Report by the Director of Planning and Land Management (1) NP5/71/AD38A – Installation of 5 information panels, Caer Gai, Llanuwchllyn. Reported – Case Officer presented the report and the detailed background. Public Speaking Mr. Tomos Jones, the Applicant, addressed the Planning and Access Committee and asked Members to consider the following:- - the applicant thanked Members for raising their concerns. - the National Park ecologist has undertaken a site visit and raised no concerns. If any nests are found, then the work would stop until the end of the nesting season and any moss will be moved etc. - the use of steel was felt to be appropriate on a working farm. - this is partly a maintenance project which provides access and interpretation for visitors. - it would be difficult to convey the full history of the site, from the Roman settlements to the civil war, with less than 5 panels. - the project aims to cater for all audiences and more information will be available on the National Park website. - a panel referring to the legend of King Arthur will also be included. - the project delivers on National Park purposes. Arising thereon, Members made the following observations:- - Members welcomed the scheme and the use of the standard national park colour pallet. - Members asked officers to work at encouraging walkers to the site. The website could provide information on how to get to Caer Gai and information panels could be erected along the long access track. - Members asked officers to consider methods other than panels in future, such as developing QR codes, providing drone overviews, 3D models etc. Officers advised that all this was being considered but as the technology was in its infancy, problems had been encountered. - Members suggested preparing leaflets to market the site from other tourist properties run by the Authority, such as Yr Ysgwrn, Plas Tan y Bwlch and the Information Centres. - Glanllyn could provide a young audience, and local schools were also a target market. Members will also visit during a Member Development Day. - RESOLVED to grant permission in accordance with recommendation. 3 6.
