Application Type:            Application for Outline Planning Permission

 

The Committee confirmed that they had time to read the Update.

 

The Highway Authority advised that it could not comment on why the Trunk Road Agency [TRA] had stated that the layby was a non-compliant asset.  

 

In response to comments the Professional Lead Development Management advised that if the Committee was minded to refuse the application on highways safety grounds Development Management would struggle to support this at appeal and this could result in costs to the Authority.  The Committee commented that the application had been deferred to get clarity regarding the layby but felt this had not been forthcoming.  The Professional Lead Development Management advised that if the Committee was considering deferral again the applicant could appeal on the grounds of non-determination by the Authority.

 

The Committee noted that the layby was well used by the community and road users, it had the post box, phonebox with the defribaltor and was also used as a bus stop and also a bus stop for the people with disabilities.  In response to questions the Professional Lead Development Management advised that the layby could be argued as a community facility.

 

It was moved and duly seconded to refuse the application due to the loss of the layby which was considered to be a community facility and that it be delegated to Professional Lead Development Management to agree the wording of the reason for refusal.

 

RESOLVED:

Reason for decision:

that contrary to officers recommendation the application be refused and that it be delegated to Professional Lead Development Management to agree the wording of the reason for refusal.

The proposed development would result in the loss of a community facility/service and is therefore contrary to policy CS2 of the Powys Unitary Development Plan (2010) and Planning Policy Wales (Edition 9, November 2016).

The Committee raised concerns about establishing a principle if it approved the application and that a development in this position would be in a prominent position outside the development boundary.  Concerns were also raised about the impact on existing dwellings.  In response to a question regarding the betterment to the highway, the Highway Authority advised that the proposed development would result in a decrease in traffic flow and so this would result in the betterment of a sub-standard junction.

Application Type:            Application for Full Planning Permission

 

The Committee questioned whether this was an application for a replacement dwelling.  It noted that the proposed dwelling was not on the footprint of the original building, being over a 1 km away and that the Built Heritage Officer advised that the existing building should be retained, as an example of local vernacular.  The Professional Lead Development Management advised that due to the poor highway to the existing property, officers considered that the replacement dwelling could not be considered at this site.  The applicant was therefore proposing the replacement dwelling at Ty Brith.

 

Concerns were raised about the location of the proposed replacement dwelling and its impact on existing dwellings.  The Professional Lead Development Management advised that the Committee had to consider the impact of the development on the character and appearance on the area. 

 

It was moved and duly seconded to refuse the application due to the impact of the development on the character and appearance on the area. 

 

RESOLVED:

Reason for decision:

that contrary to officers recommendation, the application be refused.

 

The proposed development would have an unacceptable landscape and visual impact, contrary to planning policy.

 

The Committee asked that it’s concerns be recorded that applications should accurately record for what is being applied and that if this is not done applications should not be considered.

 

County Councillor K. Lewis left the meeting.
