Decision as recorded
RESOLVED: that the variations to conditions 2 and 3 of the application be GRANTED in accordance with officer recommendations and the removal of condition 5 be REFUSED against officer recommendation.
An application was submitted for the variation of condition 2 to vary the list of approved plans to permit the removal of chimney; details of proposed parking and cycle store submitted in accordance with condition 3; and removal of condition 5 "Notwithstanding the provisions of the Town and Country Planning (Use Classes) Order 1987 (as amended) and the Town and Country Planning (General Permitted Development) Order1995 (as amended) the dwelling and flat hereby permitted shall only be used as a Class C3 dwelling and for no other use within Class C." in relation to planning permission 03/2024/0102. Public Speaker – Dafydd Edwards (agent) (for) – the application was originally brought to the Planning Committee several months ago (June 2024) with Councillor Karen Edwards recommending a condition was added to stop the property being used as an Air BnB in the future. The Town Council had raised concerns and requested that condition 5 was upheld. The application was seeking to remove condition 5 and vary conditions 2 and 3. The proposal did not give the applicant the opportunity to remove the previous decision to sub divide the property. The property could only accommodate a certain number of people due to the number of bedrooms offered. Parking provision and traffic generation was pre-calculated by the Highways Department on the number of bedrooms the property had with no concerns raised. The following aspects of the Planning officers report was referenced - it was not considered that there was sufficient evidence to suggest the Local Planning Authority (LPA) should be controlling C3, C5 and C6 use classes in the location. No evidence on the housing need in Llangollen had been evidenced and the local Highways Department had raised no objections. Therefore, officers did not consider that it was reasonable for the LPA to impose this condition. Other considerations such as tourism in Llangollen should not be suppressed. The opportunity to host or have provisions for properties to operate as Air BnBs within a central town location, with off street parking should not be opposed. Tourism was the economic backbone of Llangollen, and the opportunity to enhance this should not be overlooked and should be fully supported by the LPA and Councillors. It was respectfully asked that the Committee agree with local experts within the relevant departments of the Council and grant the application. The Chair asked officers to clarify the conditions in respect to the application. The Planning officer stated that there was a housing need across Denbighshire which was evidenced in the Local Development Plan (LDP). However, the current dwelling, prior to the application had open use with no restrictions. The application was not to change that use for a second home or a holiday let which right would normally be attached to any other dwelling in the County. Discussions with colleagues in the Council Tax Department had taken place and they had stated that there were no issues in the area in terms of the levels of second home ownership and holiday lets and therefore the data did not justify the level of restriction condition 5 had on the property. Local and Committee member, Council Karen Edwards accepted the variations to conditions 2 and 3 in the application but did not accept the removal of condition 5. Birch Hill was already a narrow and congested street with a marked increase in on street parking and emergency vehicles had struggled in the past to get through. The 4 parking bays illustrated in the application would result in vehicles needing to reverse in and out of the property which was concerning. It was proposed by Councillor Karen Edwards that the variations to conditions 2 and 3 were granted, and condition 5 remained. The Development Manager clarified that the decision on the application could be split over its component parts. The Senior Engineer for Traffic, Parking and Road Safety stated that there was no highway concerns raised when the application was first brought to Planning Committee in 2024 relating to the parking scheme. It would therefore be difficult to defend refusal of the application should an appeal be submitted. The Development Manager further explained if the Committee were to refuse an application it was important to have evidence to support the refusal. It would be difficult to refuse the application in relation to condition 5 from a highway perspective. It was also stated that any dwelling in Denbighshire had the opportunity, through permitted development rights, to move from the residential use of a permanent dwelling to a second home and holiday let. Councillor Andrea Tomlin stated that the Planning Committee in 2024 had reasons for placing the condition on the previous application. The property was unique and in a unique location and questioned if there was a difference when considering highways concerns between a residential class use of a