Description: 1.1 This is an outline application to construct a building with three flats and six houses (four terraced, one house and a linked dormer bungalow). This would make use of the existing site which is a combination of a yard and redundant outbuildings that have been used as a bakery in the past and two empty houses, as well as the bakery building which is used as a ‘brick a brack’ warehouse. The site as a whole is in a poor state of repair and there is not much interest in the buildings. 1.2 The site is located on Lôn Bopty off Wesla Street. Lôn Bopty serves the site and the rear of some of the buildings in the High Street. Lôn Bopty is not a through road and therefore, limited use is made of it. 1.3 The site is surrounded by developments. There are residential houses to the north, east and north-west, and the rear of the houses and their gardens abut the site. To the south- west, Lôn Bopty provides a definite boundary, but beyond this relatively narrow road are the rear of the substantial buildings in the High Street with commercial units on the ground floors and a combination of living units or stores on the higher floors. To the south-east, there is a two-storey house and beyond this, there are buildings of an industrial appearance. 1.4 The proposal involves clearing the entire site and building a terrace of four houses with the highest part measuring approximately 9m to the roof ridge and its gable end approximately 11m from the rear of the nearest dwelling. They would face Lôn Bopty. These would be two-storey houses with an attic room and they would have a parking space in the front and a garden to the rear. The building for the flats would be two-storey and it would measure approximately 8m to the roof ridge; the associated two-storey dwelling would also measure approximately 8m to the roof ridge and a storey and a half dwelling associated to that would measure approximately 5.8m to the roof ridge and it would have a small hip roof. These units would be in the form of a terrace but would have various roof levels. The houses would have gardens to the rear and to the front there would be a servicing road, parking spaces to share and a bin compound. 1.5 The application seeks approval for the access and site plan as part of the outline application. 1.6 A Design and Access Statement, along with a CODE Statement, have been submitted with the application. The DAS proposes that two of the nine units will be affordable. 2. Relevant Policies: 2.1 Section 38(6) of the Planning and Compulsory Purchase Act 2004 and paragraph 2.1.2 of Planning Policy Wales emphasise that planning decisions should be in accordance with the Development Plan, unless material considerations indicate otherwise. Planning considerations include National Planning Policy and the Unitary Development Plan. 2.2 Gwynedd Unitary Development Plan 2009: POLICY B7 – SITES OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL IMPORTANCE Refuse proposals which will damage or destroy archaeological remains which are of national importance (whether they are registered or not) or their setting. Also refuse any development which will affect other archaeological remains unless the need for the development is greater than the significance of the archaeological remains. POLICY B22 – BUILDING DESIGN Promote good building design by ensuring that proposals conform to a series of criteria aimed at safeguarding the recognised features and character of the local landscape and environment. POLICY B23 – AMENITIES Safeguard the amenities of the local neighbourhood by ensuring that proposals conform to a series of criteria aimed at protecting the recognised features and amenities of the local area. POLICY B25 – BUILDING MATERIALS Safeguard the visual character by ensuring that building materials are of a high standard and are in keeping with the character and appearance of the local area. POLICY B29 – DEVELOPMENT ON LAND AT RISK FROM FLOODING Manage specific developments in the C1 and C2 flood zones and direct them towards suitable land in zone A unless they can conform to a series of criteria relevant to the features of the site and to the purpose of the development. POLICY C3 – RE-USING PREVIOUSLY DEVELOPED SITES Proposals that give priority to re-using previously developed land or buildings that are located within or near development boundaries will be permitted provided that the site or building and the proposed use are appropriate. POLICY C7 – BUILDING IN A SUSTAINABLE MANNER Proposals for new development, or for the adaptation and change of use of land or buildings will be refused where consideration has not been given to specific environmental matters. Proposals must conform to specific criteria regarding building in a sustainable manner, unless it can be demonstrated that it is impractical to do so. POLICY CH3 – NEW HOUSES ON UNALLOCATED SITES WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT BOUNDARIES OF THE SUB-REGIONAL CENTRE AND URBAN CENTRES Approve the construction of houses on appropriate unallocated sites within the development boundaries of the Sub-regional Centre and the Urban Centres. POLICY CH6 – AFFORDABLE HOUSING ON ALL ALLOCATED SITES IN THE PLAN AREA AND ON SITES THAT BECOME AVAILABLE AND ARE UNALLOCATED WITHIN THE DEVELOPMENT BOUNDARIES OF THE SUB- REGIONAL CENTRE AND THE URBAN CENTRES Approve proposals for housing developments on sites allocated for housing or on random sites for five or more units within the development boundaries of the sub-regional centre and the urban centres, which provide an appropriate element of affordable housing. POLICY CH33 – SAFETY ON ROADS AND STREETS Development proposals will be approved provided they can conform to specific criteria relating to the vehicular entrance, the standard of the existing roads network and traffic calming measures. POLICY CH36 – PRIVATE CAR PARKING FACILITIES Proposals for new development, extensions to existing development or change of use will be refused unless off-street parking is provided in accordance with the Council’s current parking guidelines, and having given due consideration to the accessibility of public transport, the possibility of walking or cycling from the site and the proximity of the site to a public car park. 2.3 National Policies: Planning Policy Wales 2011 TAN 12: Design TAN1 15: Development and Flood Risk TAN 22: Sustainable Buildings 3. Relevant Planning History: 3.1 C02D/0343/44/AM An application for 4 affordable units withdrawn. 4. Consultations: Community/Town Council: Object as it obstructs access for the fire service, ambulance etc. and there is no room to park cars. Transportation Unit: Environment Agency: No objection. Conditions relating to the finished floor level. Welsh Water: Standard observations. Gwynedd Archaeological Condition to record the site for archaeological records purposes. Planning Service: Public Protection Unit: Possibility that there is asbestos on the site. Public Consultation: A notice was placed on the site and neighbouring residents were informed. The advertising period ends on 14 March 2012 and one letter / correspondence had been received when the report was being prepared, objecting on the following grounds: Loss of light and privacy, within 6m to the gable end of unit 9 Noise and nuisance when developing 5. Assessment of the material planning considerations: 5.1 The principle of the development Policies C3 and CH3 are relevant when assessing the principle of developing the site for houses. Policy C3 relates to ‘Reusing Previously Used Sites’ and proposals that give priority to reusing previously developed land located within a development boundary will be approved, provided that the site and proposed use are suitable and in accordance with the objectives of the Plan. This can be assessed further by means of Policy CH3 which approves, in principle, proposals to build sites on appropriate unallocated sites within the boundaries of Urban Centres. If it is proposed to construct more than five units, it is also required to provide a percentage of affordable houses in accordance with Policy CH6. The DAS proposes that two of the nine units will be affordable. This will be assessed under the heading 106 Agreement Matters. 5.2 Visual, general and residential amenities The existing site is untidy and has been left to fall into a poor state of repair. Developing the site would open it up and neaten it, ensure that regular use is made of it and would allow for natural supervision of the area. Policy B22 is not completely relevant to the outline application as it relates to the Building Design and asks to respect the site in terms of scale, size, form, density, location, plan etc.; and for it not to have an unacceptable detrimental impact on the form and character of the townscape or on prominent public vistas.

