County Councillor E.M. Jones spoke as the local representative and then, having declared a prejudicial interest, left the meeting room. Councillor R. Burton spoke on behalf of Old Radnor Community Council. Mr M Law spoke for the applicant.
The Chair advised that he would consider the application under the following headings: principle of development; cultural heritage; landscape and visual impact; ecology; highways and rights of way and any other issues under “catch all”.
In response to questions the Planning Officer advised that the phasing of the scheme would be to 2111. The restoration was ongoing and also depended on the rate of extraction. A condition had been recommended which required the submission of restoration and after care plans if the extraction process ceased. Concerns were raised that there were examples of sites across Powys where restoration and aftercare had not been completed. The Committee considered that if the quarry ceased at any point in time the County Council should not be liable for the restoration and after care costs. In response to questions regarding the ability of requesting a bond from the applicant, the Professional Lead Development Management advised that he was only aware of bonds being requested for coal and wind farm schemes. In addition he advised that recently a bond requested in respect of Garreg Llwyd windfarm was deemed to not be required by the Welsh Government. In response to a question the Planning Officer advised that the applicant had previously carried out acceptable restoration work and complied with restoration plans.
The Planning Officer in response to questions regarding dust monitoring advised that this would be covered under other legislation and be monitored by the Environmental Health Officer. The Profession Lead Development Management advised that although planning should not duplicate other legislation a condition could be added if the Committee was minded to approve the application.
The Committee noted that the £10k contribution made by the applicant to the Authority, referred to by the applicant, was a contribution towards mitigating any impact of the public rights of ways network.