dwelling and the traffic movement of a holiday let class dwelling. The Chair stated that since the previous application had been granted legislation had been created which allow Council’s, where data supported, to remove the right for dwellings to switch from holiday lets or second homes. However, much more data was needed to implement such a restriction for areas of the County. The Senior Engineer for Traffic, Parking and Road Safety stated the original application was for the creation of a dwelling and flat which contained a recommendation from the Planning Committee on the parking layout, and this was agreed. It would be difficult to defend a refusal on highway grounds in relation to condition 5. Councillor Gwyneth Ellis requested clarity on the Welsh Government’s (WG) new policy on the new use classes relating to second homes and holiday lets. The Development Manager stated that the change to use classes introduced by WG was to tackle the increase in second homes and holiday lets in areas of Wales where there was a high percentage of empty properties being used like this. Councils had gathered their own evidence in relation to the number of second homes, holiday lets and empty homes. Whilst the policy from WG was new, there was still the need to have planning evidence in relation to the necessity of an area or levels of harm and there was no evidence of this from a highways perspective or from a residential use of the property perspective. Councillor Terry Mendies questioned why the applicant wanted to remove condition 5 if there were no current plans to use the property as a second home or holiday let. The Development Manager stated the removal of condition 5 could help the potential sale of the property in the future, condition 5 could be seen as restrictive and not necessary. Councillor Huw Hilditch- Roberts stated that houses in Denbighshire should be for residents to live in, addressing the housing need in the County was a necessity. Proposal – Councillor Karen Ewards proposed that the variations to conditions 2 and 3 of the application be granted in accordance with officer recommendations and the removal of condition 5 be refused against officer recommendation, seconded by Councillor Andrea Tomlin. Vote – For – 13 Against – 6 Abstain – 0 RESOLVED: that the variations to conditions 2 and 3 of the application be GRANTED in accordance with officer recommendations and the removal of condition 5 be REFUSED against officer recommendation.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED: that the application be GRANTED in accordance with Officers recommendations.
An application was submitted for the Extension and alteration to existing building to form 8 self-contained flats including use of land as parking and associated works. Public Speaker – Matthew Jones (applicant) (for) - the Royal Hotel had remained empty for a long period of time with its physical condition continuing to deteriorate year on year. Without meaningful intervention the Royal Hotel would fall further into disrepair becoming a long-term eyesore and liability. Planning permission was originally obtained in 2021 to transform the Royal Hotel into a luxury hotel and spa. However, this was no longer viable in the current market. The original £4.7 million budget escalated to over £6.6 million due to rising construction and energy costs, interest rate increases and fundamental increases in the hospitality sector. The revised application was based on market testing, financial modelling and lender requirements to ensure its viability and deliverability. The proposed model included a substantial boutique hotel, reserving the buildings heritage and function whilst also introducing a modest number of residential apartments within the 1960s extension. The Royal Hotel would remain a large hotel with the majority of the building being retained to its original use. The apartments were not a compromise of the building but were a necessary integrated part of the building to ensure the restoration of the building was viable. Without the apartments the site would not be able to attract funding or necessary returns of a heritage led refurbishment. Dedicated parking for the proposed apartments was located directly opposite the site which, while it was acknowledged that construction works would cause a degree of disturbance in the local area, this was unavoidable. The Committee were urged to grant the application to avoid the building falling into further disrepair. Local and Committee member, Councillor Karen Edwards agreed that the Royal Hotel had fallen into a level of disrepair. The hotel was in a prominent position in Llangollen Town centre and the investment was welcomed and proposed that the application was granted subject to the conditions and the signing of the Section 106 legal agreement set out in the recommendations. Proposal – Councillor Karen Edwards proposed that the application be granted in accordance with officer recommendations, seconded by Councillor Alan James. Vote – For – 18 Against – 0 Abstain – 0 RESOLVED: that the application be GRANTED in accordance with Officers recommendations.

