P/2017/0315 Land adj to Bwlch yr Laen, Dolfach, Llanbrynmair, Powys, SY19 7AG PDF 246 KB Additional documents: Minutes: Application No: P/2017/0315
Grid Ref: 291351.89 301721.3
Valid Date: 23/03/2017
Officer: Eddie Hrustanovic
Community Council: Llanbrynmair Community Council
Applicant: Mr RW Morgan, Caetwpa, Dolfach, Llanbrynmair, Powys
Location: Land adj to Bwlch yr Laen, Dolfach, Llanbrynmair, Powys, SY19 7AG
Proposal: Outline - Residential development for 2 dwellings including formation of a vehicular access and associated works
Application Type: Application for Outline Planning Permission
County Councillor D. Jones-Poston spoke as the local representative. Mr M. Thompson spoke against the application. Mr R. Morgan spoke as the applicant.
The Professional Lead Development Management advised that due to the location of the application site, which was in close proximity to Llanbrynmair, it was considered that this development was sustainable. He also advised that the Update report circulated prior to the meeting, recommended that the application site was also sustainable in relation to the Welsh Language.
Questions were raised regarding the layout of the site and the outline plans and the Committee noted that this was an indicative layout and all matters relating to layout, size and style of dwellings etc. would be considered at the reserved matters stage. The Professional Lead Development Management in response to questions advised that the availability of houses for sale in an area was not considered when calculating the housing land supply. He advised that the Welsh Government’s guidance stated that the impact of a development on the Welsh Language should normally only be considered for large developments. In respect of the cumulative effect of developments he had discussed this issue with the Policy Team. He advised the Committee that during the hearing sessions for the Local Development Plan [LDP] the cumulative effect of developments had been raised but the Welsh Government did not consider that this should generally be taken into account.
In response to questions the Professional Lead Development Management advised that TAN1 gave considerable weight to the lack of a five year housing land supply and this carried more weight than other housing policies, such as HP9 and HP10.
The Chair apologised for not welcoming at the start of the meeting the new member for Yscir, County Councillor I McIntosh. He also welcomed Rhian Jones who was on work experience with Development Management.
County Councillor R Williams moved to the public seating area for the next application.

Public path Orders – Proposed abandonment PDF 14 KB To consider the report in respect of: Public path creation Order, bridleway LG964(A) and public path extinguishment Order, bridleway LG964, community of Llangunllo Additional documents:
Minutes: The Committee received a report in respect of Public path creation Order, bridleway LG964(A) and public path extinguishment Order, bridleway LG964, community of Llangunllo [copy filed with signed minutes].
The Definitive Map and Commons Registration Officer advised that the landowners had installed a wireless warning system which warned anyone on the firing range if walkers or riders were using the path. This allows health and safety to be managed with the bridleway in its current location. In respect of the spur the Officer advised that if the landowner was willing to provide a link to another public path, the Authority could consider an application as there was public gain. However, if the landowner wished to pursue an extinguishment order they would have to meet the costs themselves, as there was no public gain.
The Committee noted that the meeting on 3rd August would now take place in County Hall.
