Councillor K Roberts-Jones spoke as the local representative.
In response to questions regarding highway issues the Highway Authority advised that the proposed four new dwellings would mean an insignificant increase in the road usage and traffic speeds in the area were within the speed limits. The proposed widening of the road and the provision of a footway would benefit highways safety. The Highways Authority advised that the flooding on the road referred to by the local representative was a maintenance issue and not an issue for consideration in this application.
The Committee noted that in the Unitary Development Plan [UDP] 60 houses had been approved as an appropriate level of growth and it was argued that as 60 houses had been approved the need identified in the UDP had been met. It was also considered that this was not an infill site. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that the UDP gave a guide to the appropriate level of sustainable development and that any application had to be considered as to whether further growth was sustainable. As Kerry has a school, shops and other facilities it was considered that the proposed development was sustainable. In response to comments the Professional Lead Development Management advised that TAN1 states that developments on exception sites must comply with all policies and that this site duly complied.

The Committee noted that the proposed development was on Grade 3a agricultural land and the Professional Lead Development Management advised that the protection of this Grade of agricultural land should be given weight when considering applications.

Questions were raised about the number of dwellings approved in the area. The Planning Officer advised that 53 dwellings had been approved and it was considered that as this was an area centre further development was sustainable. The Professional Lead Development Management advised that the Welsh Language had decreased by 3% in the area and stated that if the Committee was minded to approve the application he recommended it be delegated to him to add a condition about the need for a mitigation scheme in respect of the Welsh language.
Concerns were raised about the steep slope of the site and the Planning Officer advised that if the principle of development was approved cross-sectional drawings would be required at reserved matters and the developer would need to comply with Building Regulations, in respect of accessibility of the site and dwellings. In response to comments the Lead Professional Development Management advised that the development boundary was to protect the countryside.
It was moved and duly seconded to refuse the application as the development was outside the development boundary and that it had an unacceptable impact on the landscape and to delegate to the Lead Professional Development Management to agree appropriate wording for the reasons for refusal.