An application was submitted for the erection of 1 dwelling, construction of a new vehicular access and associated works. Public Speaker – Matthew Jones (applicant) (for) – the current proposal represented a clear and positive evolution from the previous scheme that had been submitted. The Town Council had previously supported the application for two dwellings in June 2025, the current application was for one dwelling causing less traffic, less visual impacts and a greater retention of open green space. The Town Council reviewed the proposal again on the 16 September 2025 and gave the decision of no objections. The dwelling would be a home for the applicant and his family and would enable home working. Every professional consultee had expressed support for the application. The AONB Joint Committee welcomed the reduction from two dwelling to a single dwelling, describing the application as a more natural and sensitive form of infilling that reflected the open character of the plot. There was also a significant decrease in the impact on the historical park, Plas Newydd. CADW had confirmed that the proposal would not affect the significance of the historical registered park and gardens. Highways Services raised no objections to the proposal and Planning officers’ recommendation was to grant the application. The single dwelling was a result of carefully refined professional collaboration and genuine responsiveness to feedback, striking the balance between modest development and protection of the local heritage. The Committee were respectfully asked to grant the application. General debate – Local Member Councillor Karen Edwards referred to the concerns raised regarding access to the site and commented that the conditions placed on the application addressed those concerns. The Senior Engineer for Traffic, Parking and Road Safety stated the Highways Service had been in extensive contact with the applicant to develop an improved highway scheme. The new access would now have the wall set back which would increase visibility, and a further condition had been added to the application to close off the existing access following the construction of the dwelling. Therefore, there were no highway safety grounds to refuse the application. The Chair requested officers clarified the offsetting stated within the application. The Planning officer stated that the application would be subject to the applicant signing a unilateral undertaking which was a legal agreement where they were proposing to surrender another consent. The applicant was in a unique situation where they owned another site in Llangollen. Llangollen was in a phosphate sensitive catchment area of the River Dee (Special Area of Conservation) where development was currently restricted due to additional phosphate loading. The applicant also owned the Royal Hotel in Llangollen and had previous consent and permission for 15 apartments and spa facilities in the basement which would have served up to 50 persons a time. Therefore, the proposal in the unilateral undertaking was to surrender that consent, on the agreement that they would then be able to implement this consent. By doing this and through the reduction in the number of apartments from 15 down to 8 and the reduction of two dwellings to a single dwelling in this application, there would be an overall reduction in phosphate loading. Natural Resources Wales (NRW) were satisfied following appropriate assessment. Proposal – Councillor Karen Edwards proposed that the application be granted in accordance with officer recommendations, seconded by Councillor Alan James. Vote – For – 19 Against – 0 Abstain – 0 RESOLVED: that the application be GRANTED in accordance with officer recommendations.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED: that the application be GRANTED in accordance with officer recommendations which is to include an additional condition on the specific materials used in relation to the design of the building.
An application was submitted for the demolition of existing swimming pool building, erection of reception and leisure building comprising of reception, offices, swimming pool, changing rooms, fitness suite, cafeteria, restaurant, bars and kitchen. Alterations to existing vehicular access, formation of parking, installation of package treatment plant, landscaping and associated works. The Development Manager informed the Committee that late correspondence had been received by officers and members from an interested party. The correspondence did not raise any issues or concerns that had not already been highlighted within the application or within other representation that had been previously submitted. Public Speaker – Lee Vickers (applicant) (for) – the replacement building had been developed to the highest standard of care, technical rigor and in consultation to address public concerns. Every statutory consultee, including Natural Resources Wales (NRW), Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Joint Committee, Highways Department, Welsh Water and the Ecology Officer had reviewed the application in detail with no objections being raised. The AONB Joint Committee highlighted significant benefits to the visitor economy with screening of the building using natural materials enhancing the sites appearance. The application aligned fully with Planning Policy Wales TAN 18 and all other relevant local policies. The application provided safe and convenient access to the site with sustainable travel options by foot or cycle and more than adequate parking provision, above the peak demand identified in a comprehensive traffic survey which was undertaken. Many local concerns related to non-planning matters however, where planning issues had been raised such as traffic, visual impact, ecology and tree protection these had been answered in detail in the final