Eight new homes recommended for approval near Bangor retail park

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 13 Oct, 14:02 · Archive

Planning officers have recommended approval for eight new homes near St David's Shopping Centre in Bangor, with two to be affordable.

Cyngor Gwynedd's planning committee will consider an application for eight homes with integrated garages at Maes Berea on 19 October. Planning officers have recommended approval, subject to amending the section 106 agreement and securing two affordable units.

The development site is steep, with land rising from the front where it meets the access road to the Maes Berea housing estate. Capel Berea Newydd sits on elevated land at the north-western boundary, and a public footpath runs along the north-eastern edge with residential houses beyond. Across the access road is a yard serving St David's Shopping Centre.

The eight proposed houses would be arranged as four pairs of semi-detached homes, replacing an earlier proposal for three terraces. Each house would have three bedrooms and a bathroom on the third floor, living space and kitchen on the first floor, and a garage, multi-purpose room and toilet on the ground floor. All houses would have a similar design.
