Officer report

Officers recommended approval

Officers found the proposal acceptable because it would maintain safe access, provide biodiversity gain and complement the appearance of the site.

“Under policy AMG 5 and the Councils duty under The Environmental Act (2016), it is expected that all proposals demonstrate a net gain to biodiversity. Net gain will be achieved in this case by the installation of bug hotel on the existing timber fence on the northern site elevation. This was considered appropriate in achieving net gain to biodiversity in consideration of the proposed scheme.”

“Policy PCYFF 3 of the Anglesey and Gwynedd Joint Local Development Plan requires that proposals are high quality whilst complementing and enhancing the appearance of the site and area. The proposed timber fence is of standard design for residential settings and as such would not appear out of context nor would it negatively impact the appearance of the site or area.”