application. The leisure building would be open to residents, supporting community integration and electric vehicle charging ports were being installed to further encourage sustainable travel. Environmental and landscape protection was at the heart of the design with the building being fully screened by mature trees and the ground floor being constructed on piles to protect tree roots. Lighting was fully shielded and complied with the Dark Skies Wales. Surface drainage water was managed by suds infiltration and soakaways. Foul water would be treated with advanced phosphorus removal, protecting the River Dee and Bala Lake Conservation. The application supported the local economy and community well-being with all technical requirements being met. Public Speaker – Martyn Holland (resident) (against) - Local residents had major reservations regarding the application. The proposed building was largely made of glass which would include a large function room and external balcony which exacerbated many concerns regarding noise and traffic. There were major concerns of the potential impact on the immediate neighbours in the village of Llanarmon from cars travelling to and from the facility during the day and attending functions in the evening. In the report, the applicant stated there would be no music on the balcony and there would be no noise from the function room as all the glass would be double glazed. Depending on the weather, music noise could travel some distance especially in the Summer in the open countryside and questions were raised around the applicant stating they would keep all windows and doors closed during the hot Summer months. A Google map of the area had been previously circulated to the Committee showing the distance from the village to the site and concerns were raised regarding the proposed building being close to the village end of the site and not in the centre of the site as originally stated. The report highlighted the protection of the habitats of wildlife around the site however, the quality of life of the immediate neighbours should also be taken into consideration. There were only four letters of support for the application from residents of the caravan park with none being submitted from local residents. The Committee were asked to refuse the application for the sake of the surrounding community. General debate – Local and Committee member, Councillor Terry Mendies thanked officers for their work on the application that had been ongoing for many years. Councillor Terry Mendies stated he would be voting against the application raising the following concerns - · The late representation sheets (previously circulated) were inadequate as they did not show the exact proximity of the site to the neighbouring village (600m from the nearest dwellings). The public speaker, for the application stated that the building would be shielded by tall trees however, these trees would drop their leaves in the winter and therefore the building would be visible. · Welsh Water had stated that the water supply system in the immediate vicinity had insufficient capacity to service the development. Welsh Water had previously stated that the water pressure in Llanarmon was inadequate and therefore the application could have an impact on local residents. · Highway Services had raised no concerns with the access route to the site however, the proposed site was down a narrow lane with a bend which had seen road traffic collisions in the past. · Planning Policy Wales stated that all new developments should be at scale, design and character of the surrounding area. It was clear that the application was out of character for the area with the proposed building being considerably bigger than the club house already on the site. · Planning Policy Wales 5.5.3 stated that in rural areas tourism related development was an essential element in providing a healthy and diverse economy. Development should be sympathetic in nature. · Countryside Services and the Community Council were aiming to achieve Dark Skies status and although there had been reassurances from the Planning officer regarding the lighting being subdued, it was questioned if this would be enough. · There had been no business plan submitted, and following a public meeting with residents, it was made clear that residents would not use the facilities. · The application did not adhere to Planning Policy PSE 5 (Rural economy) which stated- proposals for new buildings are supported by an appropriate business case which demonstrates that the proposal will support the local economy and help sustain rural local communities. The business plan for the proposal was estimated and not fact. · The proposal would affect local businesses (Public House in Llanarmon) who had customers visiting from the existing caravan park as the proposal included a restaurant. Councillor Terry Mendies proposed that the application was refused against officer recommendations due to material planning considerations in Planning Policies PSE 5 and PSE 12. Councillor James Elson questioned what would happen to the old club house and swimming pool if permission was granted. The Principal Planning Officer stated that the existing facilities would be closed down and the old swimming pool would be removed. Any redevelopment of this part of the site would need further applications to be submitted to the Planning Committee. The Principal Planning Officer stated that there were strong feelings against the proposal in the community. Planning Policies PSE 5 and PSE 12 were relevant to the application. PSE 5 related to the Rural Economy and supported development in the open countryside where a suitable business case was submitted to show the potential benefits to the rural economy. PSE 12 related specifically to static and touring caravan sites. This stated that facility improvements