Bangor City Council has stopped commenting on planning applications, Cyngor Gwynedd's planning committee heard.

Bangor City Council has not been commenting on planning applications, Cyngor Gwynedd's planning committee heard during its meeting on Monday, 19 October. The committee has asked Gwynedd's planning chief to 'write again' to the city council requesting future responses, whilst the planning service has also offered 'help' to resolve the matter.

The issue emerged as the planning committee approved a reduced housing scheme for eight homes behind St David's retail park, just off Caernarfon Road. The three-storey homes with integrated garages and parking were granted permission on Plot One of the Maes Berea housing development, with two of the houses to be secured as affordable units.

Cllr Berwyn Parry Jones said: 'I realise, once again, that no response has been received by Bangor City Council.' He expressed hope that the city council would resume its engagement with planning applications. Cllr Cai Larsen suggested the planning authority needed to be proactive regarding the lack of comments from Bangor City Council.
