Minutes
What officers recommended
Officers recommended permission subject to conditions, including removal of the advertisement panels by 1 November 2028 or when the associated development was completed.
“(02) The advertisement panels hereby approved shall be removed before the 1st of November 2028 or following completion of the associated development, whichever is sooner.”
Officer report
Officers’ assessment
The temporary panels were considered acceptable because they supported redevelopment, would not harm residential amenity or highways, and would enhance the conservation area.
“The application site is located within the Holyhead conservation area. Strategic policy PS 20 states that the Local Planning Authority will preserve and where appropriate, enhance its unique heritage assets. Proposals that will preserve and where appropriate enhance conservation areas, their setting and significant views into and out of the area will be granted.”
“This is an application for the erection of advertisement panels in connection to the redevelopment of the site into a public amenity area. The panels will be erected temporarily until the development is completed and will have no impact on the surrounding area, especially as the redevelopment of the site will vastly improve the visual appearance of the site.”
Officer report
Committee consideration
The application was presented because it was submitted by the Council, and approval was proposed and seconded by Councillors Glyn Haynes and Kenneth P Hughes.
“Councillor Glyn Haynes proposed that the application be approved in accordance with the Officer’s recommendation. Councillor Kenneth P Hughes seconded the proposal of approval.”