of an existing site would be supported. The proposal was for long awaited improvements of the site’s current facilities. There was a business case submitted which demonstrated that there would be employment opportunities in the area which would have a beneficial impact on the economy, although there was an area of unknown within the business plan, this was an existing site and the developers of the site wanted to improve the facilities they offered. Visually, the applicant had moved the location of the proposed building to another part of the site and were removing 20 touring caravans from the site to facilitate this. Planning Officers had consulted with the AONB Joint Committee and NRW and neither had raised objections from a visual amenity perspective. The Tree officer had visited the site when leaves had dropped from the trees and felt that the building, being on the low ground of the site, was unlikely to have significant harm caused to it as a result of the development. Welsh Water had raised concerns with water supply and proposed a condition be added to the application should it be granted. Concerns were raised around Dark Skies and a further condition relating to a light spillage scheme being in place prior to the opening of the site was included in the application. In relation to the impact on residential amenity, the nearest dwelling to the site would be Park Farmhouse which was approximately 160m from the site. Officers also considered the distance to the village which was over 600m and was not considered too close for this type of facility. Officers were content that the application would not cause an unacceptable impact on local residents. The Senior Engineer for Traffic, Parking and Road Safety informed the Committee that although the proposal may lead to some additional traffic, this was counterbalanced by the removal of 20 static caravans from the site, meaning those former occupants would no longer be generating traffic to and from the site. There was no historical accident data from the site entrance or for the adjacent country lane that had been recorded. As part of the proposal, there was a scheme for onside widening along the existing drive and the provision of stop, give way signs and road markings at the sites entrance. Taking all the above into consideration, there were no objections from Highway Services for the application. Councillor Huw Hilditch-Roberts raised concerns regarding the appearance of the building, stating that it did not fit in with the surrounding area and questioned why the AONB Joint Committee had not raised any objections. Granting the application had the potential to set a precedent for rural applications in the future. The Principal Planning Officer stated it was important to look at each application on its own merit. Referring to setting a precedent with the design of the building, the building was designed to have a flat roof which was as low as possible for the space it was intended to be in. The view of the building from wider areas was very limited due to the building being greatly screened by trees as stated in the application. Councillor Alan James stated that the application was an exceptional development and would be a great resource for the local area. The design of the building was creative and modern. Councillor Alan James proposed that the application was granted in accordance with officer recommendations. Councillor Huw Hilditch-Roberts further reiterated that the building’s design was very different to anything in Denbighshire and would set a precedent for any future applications in an AONB and this was a risk. The Principal Planning Officer stated that the application was on a unique site and could not comment on why AONB officers had not raised any objections. Councillor Ellie Chard seconded the application be granted in accordance with officer recommendations. Local and Committee member, Councillor Terry Mendies urged the Committee to consider the location of the application in close proximity to a small village. The business plan submitted with the application was vague and would not be supported by the local community. Proposal – Councillor Alan James Proposed that the application be granted in accordance with officer recommendations, seconded by Councillor Ellie Chard. The Development Manager reminded the Committee that if members were to refuse the application against officer recommendation, there was the need to be clear on the reasons why they refused the application to protect the Council’s interest should the applicant submit an appeal. The Council would need to be able to defend the Committee’s reason for refusing the application using the reasons the Committee had given in terms of evidence. Councillor Huw Hilditch- Roberts questioned if the application was granted could there be a condition included to ensure that the design of the building was considered with the Local Member. The Development Manager stated that it was important to consider the application that had been presented to the Committee. Conditions on the materials used on a development could be included in the application however, the specific design and the shape of the building was as stated in the application. The Chair stated that if the application was to be approved a condition relating to the materials used on the building would be beneficial. Proposal – Councillor Huw Hilditch- Roberts proposed that if the application was granted an additional condition relating to the submission of specific materials in relation to the design of the building be included, seconded by Councillor Alan James. Vote – For – 12 Against – 7 Abstain - 0 RESOLVED: that the application be GRANTED in accordance with officer recommendations which is to include an additional condition on the specific materials used in relation to the design of the building.
