The Principal Planning Officer advised that the cumulative impact of the proposed development had been considered along with the Environmental Statement submitted with the application.
In response to questions the Principal Planning Officer advised that the previous planning permission was considered to be an extant consent. This was for 10000 free range table birds with six clean out periods per year. The current application was for larger units for 23500 birds and this number would be limited by condition. The proposed system would require a clean out every 55 weeks.

Location: Land adj Lon-Yr-Ywen, Pontrobert, Powys, SY22 6JT
Proposal: Outline: Proposed residential development of up to 5 no. dwellings, formation of vehicular access and associated works (some matters reserved)
Application Type: Application for Outline Planning Permission
County Councillor E Jones spoke as the local representative. Mrs A Molton spoke against the application. Mr Proudlove spoke as the applicant.
The Planning Officer advised that in the emerging Local Development Plan [LDP] Pontrobert was classed as a large village. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that if the Committee was minded to approve the application condition 5 should be changed to state that the level of affordable housing should be 60%, rather than 20%.
Concerns were raised about the sustainability of further developments in Pontrobert. The Planning Officer advised that new development to date was as follows: · Allocated housing site under the Unitary Development Plan [UDP] – 13 dwellings, with two not yet built · Recent approved application – 9 dwellings not yet commenced · Affordable houses – 2 dwellings In addition to the above a further two applications had been received for five dwellings each.
The Professional Lead Development Management advised that on balance, officers considered that this application was acceptable on sustainability grounds. In addition although two open market dwellings were a departure from the UPD the provision of three affordable houses was in line with the UDP. He advised that the Committee had to consider this against the sustainability of the development.
Concerns were raised about the lack of facilities in the village and the distances to other towns. In addition, it was noted that the percentage and number of welsh speakers had reduced over a 10 year period.
In response to questions the Network Manager advised that the development should not make the flow of water worse and he considered that the drainage proposed for the development would make improvements. The Planning Officer advised that condition 7 secured the need for engineering details regarding surface water drainage.
It was moved and duly seconded to approve the application, as set out in the officer’s report, with the amendment to condition 2 to state a level of affordable housing at 60%. The motion was lost on a vote.
The Chair changed the order of the meeting to accommodate speakers and the public.
