Proposal: Full: Change of use of agricultural building and yard for parking of commercial vehicles together with alterations to roof design of building previously approved under permission P/2016/0149 (part retrospective)
Application Type: Application for Full Planning Permission
The Committee noted the change in the description of the proposal which was should read “Full: Change of use to ‘Mixed Use’ of agricultural building and yard for parking of commercial vehicles together with alterations to roof design of building previously approved under permission P/2016/0149 (part retrospective).” The Principal Planning Officer advised that if the Committee was minded to approve the application the officer’s recommendation was contained in the Update report.
The Committee noted that the applicant had not previously complied with conditions imposed relating to a previously approved planning consent. In response to questions the Principal Planning Officer advised that there had been a lot of discussion with the agent and applicant and a condition requiring the work to be completed within 4 to 6 weeks was recommended and that this would be monitored by Development Management. Changing the site to “mixed use” allowed Development Management to impose more controls on the highways and hours of operation. The number of vehicles stored on the site would be limited by the curtilage, any extension of this area would need to be considered via a planning application.
In response to a question regarding the safety of people using the rights of way the Principal Planning Officer advised that Countryside Services had not raised any concerns.
County Councillor K Laurie-Parry arrived at the meeting.
The Chair altered the order of the applications as follows.

Application Type: Application for Outline Planning Permission
It was noted that Severn Trent Water had no objections to the application. The Planning Officer confirmed that the application was for 4 open market houses and one affordable home.
Concerns were raised regarding what weight should be given to the Local Development Plan [LDP]. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that Planning Policy Wales states that weight can be given to an emerging LDP. However, the Planning Inspector can change or delete policies in the LDP and so there is only certainty when the Planning Inspector’s binding report has been received by the Council. He advised that the information regarding affordable housing could be used as this was up to date evidence.
In response to concerns raised, the Solicitor agreed to clarify the Planning Protocol in respect of Committee members’ attendance at town and community council meetings.
