Plans for 30 new homes at Pen-y-Ffridd, Penrhosgarnedd, Bangor. Screengrab from planning application. Planning inspectors have overruled Gwynedd’s councillors by allowing permission to build 30 homes near Ysbyty Gwynedd, despite claims that traffic is already “bonkers” in the area. December saw Gwynedd’s planning committee turn down a housing association’s application for the mix of two and three bedroom homes at Pen-y-Ffridd, Penrhosgarnedd on the outskirts of Bangor. Committee members had gone against the advice of the authority’s own officers in refusing Adra’s plans, citing the impact on the already congested road. But after an appeal was launched, independent planning inspectors have decided to overrule the committee’s original decision.