  • 7.0 Tranquility and Low Pollution
    7.0 TRANQUILITY AND LOW POLLUTION The overall area of “undisturbed”* land in the AONB has decreased since 1997, from 85% to 71%. Traffic has increased on the A499 since 1997 with related Environmental side-effects. Many structures (masts and wind turbines) have recently been erected. Many street lights have been replaced with LED in 2016/17 * Countryside usually free of any substantial disturbance in daytime 7.1 Introduction 7.1.1 Tranquillity is a characteristic which is recognised and appreciated more and more in these busy and often hectic times. It is a phenomenon not easily measured but can be said to be a combination of factors including low levels of noise from industry and vehicles, limited traffic movement and other intrusions and low levels of lighting to disturb the night's dark skies. It is therefore a combination of many factors which creates an atmosphere of tranquillity and areas with high levels of tranquillity are relatively rare throughout the UK although there are significant areas in Scotland. 7.1.2 Tranquillity and a peaceful atmosphere were recognised as one of Llŷn AONB’s special qualities during the preparation of the original Management Plan in 2004/5. The area’s rurality and remote nature is partly responsible for this and has meant that there are no significant industrial or infrastructural developments and only low levels of intrusion by traffic and machinery. Also, the area’s population is relatively low – around 6,000 – considering the surface area. 7.1.3 As well as being an area with high levels of tranquillity, the environmental quality of the soil, air, water and sea water in Llŷn is generally high, with low levels of pollution.

    HCS103 National Assembly for Wales Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee Holiday Caravan Sites (Wales) Bill Response from: Llanengan Community Council CYNGOR CYMUNED LLANENGAN Clerc – Einir Wyn – Clerk Fferm Cae Du, Aber-soch, PWLLHELI, Gwynedd. LL53 7HT Ffôn: (01758) 712434 – tŷ/712707 – peiriant ateb E-bost: [email protected] 20 May 2014 Clerk, Communities, Equality and Local Government Committee, Welsh Assembly Government, CARDIFF BAY. CF99 1NA Dear Sir/Madam, Consultation on the Holiday Caravan Sites (Wales) Bill I write on behalf of the above Council to express the following comments: It opposes requests from any permanent caravan site in this Community to amend a Condition in its Planning Permission in order for it to be used for holidays throughout the year as this would set a precedent for other sites (a total of approximately two thousand caravans in this community). Concern is expressed that this would open the floodgates for the caravans to be used as permanent homes and the effect on the Welsh language and the native Welsh society. It would also place additional strain on services, especially health and care at a time when they are already facing financial cuts. Additionally, Local Authorities have no means of monitoring them. The Council is in favour of ending the practice of using holiday caravans as permanent residential homes by making it a requirement for their owners and long term occupiers to show that their main residence is elsewhere and giving local authorities the power to deal with caravan occupiers who fail this test. I trust that you will consider the above comments.

  • Pwyllgor Safonau Cyngor Gwynedd
    ANNUAL REPORT OF THE GWYNEDD COUNCIL STANDARDS COMMITTEE 2019 - 2020 FOREWORD BY THE CHAIR It’s rather a cliché these days to note that the past year has been an unprecedented one and the global pandemic has changed our lives for months and possibly for years to come. But it is impossible to ignore the widespread impact that Covid-19 has had. Officers, elected members and front line staff have all had to respond swiftly to ensure that the needs of the County's residents are met. From the outside, for those of us who rely on the services provided by Gwynedd, this seems to have been achieved seamlessly but I know that there’s a huge amount of hard work and dedication behind the scenes which needs to be recognised. Thanks to everyone involved. The Standards Committee was affected too. The June meeting was cancelled but we were able to meet in October through Zoom. Whilst not being able to meet face to face is not entirely satisfactory, the normalisation of virtual meetings is to be welcomed as one of the unexpected benefits of the crisis, saving time and money. We as a Committee have reported for several years that no cases have been passed on to us and therefore conclude that Standards in Gwynedd are high. But, every year at the Council's plenary session members note that a number of cases are referred to the Ombudsman but that the process is long-winded and the threshold for an investigation is high as invariably in his opinion there is no case to answer.
