PLANS to build a detached home in Dyserth will be debated at Denbighshire Council’s planning committee, following concerns the proposal breaches countryside development policies.
The application, submitted by Rob Evans, seeks permission to construct a large detached house within the garden of 121 Cwm Road, Dyserth.
The proposed property would share an access point with the existing home and include a garage, rear patio, and a large sloped back garden leading towards wooded land.
Cllr David Williams has called the application in for debate, despite the application going against planning policy.
“As county councillor for Dyserth, and having lived here for almost seventy years, I strongly feel that this particular case needs to be brought before the full planning committee of councillors for full debate and detailed discussions on a few pertinent issues,” said Cllr Williams.
“This application relates to land that is within an established residential area of Dyserth and not in open countryside.”
He added: “If allowed, this proposed development will allow a multi-generational family unit on the garden of an existing residential plot.”
The proposals have met strong opposition from the Clwydian Range and Dee Valley Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) Joint Advisory Committee, which suggested the plans weren’t in line with the council’s local development plan.
A statement said: “The application site lies in open countryside outside defined settlement limits.
“No information has been provided with the application to prove that the dwelling would be provided for local needs affordable housing in perpetuity.”
The statement concluded: “The proposed development does not comply with any of these policies and should be refused.”
Denbighshire’s housing officers also objected. The report stated: “The current proposal is for a single large open market dwelling. Policy BSC 9 only allows for local connections affordable dwellings.
“The proposal fails to meet the requirements of the policy by introducing market housing and is not supported.”
The plans will be debated at Denbighshire Council’s planning committee meeting at Ruthin County Hall on Wednesday 18 June.