Decision as recorded
RESOLVED: that the application be REFUSED against Officers recommendation. Meeting concluded at 12.30pm
An application was submitted for the demolition of existing garage and erection of 4 terraced houses, formation of accesses and parking, landscaping and associated works. Public Speaker – Dylan Jones (agent) (for) – the site was formally a motor vehicle repair shop, petrol filling station and tyre bay which was in use relatively recently and a benefit of the application was the removal of this use. The application addressed the housing need in the local area and the applicant had volunteered an open space contribution as part of the development. Concerns regarding the impact on residential amenity and highway safety and vehicle movement had been taken into consideration with comprehensive work being undertaken with the Highways Service. Consideration had been given to the property neighbouring the rear of the site. General debate – The Chair stated a well-attended site visit had taken place on the 31 October 2025. Councillor Peter Scott highlighted previous concerns regarding the access to the site however, following the site visit, felt there were no issues with the access to the site after discussions with Highways Services. The proposed dwellings were tall in stature however fitted in with surrounding dwellings. The development would remove a site that was described as an eyesore in the local area. Local and Committee member Councillor Andrea Tomlin acknowledged the work that had been completed on the application and highlighted it had been long awaited however, emphasised the following concerns. The proposal represented over intensification of the site. The inclusion of four 3-storey, 4-bedroomed dwellings was disproportionate to the size of the plot. Car parking provision (7 spaces) was inadequate considering visitors and that children now lived at home longer. The proposed access to the site would cause dangerous highway concerns due to the proximity of the site to traffic lights and a crossroads at the top of the town. The bungalow to the rear of the site would be severely over shadowed and the development was close to a conservation site. Many residents had put forward objections to the application. Councillor Andrea Tomlin proposed that the application be refused against officer recommendation. The Development Manager explained that officers had recommended the application be granted following consultation with experts on different aspects of the application. The exiting use of the site was unusual, a business use site within a development boundary, close to a town centre. Over intensification of the site had been stated however, the number of dwellings per hectare was consistent with planning policy. In relation to the impact on the neighbouring property to the rear of the site, the design of the dwellings included dormer windows on the higher levels of the dwellings facing the front of the building. Those on the rear, at high level, would be obscure glazed. It was important to consider the impact on the amenities of the neighbouring property however, refusal of the application would only be affirmed if the application was to cause significant material harm to residents. The Senior Engineer for Traffic, Parking and Road Safety addressed the access concerns that had been raised. The existing use of the site was a garage and tyre fitting service which was a busy site at the time, with customers entering and vacating the site on a frequent basis throughout the day. The proposal would include closing the access adjacent to Gronant Road and Pendre Avenue and reinstating the footway along the boundary. The existing access by the traffic signals would remain in place with a Keep Clear marking on the road. While the shortfall in parking provision was acknowledged, guidance was used based on the vehicle activity of the existing use of the site. Taking the above points into consideration, it would be difficult to refuse the application on highway grounds. Councillor Jon Harland expressed his disappointment that the application did not engage with any climate change mitigation measures. The Development Manager stated that until there was a legislative change at a planning level in relation to climate change mitigations, these could not be enforced by local planning authorities. Proposal – Councillor Andrea Tomlin proposed that the application be refused against officer recommendation, seconded by Councillor Huw Hilditch- Roberts on grounds of highway safety and over development and impact on neighbours. Vote – For – 15 Against – 2 Abstain – 1 RESOLVED: that the application be REFUSED against Officers recommendation. Meeting concluded at 12.30pm
Councillors must say when they have a personal link to something being discussed, such as a job, a property or a family member. A prejudicial interest is one strong enough that the councillor usually leaves the room and takes no part.
