DECISION: To refuse in accordance
with the recommendation

 

Reasons:

 

·       It is not considered
that the proposed units easily assimilate to the landscape and therefore it is
not considered as an unobtrusive location that is well-concealed by the
existing features of the landscape, so  the development would be detrimental
to the visual quality of the landscape. The proposal would not add to the
maintenance, enhancement or restoration of the
recognised character of the Llŷn Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. There
is also concern about creating a new caravan site a considerable distance from
the main roads network along a busy rural road where there is a high density of
holiday sites and the impact of the associated development work on the features
and character of the landscape. Therefore, it is considered that the proposal
is contrary to the relevant requirements of Policies TWR 5 and AMG 1 of the
Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan and Supplementary Planning
Guidance (SPG): Tourist Facilities and Accommodation.

 

·       Insufficient evidence
has been presented as part of the planning application to demonstrate that full
consideration has been given to the loss of the best and most versatile
agricultural land. It is therefore considered to be contrary to the
requirements of criteria 6 of Policy PS 6 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint
Local Development Plan 2011-2026 and the advice provided in paragraphs 3.58 and
3.59 of Planning Policy Wales.
