County Councillor D Jones spoke as the local representative. Mrs M Blackburn spoke against the application. Mrs M Wellsford spoke against the application. Mr P Bartley spoke on behalf of the applicant.
The Committee noted the letter from Welsh Government on behalf of the Welsh Minister regarding the request to call-in the application. In response to questions, the Solicitor explained that the Committee was able to consider the application. If it was minded to approve the application, it would only be prevented from granting the planning permission and would need to await the Welsh Minister’s decision regarding the call-in.
The Principal Planning Officer advised that the recommendation was as contained in the Update, amended to read: Should Members be minded to approve the application then no planning permission shall be issued until confirmation of no call-in has been received from the Welsh Minister. It be delegated to the Professional Lead in consultation with the Chair and Vice Chair to issue the decision in the event that the Welsh Minister does not call-in the application.
The Highways Authority confirmed that it was content with the application and that the new passing bay could be accommodated within the existing highway verge. The Principal Planning Officer advised that Natural Resources Wales [NRW] had been consulted on the application and no objections had been received from it. If a third party prevented the applicant from improving the visibility splays at the access to the site, the applicant would not be able to comply with the recommended conditions and the development would need to stop. The applicant would then need to come back to Development Management.
In response to questions about the ancient woodland and trees the Principal Planning Officer advised that ancient woodland and trees were protected from development which would result in their loss or deterioration. She considered that the proposed development would not have such an impact and in addition the applicant proposed a management scheme for the woodland which would have a positive impact on the area. She advised that under the Forestry Act 1967 woodland owners are allowed to carry out exempted works to manage and clear woods.
Comments were made about the application being acceptable under Policy TD1. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that support would be approved for developments in the open countryside, where applications would not detract from the overall character and appearance of the area.

In response to questions the Principal Planning Officer advised that the proposed calming measures would not use third party or private land.
