the special character of the area it is vital that the scale and proportion of any new buildings and extensions respect the inherent scale, style and setting of this historic settlement.

The unfinished render concrete block-work and red facing brick boundary walls introduced within the conservation area are in stark contrast to the familiar traditional local random rubble walls.

Inappropriate urban style brick and spar dash pillars to field gate have also been erected.

Unsightly power lines traverse along the mountainside via the north of Inglenook and Dryll towards Pentre Pella and beyond. The wirescape distracts much from the landscape and streetscape and can be regarded as being a distracting visual intrusion. The removal of overhead lines and timber poles by under-grounding can only enhance the special character which exists.

The 12 feet high stone/brick entrance pillars erected within the Conservation area have no regard to the local materials or scale and are also in total discord with the surrounding architecture and character.

New developments should be of a scale in keeping with the rest of the village.

It is not only large developments that bring about unwelcome change, smaller alterations to; homes, open spaces, paths and hedges, can not only alter the appearance but also affect the whole feel of the village. Therefore, every effort should be made to ensure that any new developments harmonise with neighbouring properties and spaces.

The use of steel post and 'Public Footpath' sign instead of timber is deemed inappropriate for this rural area.
