Summary

The meeting was primarily focused on planning applications, with significant discussions on drainage issues, holiday home saturation, and local infrastructure concerns.

Drainage and Flooding Concerns

The committee discussed an application for 13 chalets in Dwyran. Local members, including Councillor Arfon Wyn and Councillor Johnnie Van Jones, raised concerns about flooding and drainage. The area is prone to flooding, and there were worries about sewage overflow affecting local homes. Despite SAB approval for the drainage scheme, the committee decided to defer the decision for a cooling-off period to consider these concerns further.

Holiday Home Saturation

Several applications for holiday homes were discussed, with significant opposition from local members and residents. Councillor Carwyn Jones and Councillor Gary Pritchard highlighted the over-saturation of holiday homes in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll, where the percentage of holiday homes exceeds the 15% threshold. The committee refused an application for converting a chapel into holiday units, citing the over-provision of holiday homes and parking issues.

Local Infrastructure and Safety

Concerns about local infrastructure and safety were raised in multiple applications. The narrow roads and lack of pavements in Newborough were highlighted as significant issues, particularly for developments that would increase traffic. Councillor Johnnie Van Jones emphasized the danger of additional vehicles on single-track roads and the impact on local services like the village surgery.

Other Applications

  • Cemetery Extension in Cemaes: Approved unanimously, with local support.
  • Food and Drinks Cabin at Talwrn Football Field: Approved unanimously, with no objections.

The meeting concluded with a reminder that the next committee meeting will be on the 24th of July.
