Planning committee

Decided by Gwynedd Planning Committee on 7 Sept 2026.

Refused

As officers recommended.

Officers advised refusal because the pitches would harm the AONB landscape and lacked sufficient environmental, agricultural, highways and flood information.
The applicant’s representative and Local Member supported the scheme, citing farm diversification, local demand, screening and economic benefits.
The committee voted to refuse by delegating powers to the Senior Planning Manager, in accordance with the recommendation.

Site constraints 4

Llyn National Landscape

Great weight to conserving the landscape; major development restricted.

Previously an area of outstanding natural beauty, which is still the designation in law. Since 2023 authorities must seek to further its purpose, not merely have regard to it.

Agricultural land, grade 3b

Not best and most versatile land (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Source: the Predictive Agricultural Land Classification Map (Defra and Natural England, 2025; the Welsh Government's Predictive ALC Map 2 in Wales), a model rather than a site survey. A site survey can differ.

Where development of farmland is needed, policy prefers poorer land over the best and most versatile (grades 1, 2 and 3a). Three sources: Natural England's post-1988 field surveys, which are definitive where they exist; the Defra predictive map for England (2025) and the Welsh Government predictive map, modelled from the soil map with 3a and 3b split; and the 1970s provisional map, which planners and other services still show, coarser and with grade 3 undivided. Where the provisional and predicted grades disagree, treat the predicted grade as the current estimate and expect an application to carry its own survey.

Also on the record

Special protection area about 439 m away: Glannau Aberdaron ac Ynys Enlli / Aberdaron Coast and Bardsey Island; SSSI about 439 m away: Glannau Aberdaron.

Not affected

Outside flood zones 2 and 3 · No scheduled monument at the site

Checked on 11 September 2026. The pin for this application is the centre of its postcode rather than the building, so distances to nearby designations are measured from the postcode and can be out by the width of the postcode area.

A boundary can run through a site and the council holds the definitive record: confirm with the council before relying on this.
