Planning committee

Decided by Gwynedd Planning Committee on 23 Mar 2026.

Refused

As officers recommended.

  • Officers advised refusal because the building’s scale, design and massing would harm the area and neighbouring residents’ living conditions.
  • An objector supported refusal, while the agent said local housing need should outweigh concerns about design, mass and amenity.
  • The committee resolved to refuse the application because of its intrusive design and significant adverse effect on neighbouring residents.
