Decision & conditions
Decision Notice Officers ReportPlanning conditions
- In the opinion of the local planning authority it has not been demonstrated that the development would not lead to an increase in phosphate levels in the River Dee and Bala Lake SAC, with a resultant significant impact on the protected site. Nor has it been demonstrated that it is not possible or feasible to connect to the public sewage system. As such it is considered that the development is contrary to policy EN15 of the Flintshire Local Development Plan as well as advice contained within Planning Policy Wales 12 regarding Water Quality and the protection of SACs, and Welsh Government Circular 008/2018.
- In the opinion of the Local Planning Authority the proposal fails to identify the specific need for a Gypsy and Traveller transit site in this location. As such the application appears to be speculative in nature and fails to accords to the provisions of policy HN9 in the Flintshire Local Development Plan.
- In the absence of a baseline ecological information it is considered that it is not possible for the proposal to demonstrate that the submitted green infrastructure statement applies the application of positive multi functional outcomes which are appropriate to the site and fails to demonstrates how the policy requirements of PPW12 as well as policies STR13 and EN2 have been complied with. As such the proposal is contrary to policies STR13 and EN2 of the Flintshire Local Development Plan
